The WNBA Finals will continue Thursday at 12:30 pm ET with Game 6 between the Dream and the Valkyries at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, the 17,000-seat venue announced.
The Hawks agreed to move their game against the Cavaliers to 8:00 p.m. ET the same night. The Hawks previously accommodated Game 4 similarly. All three Atlanta Finals games required hurried schedule adjustments.
Organizers avoided Gateway Center, the 3,500-seat Dream home arena. An alternative considered: Friday Game 6 at State Farm, Tuesday Nov. 3 Game 7 at Chase Center in San Francisco.
If the series extends, a potential Game 7 would take place Halloween at Chase Center, San Francisco. Negotiations involved the WNBA, NBA, Hawks, State Farm Arena, Dream, Valkyries and broadcast partners.
