Lucas Oil Stadium just got a two-sport crossover on night four of the 2024 U.S. Olympic trials, as the Indiana Fever were in attendance. The Fever, Indianapolis’s WNBA team, were honored before the finals session started in honor of USA Swimming’s Women in Sports night.
USA Swimming also sponsored a sunglasses and koozie (a type of cup insulator) giveaway courtesy of the Fever and Indiana Pacers, given out to the first 5,000 fans inside the stadium Tuesday night.

The entire Fever team was present including Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft and one of the most popular athletes in America currently; as well as Aliyah Boston, the 2023 WNBA No. 1 pick and reigning WNBA rookie of the year. Other Fever players present included Grace Berger, Nalyssa Smith, Erica Wheeler, Victoria Saxton, Kristy Wallace, Temi Fagbenle, Katie Lou Samuelson, Lexie Hull, Kelsey Mitchell and Celeste Taylor. Each member of the team got their name announced on the loudspeaker, in addition to head coach Christie Sides.
In addition, Clark took a photo with five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Missy Franklin.
During the duration of the Olympic trials, which span from June 15 to 23, the Fever play two home games. On Sunday, they defeated the Chicago Sky 91-83, and are set to play the Washington Mystics on Wednesday night.
Clark’s presence on the Fever have made them a large draw in the city of Indianapolis this season. They are averaging 16,683 fans per game inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which is the most for a WNBA team this year. The Fever’s most recent match against the Sky averaged 2.25 million views on CBS — the most for a WNBA game in 23 years.
