Fans Lined Up For Hours To Meet The Iowa Basketball Star Caitlin Clark

Caitlin Clark, a standout for the Iowa Hawkeyes, may be evaluated in a variety of ways. She has lucrative endorsement deals with NIL, and ESPN generated record viewership for Iowa’s matchup with LSU in the NCAA women’s national championship game.

But if you really want to know how well-liked Clark is, particularly in Iowa, you could see the evidence on Saturday in Des Moines, before the Iowa Cubs’ Triple-A team played the Columbus Clippers.

The Iowa star might be seen by fans thanks to a “Meet Caitlin Clark” event run by the Cubs. The queue of spectators waiting to see Clark is shown in a video tweeted by KCCI sports director Scott Reister. Some others showed there to queue up as early as 6 a.m. In a word, it was a huge crowd.

The Hawkeyes’ 2022–23 national champion, who was named the undisputed player of the year in women’s college basketball, is now a player who fans must watch whenever she enters the floor.

Although Clark has recently attracted attention on a global scale, her home state is where she is best known.

The evening’s meet-and-greet session was scheduled to run 90 minutes. The pitch would then be thrown by Clark, who would then watch the game from the stands.

That’s not what actually happened. The introduction session lasted much longer than an hour and a half.

Fans were anticipated to flock to see Clark, who attended the game and participated in a meet-and-greet as well as throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, since he is maybe the most well-known athlete in the state.

The large audience present before the game was concrete evidence that Clark’s name still has the power to draw spectators, even though the Cubs had exactly the kind of robust turnout they were hoping for.

Clark should likely get accustomed to being surrounded by fans given her status as one of the best players in both men’s and women’s college basketball. Who knew, though, that the mere mention of her name could make anything ordinary extraordinary?
