Can #Indianapolis put up a mural that's not sports related? 🙄
It's almost time for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever to take over Gainbridge Fieldhouse! A mural of the #Fever schedule is going up now along South Pennsylvania Street.
The Fever will start the regular season at home against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on May 17.
