The Las Vegas Aces become the first WNBA team to sell out every home game in a season

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) – The Las Vegas Aces became the first WNBA team to sell out every home game in a season when tickets were picked up Thursday for the Sept. 3 final game against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

This game is certainly one of two scheduled for T-Mobile Arena, which is larger than the regular Aces stadium. The Aces will face Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on July 2.

The two-time defending champions’ remaining 18 home games can be played at the Michelob Ultra Arena.

In March, Las Vegas became the first team in history to sell out its entire season ticket pool, leaving only tickets for single games.
