Suns to Play Outdoors

Suns planning to play preseason game outdoors - NBA - MSNBC.com

I wonder if they know that the average high temperature in September in Indian Wells is 102?

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

Maybe they're going to play at night, a-la Rucker Park style. Now that would be cool, no big arena, a real live play-ground style NBA preseason game, with about 1000 fans outside with chain link nets.

The game will be played at night. In Oct when pre-season games are played the average temperate at night is in the mid seventies not 102.

Wonder who they will play?? If it is the Pistons I am there,...heck if it is a weekend, I will probably go just to be a part of this event....I live about 90 miles from there.

By the way Buddha. LA Piston, Robert Micheal and whomever else is in the hood, I just snagged two Clipper/Piston tickets at Staples for me and the missus from Stubhub for $46 each and they are 5 rows off the floor in sect 117

They have about 4 others left for $44 each in section 107, row 7 behind the hoop and two others for $48 each in sect 106, row M which is literally on the floor behind the hoop. Grab them at stubhub.com before some else does if you want to Flip twitch up close and personal.

Last time I went to a Clippers-Pistons game I wound in the operating room at the hospital after the game.

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

It's a little ironic that the "Suns" find it too hot to play outside during the day.

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

It will be interesting to see how this is marketed. The NBA has been going all out with gimmicks the last couple of years.

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

"Watch Shawn Marion whine that the misting fan is aimed at White Jesus and Black Jesus instead of him! It's high entertainment! Can't see it anywhere else! Our camera operators will gratuitously pan across women's breasts! No hotter objectification this side of the Internets!

Also the Phoenix Suns, who made basketball worth watching again!! (although we're contractually obligated to make a crack about how boring and meaningless NBA preseason, regular season, and early-round playoff games are)"

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

I wonder if the players will be allowed to wear sunglasses.

Re: Suns to Play Outdoors

Its now official, mark that date of 10/11 Suns vs Nuggets in Indian wells, CA (Palms Springs.)

For those in SoCal let's plan a tailgater and then go inside the stadium with our Piston gear on and chant DEETROIT Basketballlll...especially since we will be the defending champs???

Suns to host outdoor game

Quote:
The game will be played at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which has the look of a roof-less NBA arena because it is only 8 years old and boasts loge seating and 44 suites. It is a 16,100-seat stadium that is the Pacific Life Open home
