Caitlin Clark, Fever set WNBA single-game ticket revenue record in loss to Liberty.

Caitlin Clark played in front of another sell-out crowd on Saturday.

Caitlin Clark didn’t win Saturday afternoon, but her outing at the Barclays Center set a WNBA revenue record.

The New York Liberty earned more than $2 million in ticket revenue for their 91-80 win over the Indiana Fever on Saturday,

according to The Associated Press. That’s an all-time record for the league for a single game.

The game was sold out, which means more than 17,000 fans packed in to watch the contest.

It was the third sold-out game that Clark has played in so far this season, after the Fever sold out their home opener,

following a sold-out crowd in Connecticut for their season opener.

“That’s incredible,” Liberty star Breanna Stewart said about the ticket revenue, via The Associated Press.

“I think the buzz and eyes that Caitlin has brought from Iowa now to the WNBA is a collective win for all.

When I first started in the league, teams weren’t making revenue. … It’s a long time coming.

I’m happy to be at this point, but not satisfied.”

Several big names were in attendance for the game, too, including Billie Jean King, Michell Wie West, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.
