The WNBA is set to become the first professional sports league to host events at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. Multiple outlets report that portions of the league’s upcoming All-Star festivities will take place at the center, which is dedicated to former President Barack Obama. The plans include a range of weekend programming tied to the WNBA’s All-Star events, with the specific dates reported as beginning during the week of July 24. Coverage also indicates the center has opened to the public recently, and the WNBA is using it as a venue for media-facing and operational elements of the All-Star weekend. Specifically, reports state the league will use the venue for practice and media day, along with other All-Star activities. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some highlighting the “first pro league” milestone and others focusing on particular components of the All-Star schedule—they all describe the same core arrangement: the WNBA will hold multiple All-Star-related events at the Obama Presidential Center during its Chicago weekend.
