Thread: Nuggets/Suns to play outside game

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3252746

Taking a page out of the NHL's playbook, the NBA is heading to the great outdoors when the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets square off in an October exhibition game, according to a published report.


Indian Wells Tennis Garden will host the Oct. 11 Suns-Nuggets exhibition game.

The matchup will be held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif., on Oct. 11, The Arizona Republic reports. The stadium seats 16,100 fans and annually hosts the Pacific Life Open tennis tournament.

According to the newspaper, the Suns visited the game site last summer and put down a basketball court on the tennis surface. The Suns are also expected to bring a scoreboard and video boards for the game.

An official announcement of the game is expected Tuesday.

Once before, according to the paper, an NBA game has been played outdoors. Phoenix was also part of that event when it faced Milwaukee in Puerto Rico in 1972.

I wonder if they will play rap music during the time outs.

They need to play on a concrete court with chain nets and metal backboards. Now that would be the shit.

They should play it at Rucker Park instead.

That would be pretty sick.

I liked the idea of a NHL game outside and I think this will go very well.

White men can't jump.

I'm sure it will have a gangsta theme.

"Hey everybody, outside game in the NBA!"

I think it's a neat idea, but I'd rather catch a game at Del Mar...or the not so new anymore Hoops park just off 6th past Chambers.


PEACE!!!
