Brian GonzalesHOST
Okay.
Conrado PascualHOST
Gateway Arena.
Conrado PascualHOST
Yeah.
Conrado PascualHOST
Um, what I will say is, and again, I want to preface this 'cause just in case Atlanta PR, you know me.
Orlando MontoyaHOST
How did this team build a fan base to support that move?
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
Well, I'm so happy you, uh, talk about Gateway Center Arena because that's where we kinda got that homegrown feeling from.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
Like, you hear Angel Reese and, and Alysha Gray constantly talk about Atlanta.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
At those games it feels like one big cookout because of the support that Atlanta has gotten.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
Um, and it started at Gateway Center Arena, where everybody felt the intimacy of the arena.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
The fans feel like they're friends with the players.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
Um, and if you guys remember the history of the Dream, they used to play in State Farm Arena, and then they went to Georgia Tech for a couple seasons, my alma mater, and played there while Gateway Center Arena was getting built, and then they went to Gateway for a few seasons, and now we've outgrown that in just three to four years.
Tabitha TurnerGUEST
So we had to get a bigger venue to please the crowd.
TempestHOST
That is janky.
StephanieHOST
Like, is it so offensive to ask the Hawks to play in Gateway Center Arena? I
TempestHOST
don't think we should ask.
TempestHOST
Just tell.
TempestHOST
This is a big
StephanieHOST
deal.
StephanieHOST
But no, y'all want to be offended because we're sending the men's team to Gateway Center Arena.
StephanieHOST
But the women's team is the one that's bringing the eyes, the money, the revenue, all the stakes.
BalzerHOST
We've been doing the playoffs, right? But the Atlanta Dream are making their first appearance in the WNBA finals in 13 seasons, and it took some scheduling changes to get those finals games out of their current home venue, which only holds 3,500 people.
BalzerHOST
They play, uh, their regular season at the Gateway Center Arena, but they wanted to move to State Farm Arena because that holds 17,000 people, and obviously a lot more people are gonna go to the, the finals, right? So they had to do all these different scheduling things.
BalzerHOST
So there was obviously a couple of Atlanta Hawks games.
BalzerHOST
That's where the Hawks play.
Sarah SpainHOST
[screen scratches] Let's start with the WNBA, and great news for Atlanta Dream fans, and just WNBA fans in general, ahead of the upcoming WNBA Finals.
Sarah SpainHOST
It's been announced that the Dream's first two WNBA Finals home games, games three and four, have been moved from tiny Gateway Center Arena to State Farm Arena, the home of the MNBA's Atlanta Hawks, which holds more than 17,000 fans.
Sarah SpainHOST
You remember that at first they didn't think they'd be able to make this move, but game three has been moved up a day to October 21st to avoid a conflict with a concert at State Farm, and game four will tip off a little early on the 24th to accommodate the Hawks playing there that night.
Sarah SpainHOST
The Hawks pushed back their tip-off to allow the Dream to take over the venue in the afternoon.
Chiney OgwumikeHOST
Autumn, why was it so necessary for the Atlanta Dream to be able to play in their max arena, State Farm?
Autumn JohnsonGUEST
Look, I have so much love for Gateway Center Arena.
Autumn JohnsonGUEST
Um, you know, it would've been nice to get, like, a nice proper send-off for fans with that, that historic moment in that building.
Autumn JohnsonGUEST
But it is so necessary to be in State Farm Arena because of the energy that we've seen already.
Sheena AllenHOST
Fast forward over to the Atlanta Dream.
Sheena AllenHOST
For those who do not know, the Atlanta Dream used to play in Gateway Arena, which held about 3,500 people.
Sheena AllenHOST
A few of their bigger games, they did play at the State Farm Arena, which is where the Hawks play.
Sheena AllenHOST
State Farm holds roughly 17,000, 18,000.
Sheena AllenHOST
Gateway Arena holds about 3,500.
Sheena AllenHOST
Chase Arena also holds roughly 17,000 to 18,000.
Sheena AllenHOST
Due to a conflict, a concert by some guy who I forgot, Sumber.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
The Hawks game has been moved from an 8 p.m. start to an 8.30 tip-off.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
Now, potential Game 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern on October 29 is currently scheduled to be at the Dream's home venue, Gateway Center Arena, 3,500 seats.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
However, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA Today additional discussions could happen to assess whether that facility is going to remain the venue of choice.
Ken DrostNARRATOR
We are grateful for the efforts made by numerous stakeholders, including the Dream, the Valkyries, the Hawks, State Farm Arena, NBC Sports, USA Sports, according to Kathy Engelbert, WNBA Commissioner.

Wilton JacksonGUEST
I think it's good that the Dream were able to, uh, basically move those games to State Farm arena.
Wilton JacksonGUEST
Because honestly, Gateway, Gateway Center Arena is just too small.
Wilton JacksonGUEST
It's too small, Noah.
Wilton JacksonGUEST
Um, as a person who's been in there for quite some time, and, and, and granted, the one thing about Gateway is that it gives you that intimate feel, and fans love the intimate feel.
