The WNBA Finals. Your Atlanta Dream on the way to the west coast for Game 7.

From the Dream’s new home at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, to watch parties in College Park, fans showed up and showed out for Game 6 win.

“You can really feel the pride in this city! Happening right here, right now!” one fan said.

“Each player has their own love letter,” Carolyn Howell said.

She’s the CEO of the Destination Marketing Organization for College Park.

On Thursday at the Dream’s former digs at The Gateway Center, she unveiled a row of great big cards for each player on the team- personally signed by their adoring fans.

“We want them to see it, dream it, believe it, and ‘win’ it,” Carolyn exclaimed.

“With Angel Reese, New Orleans will have fans. Fans of the Dream,” Samantha said.

All Dream fans know Angel Reese won a ring while playing at LSU, and they hope she’s about to win another with the Dream.
