  • The Minnesota Lynx have the biggest arena in the WNBA.
  • The Atlanta Dream have the smallest arena in the WNBA.

As more teams join the WNBA, it becomes even more important to have top-notch facilities.

For example, the Golden State Valkyries will start in a good place as the leagueโ€™s newest expansion team in 2025. The Valkyries will play their home games in Chase Center (home of the Golden State Warriors during the NBA season), which is one of the biggest arenas in the league in terms of stadium capacity.

The Minnesota Lynx have the largest arena in the league, with Target Center (home of the Minnesota Timberwolves during the NBA season) having a stadium capacity of 20,000.
