Dream ownership group voices frustration in open letter over WNBA Finals venue concerns

The logistics surrounding the WNBA Finals have drawn almost as much attention as the compelling, hard-fought action on the court.

After negotiations reportedly described as "tense," the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries learned they would play Game 6 at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta on Thursday. The game will tip off at 12:30 p.m. ET, making it a matinee on the East Coast and a breakfast-time start on the West Coast.

Several Atlanta players downplayed the early start time, instead focusing on the task ahead.
