The Indiana Fever unveiled plans for a new $78 million, 108,000-square-foot training facility, marking a major investment as the franchise continues to build around its young core — including WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.
The organization shared a first look at the three-story performance center ahead of its planned 2027 debut. Located in downtown Indianapolis and connected to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the site will serve as a year-round hub for performance, recovery, lifestyle, and team operations.
In a statement, team president Kelly Krauskopf pointed to the project's broader impact.
"This will set a new standard for women’s sports and continue to position Indianapolis at the center of that momentum,” Krauskopf said.
The move reflects Indiana's current direction. The Indiana Fever enter the 2026 season with just a handful of players under contract. This includes Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Makayla Timpson, while the team navigates a pivotal WNBA free agency period.
Clark took to her Instagram stories to weigh in on the news.
"Find me here," she wrote, reposting the team's announcement.
The guard's response offered a glimpse into how the franchise views the investment. As Clark enters her third WNBA season, she remains central to Indiana's long-term plans. Despite injuries, she helped lead the team's 2025 turnaround that included both a playoff appearance and record-setting attendance.
New WNBA CBA Ups the Stakes for Indiana Fever Practice Facility
The facility also comes at a key moment for the league. A new WNBA CBA and rising salaries have increased expectations around resources and player support, with teams investing more heavily in player-focused infrastructure improvements.
For Indiana, timing matters. As the Fever continue shaping their roster via free agency and retaining homegrown talent like Caitlin Clark, the off-court move adds another layer to the organization's comeback story.
