Bevy's Tavern hosted a watch party for the game. Food specials and drinks were offered to customers all night long. Owner Nick Fogle said the bar plans to host a watch party for every one of the Fever's games.
"It's the customer base that's been asking for it," Fogle said. "They love watching sports here and they wanted another reason just to come in and support the Indiana Fever."

Fogle said women's sports have never been a driver for bars. That was before Clark stepped on the court four years ago. Fogle said following the Fever just makes sense.
"It's just a natural transition to follow her in the WNBA and follow the Fever," he said.
The Indiana Fever play their first home game of the season on Thursday against the New York Liberty.
