Arena Dreams: Atlanta Looking for New Home As Game vs. Fever Moves
The Atlanta Dream are in search of a larger, long-term home arena and are exploring options, including building their own arena that could seat around 12,000 to 14,000 fans, team president Morgan Shaw Parker told Front Office Sports.
“We’re actively seeking our long-term home,” Shaw Parker said. “We are seeking opportunities to either partner [with an existing stadium] or build our own.” She said the team is looking at options in the city and within the greater Atlanta area.
The Dream were able to sell out all 20 of their home games last year, though 18 were played at the Gateway Center Arena, their current home, which fits around 4,000, the smallest capacity for a home arena in the WNBA.
Shaw Parker said there’s no exact timeline for when the team aims to move out of Gateway Center Arena, but told FOS their contract is “year-to-year.” The team is also exploring options to build a new “state-of-the-art” practice facility, which has become the norm around the WNBA as players search for organizations willing to invest holistically.
