What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOkay, the one we teased: the Atlanta Dream will host their WNBA Finals games in a venue that holds only thirty-five hundred people, because the move to State Farm Arena fell through.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThirty-five hundred. That's a big dinner party for a team that just treated itself to one.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSomebody's accountant now has a ticket problem too. Rex has the sports, Chip, and a seat, I assume.
