Full statement from Indiana GM Amber Cox, saying "attacks on our fan base have no basis in reality." "I really wanted to just thank our Fever fan base for all the support that they continue to give us, not only at home, but on the road. We have the best fans in the league, an amazing mix of diehards who have been with us from the start, and fans who are newer to the league. People from all walks of life. Everyone is welcome here, and they have helped provide an incredible home court advantage here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, as well as on the road. We say every game is a home game, and that's truly the case. People follow us. They pay hard-earned dollars to be at our games, whether we are here or we are on the road. Our fans also delivered 14 of the top 15 broadcasts this year, including some of the largest audiences the WNBA has ever had. The only top-drawing broadcast that didn't include the Fever was the WNBA All-Star Game, and that had three Fever All-Star starters." "The attacks on our fan base have no basis in reality and they need to stop, especially with members of the media. ... I'm talking about media who have never been to a game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Every organization in the league, every organization throughout professional sports, all the way down to youth rec leagues, have to deal with occasional bad behavior from spectators. And anyone who crosses the line in an arena or online needs to be held accountable. Like I want to be really clear about that. There is a line, and people need to be held accountable if they cross it." "But here's the fact: we did not have one fan pointed out by a player who violated the WNBA code of conduct this season. Not one fan was removed from a game. We take this really seriously, and that is backed up by our security stats and the lived experiences of countless fans who we host at every game. We have fans from 57 countries and all 50 states attend home games and we drive global audience not only for the Fever but for the WNBA. And more than 35% of our fans are coming from outside of Indiana every game. "Our fans love this team. They're going to cheer, they're going to boo, and sometimes they might point. It's a home court advantage for a reason, and it's the same for the Pacers. And all of that is within the code of conduct. Fever games have always been about inclusivity. Sports are the ultimate unifier, and we want everyone to be a fan of the Fever and a fan of this league. Go Fever! Thank you."
