ANGEL Reese has issued a demand to her Atlanta Dream fanbase as they are set to host the WNBA Finals in a different arena.
The Dream superstar played a huge part in dragging her team back into the series in Game 2 after losing the opener to the Valkyries.
Reese, 24, recorded a team-leading 30 points, 16 rebounds, and three assists in their incredible 79-65 road win.
With the opening two games at the Chase Center in San Francisco over, it is time for the WNBA Finals series to head to Atlanta.
And Reese had a big ask of their fans ahead of Game 3, which will be played at the State Farm Arena, home of the NBA’s Hawks.
After initial confusion over the location of the Dream’s games, it was confirmed late on that State Farm would be the host.
It had hosted all of the Dream’s playoff games so far, but there was concern that clashes would prevent them from playing there.
The Dream’s regular home of Gateway Center Arena in College Park only holds 3,500 spectators, an underwhelming number for a Finals series.
Meanwhile, State Farm Arena holds more than 17,000 fans, and Reese has now issued a demand for Dream fans to pack it out Wednesday night.
“Atlanta, y’all better pull up and pop out. I’m looking forward to it,” the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year said after her Game 2 heroics.

The action kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on October 21, the first of the two games the Dream will definitely host in the Finals.
They will be hoping that Reese can pull out some of the magic she put on display the other night as she made WNBA history.
She became the first Dream player to score more than 25 points and have ten rebounds in a WNBA Finals game.
Reese also entered into a uniquely elite club as only the third player to record at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a WNBA Finals game.
The WNBA star joins Jonquel Jones in 2019 and Breanna Stewart in 2020 in the history books in that regard.
To cap off all the accolades, she became the youngest player in WNBA history to notch that many points and rebounds in a postseason game.
