The Monarchs' game against the Storm at Arco Arena on June 6 drew 14,824 fans, topping all WNBA home-openers in attendance this season. Last year the team drew 16,225 for its home-opener against the Silver Stars. The defending-champion Shock drew 13,915 for their home-opener against the Sparks, which was up from 13,824 for their home-opener against the now-defunct Houston Comets in '08.
