Suns to play first outdoor game in modern NBA history.

[sheed]

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets will play the first outdoor game in more than 35 years during the 2008-09 preseason.

The exhibition game on Oct. 11 at the 16,000-seat Indian Wells Tennis Garden will be televised by TNT.

The game follows the NHL's successful outdoor game on New Year's Day in Buffalo, N.Y.

[playmaker7]

Yea I remember them talking bout this earlier when it was in the works. I didnt think it'd be so soon though. Cant wait til it happens though

 

[sheed]

Yeah, I want to see how it will all work out, and if its a fluke or not.

 

[kdogg]

yea I'll definetly watch this

 

[Mexi]

This is going to be awesome when it goes down. I will not miss it for the world if this happens.

 

[corey]

I hope its not windy. hahahaha. But wait.... About the fans, how will they be able to go to the game? It's not like a court has stands that hold more than 15k or more than 100 people.

 

[bulls12]

I don't think they will allow fans in. But I'm not completely sure, I am just guessing.

 

[corey]

They shouldn't. Just cameramen and such. Like what if theres this crazy guy who brought a gun and shot Nash?

 

[.GR]

He could do that at a regular game.

Security measures would be the same.

 

[corey]

I hope so. Hmmm. I can't wait to watch it. I just hope something bad happens. I would never want to see a player have heart failure or something happen to Nene's last teste...

The stadium hold 16K people. Here it is:

I think it'd be a lot cooler if they actually played on a court that's in a park or something than playing inside of a stadium

 

[trapstar23]

i would laugh if it rains.

 

[Mr.Dj5]

hmm.. what if its like 110 degrees... and what if someone gets shot..

 

[VC15]

and what if someone gets shot..

A player can get shot at a regular game...

 

[.GR]

Itd be funny if it got rained out or something. First time ever. lol
