Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament Sells Out for First Time

The historic sellout is attributed to the 'Clark Effect,' with over 109,000 fans expected to attend the five-day event in Minneapolis.

The Big Ten women's basketball tournament has sold out in advance for the first time in its history, with more than 109,000 fans expected to attend.
The sellout is largely attributed to the popularity of Caitlin Clark, who recently set the NCAA women's career scoring record.
The tournament will take place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, a location chosen for its proximity to Iowa, enhancing the 'Clark Effect.'
Ohio State, currently the No. 1 seed, will play in front of a sold-out crowd, with tickets now only available on the secondary market.
The event's popularity also reflects in record-breaking television ratings, with the Iowa-Ohio State game attracting the most viewers for a regular-season women's basketball game since 2010.
