I don't think its logo 3's exciting as they are. Was watching Paige Uconn play and she's great, but something was missing. Then I realized, Caitlin is like a field general out there arranging the floor, choosing attack vectors, pinpoint passing and receivers etc. No one else has that.
Cheryl is trying to destroy the team she is running. Everyone should just stay away for Lynx season tickets and let Cheryl explain the empty seats, it will change what is going on. Maybe the new coach for the Fever should let Catlin set out the first night that the Fever in at the Lynx. The board of directors will can Cheryl if that happens.
THEY ARE SCREWING THE FANS!! BOTTOM LINE, JUST BECAUSE THE FANS LIKE CAITLIN MORE???? THIS IS NOT EQUITABLY FAIR!!! TO THE FANS AND THEY WILL PRICE THEMSELVES OUT TO THE POINT NO ONE WILL COME AND PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES FOR TICKETS!!! i HOPE NO ONE BUYS THEIR TICKETS!!!!
Yeah she should rest it up they will have enough good players to swap her out for that match. They should advertise CC won't play, so people don't buy the tickets. Let them have a half empty stadium
What they are doing with the tickets is unethical and should be challenged in court. With hindsight they should ask themselves who was the real MVP last year?
You ask a number of questions here, all of which are valid! Is Clark a flash in the pan, a bubble waiting to burst? The answer to that question lays in the mind set and quality of League leadership. Currently I would have to say that if something were to happen to CC (God forbid!) the interest in the WNBA would revert back to where it was in 2023 and that was mediocre at best because that is still the mind set of WNBA leadership! PROTECT OUR DIVAS! Can there be another Caitlin Clark? I don't think so! It's been over 33 years and we're still waiting for another Larry Bird to appear! Larry was a special cat! Couldn't run fast or jump high, was slow by any standard and still cooked the best defensive players in the league, bar none! Caitlin is much more than a Hooper! She doesn't really care about the records and accolades, neither did Bird or Magic, they were pure Basketball and so is Caitlin! She just wants to play basketball and push herself to be the best she can be! As she has said on many occasions, just play the game and the accolades will follow. The only true rivalry I see in Caitlin Elizabeth Clark is a competition that she has with HERSELF! THAT is the person that she wants to beat! Always positive by nature, humble and pleasant. Could you just imagine the ego and bragging that we would be subjected to by the likes of A'Ja, Reese, and most of the current WNBA players if they had achieved what Caitlin has achieved? They would be insufferable to listen to or be around! No sir, Caitlin is a special cat! We will see better scorers maybe, better ball handlers, maybe better passers and maybe even people with a higher Basketball IQ and court vision, but to have ALL of those qualities in one person? Caitlin is that proverbial "Royal Flush" of a Basketball player. a once in a lifetime one of one player/personality, the whole package!
IF THE REFS, AND PLAYERES DON'T HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPECT, & SPORTSMANSHIP, CC COULD GET HURT, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE EYE POKE WAS MORE SERIOUS, WHAT IF SHE HAD HURT AN ACL WHEN SHE GOT RUNN=OVER AT MID COURT, IF CC CAN'T PLAY EVERYTHING WOULD STOP!! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ABOUT BESIDES THEMSELVES???
I think it will go one of 3 ways, 1.People will just not buy the tickets or 2.Business owners willbe the only ones that can afford the tickets and possibily gift them to employees that do a great job at work type of thing. Businesses can write the tickets off as promotional, where the average joe can't. 3. The mystic fans will go to indiana to watch Caitlin play.
Fever Fans should stay away from the Lynx home games when the Fever comes to town. Stay home, buy the largest big screen tv you want and all the snacks and beverages you want and just don't give a shit about Coach Reeve and co.
MAYBE THE FANS SHOULDN'T GIVE "TWO SHITS ABOUT C. REEVES AND THE LYNX!" THAT WOULD BE POETIC JUSTICE!!! DON'T BUY THE TICKETS, AND LET THEM PLAY TO AN EMPTY ARENA!!! JUST LIKE UNRIVALED!!!
Boycott the teams that are jacking up the prices for Caitlin Clark tickets and just buy a fever ticket and use the extra money to travel to stay at Indianapolis. It will be cheaper than paying four times the value to watch somebody else price gouge
That's what we did. Did not renew our season membership with the Lynx, got RT tickets to Indianapolis for $150 each and will watch Fever vs. NY over Memorial Day weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. So excited to be in Indiana and the weekend will cost far less than what Lynx is trying to price gouge the Lynx season ticket holders for wanting to include Indiana in their membership package.
WHY MAKE THE FANS PAY FOR THEIR DISBELIEF IN CC!!! AND NOT OFFERING SINGLE TICKETS FOR THE FEVER??? WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING??? I HOPE THEY DON'T SELL ANY OF THESE TICKETS!!! IT ISN'T RIGHT OR FAIR, TO THE FANS!!!
