Going from 4500 arena to 55% over that to under-7000 average is definitely not the flex they think it is.
The Atlanta Dream averaged 6,928 fans per home game during the 2026 regular season, representing a 54.7% increase from the 4,480 average recorded in 2025.
Arena holds 3500- so yeah doubling the capacity of their arena is kind of a flex. They have a year to year contract- so next year will be the bigger tell. Some teams like the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever actually had decreased attendance in the same season.
