HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Aces became the first WNBA team to sell out every home game in a season when the final tickets were claimed Thursday for a Sept. 3 contest against the Chicago Sky and heralded rookie Angel Reese.
That game is one of two for Las Vegas scheduled for T-Mobile Arena, which is bigger than the Aces’ usual home venue and will be the site of their matchup with No. 1 draft pick Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on July 2. The other 18 home games for the two-time reigning champions are at Michelob Ultra Arena.
In March, Las Vegas became the first team to ever sell out its allotment of season tickets, leaving only individual game tickets available.
The Aces set a team attendance record for Michelob Ultra Arena when 10,424 spectators showed up for last Saturday’s game against the New York Liberty, who won 90-82. The Aces beat the Liberty in last year’s WNBA Finals.
Las Vegas set a franchise home attendance record when 17,406 watched the Aces beat the Phoenix Mercury 100-85 last season at T-Mobile Arena.
