The two-time WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces say they are moving their July 2 game vs the Indiana Fever to T-Mobile Arena from the Michelob Ultra Arena.
This is the second home Aces game that will be played at T-Mobile Arena. When the Aces announced their 2024 home schedule, the Aces vs Chicago Sky game was slated for T-Mobile Arena. The Aces play 20 home games on their 40-game schedule.
LVSportsBiz.com asked the Aces why the Fever vs Aces game for July 2 was switched to the bigger arena. Aces spokesperson John “Giggy” Maxwell provided this response: “T-Mobile is obviously a larger venue (17,000-plus, compared to 10,000-plus at Michelob ULTRA Arena). We sold out five of our 20 home games as of late yesterday, three days after putting single game tickets on sale. Given the demand for this game, and given that T-Mobile was available, the decision was made to move the game to allow as many fans as possible to attend.”
