CORRECTS TO ARLINGTON, TEXAS, NOT DALLAS - Indiana Fever guard Caitlyn Clark talks to the media prior to playing an WNBA basketball game against the Dallas Wings in Arlington, Texas, Friday, May 3, 2024.

Pailynn Amos, 9, was also outside the arena wearing a yellow Clark jersey with her own sign — “When I grow up I wanna be just like her.”“I watched her like crazy,” Rebecca said. “So, she just kind of grew to her. Then we were like, ‘Wow, now she’s in Dallas.’ We could actually go see her!”WNBA ticket sales on StubHub are up 93%.

“Did you give it every single thing you had? I think that’s the biggest thing,” Clark said. “I want to step out onto the court, and then I want to leave the court tonight and feel like I played like Caitlin Clark’s played my entire life.”
