ATLANTA (AP) -The Atlanta Dream will be forced out of their home arena for the first round of the WNBA playoffs because of ``Sesame Street.'' The Dream is set to play their first home playoff game Friday night against Detroit at Philips Arena. But ``Sesame Street Live'' already had booked shows for next weekend at the downtown arena, so the Dream will play at Gwinnett Arena, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. If a decisive third game is needed, it also would be held at the suburban arena on Sunday. The series opens Wednesday at Detroit. The Dream bounced back from a 4-30 inaugural season to claim the second seed in the Eastern Conference this season.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
