Over the past three days, Indianapolis was taken over by the league and its legions of new fans. The players, now global superstars, were mobbed everywhere they went. Downtown, the JW Marriott was covered in a giant Caitlin Clark banner that covered 30 of the hotel's 34 stories and took nine days to install, per Scott Agness .

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier chose teams for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, July 19 in Indianapolis.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game drew several big stars to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, including Indianapolis’ own Tyrese Haliburton. As a proud supporter of the Indiana Fever, the banged-up Indiana Pacers guard made a point to take his usual seat in his suite for the game.

Indianapolis drew more than 70,000 people to the city for the WNBA All-Star Game and the Indiana Black Expo, resulting in a nearly $10 million economic impact.

The players' union and the league will meet in-person for the second time since starting negotiations for the collective bargaining agreement, a process that has been contentious so far.

"All the buildings decorated with all the players and not just the ads, it's just, like, that's so cool," one visitor said.

Caitlin Clark was spotted enjoying a night out in Indianapolis with her fellow WNBA stars on Thursday, July 17, after she dropped out of the WNBA All-Star Game with a groin injury.

The now-viral shirt, which has a Women's National Basketball Player's Association logo underneath the text for the players' union, is officially available through a link on the WNBAPA's Instagram.