Sometimes people make mistakes. Sometimes they don't see things clearly right away. The good of the matter is that sometimes they change their attitude and perception and admit they are wrong. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Generally the revenue from ticket sales will largely go to the team selling the tickets (the home team) as the visiting team would only have a few tickets allocated to them, usually for guests / friends / family. So in this case, the Lynx will get the proceeds of the packages and / or higher ticket sales
@@BasketballTopStories You used the word generally. In those terms ticket prices are based on seat location, market plans (special ticket deals, season and specials) and standardized regardless of whose bottom is in the seat. The variation in price is standardized to encourage attendance and advantages in favor of attendance. In this case who is on the court is the operable factor and even if it is good for the host team it is a negative factor for the visiting team that could unfairly affect the game. If the visiting team is the factor driving thie market up and the cooling effect of the price is impacting primarily their fans then it is not generally any more. Assuming at least a stamdardized amount of the income is paid to the WNBA, then they should have the authority to make an adjustment applying more equity to the seat price.
She don't give 2 shits and yet she jacked up prices for Fever games and forcing the fans to but season tickets?! Can you say boycot these 2 teams altogether?!
Maybe people just don’t go to their games but always sellout Fever at home games & any other team that is not trying to punish fans for loving to watch Fever! And they go back to making nothing & giving away tickets to make it appear they are selling tickets. Their fans should completely boycott them until THEYDO things right! Horrible behavior, from coaches & owners.
Women’s basketball has never been watchable till now. It didn’t matter if it’s high school or professional basketball the ticket prices are $28 per game. Games Indiana is scheduled to play have tickets over $4000. Generally the WNBA, National Women's Soccer League, Women's Professional Football League, women’s professional softball complain they aren’t getting paid enough. The only way to get paid more is by TV viewers and selling seats for the gymnasium. Again that is another thing that the NBA helps with. Every WNBA Record Caitlin Clark Set or Broke During Her Rookie Season.
I would guess there would have been tons of Iowa people buying tickets for the Lynx-Fever game in MN. No way they are all going to buy half season tix in order to get them. This may a large backfire foe them.
I love Caitlin Clark and Dave Portnoy. Yet is the Olympic Games the appropriate stage to promote a popular player in lieu of who you believe are the best players? By the end of the season, CC achieved first WNBA team honours, and deservedly so, but had she shown that sustained ability by mid year? I was all in favour of CC being on Team USA, but not because of popularity. It had to be on merit, and unfortunately, that was not quite unequivacal by that stage. I do think she could have been considered for the team on merit tho, even if equivocal. Most people of credibility would have agreed. Only the haters would have objected, and they should always be ignored.
Great comment here. Even CC admitted she wasnt really unequivocally deserving of being on Team USA during her TIME interview. However one slight issue in the selection was Chelsea Grey was injured the entire time prior to the Olympic break and she was selected instead of CC
Caitlin Clark was left off the Olympic team and they could even sell out tickets under $15. They trying to give them away to watch the USA Olympic women’s basketball team.
Do you agree with what the Lynx did?
No
Nope
@@BasketballTopStories I think it is going to come back to bite them.
NO I THINK IS IS JUST A "CASH GRAB," BY THE LYNX!! SHAMEFULLY ABSURD!!!
That kind of pricing will keep me home. All season. I have a big screen tv.
That’s price gouging
Where is the commissioner now??? As they try to insult &shakedown fans for supporting!
No I don’t. I’ll believe they should do that at all once that price that’s it for any game.
I don't get it. The more people watch the game, the more money players will make. It's like they want to ruin that.
Make a parade for WNBA champions and then another parade for Caitlin Clark and then tell me where the people is going to attend!
CC should not show at those games,
Why are they price gouging. That's ridiculous. I certainly cannot afford tickets. That's nuts!!
I would laught my ass off, if cc is injured or will catch the flu right brfore this game, the fans will destroy the lynx management
I don't think its logo 3's exciting as they are. Was watching Paige Uconn play and she's great, but something was missing. Then I realized, Caitlin is like a field general out there arranging the floor, choosing attack vectors, pinpoint passing and receivers etc. No one else has that.

