The Iowa women's basketball team doesn't need Caitlin Clark to attract massive attention.
There's no question that former Iowa Hawkeye Caitlin Clark has brought unprecedented attention to the sport of women's basketball.Clark's consecutive trips to the NCAA National Championship game in 2023 and 2024 came after entire seasons spent in front of energetic crowds and full gyms. Especially in the 2023-24 season, when Clark was chasing the NCAA's all-time scoring crown, each time she took the court felt like a coronation in front of thousands of adoring fans.
All of this hype prompted Iowa to sell out their season tickets, which is an impressive accomplishment for any college sports team. Yet, given Clark's stature in the sport, Iowa selling out its home games wasn't a surprise. The bigger surprise arrived Wednesday, when the Iowa Women's Basketball's social media accounts announced that all season tickets for this upcoming 2024-25 season have also been sold out.Of course, the reason this comes as a surprise is that Clark is no longer at Iowa. However, this serves as proof that Iowa's fanbase doesn't solely consist of just Clark supporters, and instead attended games because they loved the entire team.
Despite this sell-out news, it's hard to imagine that Clark will struggle to get access to games whenever she wants it.Grant Young covers Women’s Basketball, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
