An already bright future for the Indiana Fever got brighter Thursday.

That is because they announced plans for a new $78 million exclusive sports performance center that will be built in downtown Indianapolis. The plan is to begin construction on the three-story, 108,000-square-foot structure in August of this year and open it before the 2027 WNBA campaign:

Indiana's announcement explained "the center and amenities will be designed to address the specific needs of female athletes competing at the highest level, including performance and conditioning, recovery and rehabilitation, mental health and wellness, and lifestyle support."

That means it will include two regulation-sized courts, strength and conditioning equipment, a yoga area, a full-service kitchen, a private outdoor courtyard, a hair and nail salon, childcare space and even a podcast production studio.

What's more, it will feature spa-like amenities such as massage, float tanks, hydrotherapy pools, infrared light therapy, a sauna and more.

This development comes with the Fever under more of a spotlight than ever before after Caitlin Clark became the face of the franchise.

The all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer for men or women was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft and wasted no time announcing her presence in the league as the Rookie of the Year.

She also helped lead the Fever to the postseason for the first time since the 2016 campaign while setting the WNBA's all-time single-season assist record.

As if the on-court performances weren't enough, Clark helped drive more attention and popularity to the league as a whole. According to the Sports Business Journal, she appeared in 19 of the record 22 regular-season games that drew more than one million viewers.

Clark only figures to improve as she becomes more experienced in the WNBA, and she and her teammates will soon have a new performance center to help them in their pursuit of championships.