The owners should put a stop to over inflated ticket prices set a max price. They’re going to drive fans away.
Drove me away!
Caitlin should skip the game when they play there
Or the whole team not show up…..
Or ask for a percentage of the take.
Boycott those games
Yeah she should rest it up they will have enough good players to swap her out for that match. They should advertise CC won't play, so people don't buy the tickets. Let them have a half empty stadium
Caitlin would be hurting her fans by not playing. Lynx fans are not selling the venue out.
What they are doing with the tickets is unethical and should be challenged in court.
With hindsight they should ask themselves who was the real MVP last year?
Reeves should be ashamed of her actions …..
WHY SHE HAS NEVER BEEN ASHAMED OF ANYTHING ELSE SHE HAS DONE, WHY WOULD SHE LET HER CONCIOUS DICTATE HER ACTIONS NOW????

This is a gambit to keep fever fans out of the venue

@joeklase690 I will agree,she is loyal to her team, terrible as a coach,to faced .

don't buy season tickets, only go to the fever games or watch on TV
THE LYNX CAN'T SELL OUT THEIR OWN GAMES!!!! WHY SHOULD THEY BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF THE PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE WHO HATED ON CAITLIN!!!
Boycott the teams that are jacking up the prices for Caitlin Clark tickets and just buy a fever ticket and use the extra money to travel to stay at Indianapolis. It will be cheaper than paying four times the value to watch somebody else price gouge

Anyone paying for this is just validating this model and price. If people don’t pay, then they won’t get away with it
It’s going to price gouge enough that families won’t be able to afford them.
I think it is so wrong.
Dang I was gonna go to a lynx game but not now.
Me too but no way I’m thinking I won’t watch this season
NOT ONLY THE MOST POPULAR BUT THE MOST TALENTED AE WELL COMPARED TO THE GUARDS YOU TOOK TO THE OLYMPICS!!!
Exactly! They literally took an injured Chelsey Grey (who barely played during the season prior to Olympics) over CC
Grow up already they wonder why wnba doesn't succeed
Money grab
WHY MAKE THE FANS PAY FOR THEIR DISBELIEF IN CC!!! AND NOT OFFERING SINGLE TICKETS FOR THE FEVER??? WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING??? I HOPE THEY DON'T SELL ANY OF THESE TICKETS!!! IT ISN'T RIGHT OR FAIR, TO THE FANS!!!
Just greed!
Agree her team won’t draw much so she uses Clark to make $$$$
My TV will work I will not accept greed
Only time I have ever heard of Cheryl Reeves is she’s the cry BABIE coach. That’s going to be her RESUME 😂😂
Sometimes people make mistakes. Sometimes they don't see things clearly right away. The good of the matter is that sometimes they change their attitude and perception and admit they are wrong. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHERYL REEVES HERE SPORTSFANS!! SHE DOESN'T 'GIVE TWO SHITS", ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD THINKS, EVER!!!
2 faced...No class!
Hope ticket prices don't get so high that regular people can't afford to go to the games.
TICKET PACKAGES START AT $850.00 = THE ONLY OPTION TO BUY A FEVER TICKET!! IS THAT HIGH ENOUGH FOR YOU?? AND THE FEVER TICKETS ARE EXTRA!!!!
Will the Fever receive a higher portion of the take as a result of the increased income of the added ticket prices for their tickets?

Toxic coaches = toxic players
She don't give 2 shits and yet she jacked up prices for Fever games and forcing the fans to but season tickets?! Can you say boycot these 2 teams altogether?!
What's up with all the ads. This is ridiculous.
Reminds me of the MLS clubs jacking up prices for Messi games 😂
Who wants to watch the Lynx?
Maybe people just don’t go to their games but always sellout Fever at home games & any other team that is not trying to punish fans for loving to watch Fever! And they go back to making nothing & giving away tickets to make it appear they are selling tickets. Their fans should completely boycott them until THEYDO things right!

Minnesota resident lynx watcher till now. I hate their disgusting coach, renamed “ two shits! “ never going to a lynx game ever!
Coach has nothing to do with ticket pricing……that’s management.
Cheryl Reeve is also Team President and General Manager. She serves a dual role for the organization :)
@@BasketballTopStories Googled....she's only President of Lynx. But I didn't know that.
Not going to watch this anymore if I get to set you off these commercials
So no fever fan can buy a ticket.
Reeves needs to retire.
I love Caitlin Clark and Dave Portnoy. Yet is the Olympic Games the appropriate stage to promote a popular player in lieu of who you believe are the best players?
