For the first time ever in its history, the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament, scheduled to take place in Minneapolis, has sold out two weeks before the event is set to begin. This unprecedented demand is largely attributed to the phenomenon known as the Caitlin Clark Effect. The tournament, which is expected to draw more than 109,000 fans over its five-day duration at the Target Center, marks a significant milestone for women's college basketball. The sellout of all-session tickets for the 2024 TIAA Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament is a testament to the growing popularity and support for the sport.
