bosrs1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Regular-season games played in "other" cities (other than the NFL game in London) - like how the Packers used to play a few games in Milwaukee, a few NBA teams played sporadically in "regional" cities (Jazz in Vegas, Hawks in New Orleans, etc). That seemed to go away in the '80s.The NHL did that as well in the late 80's to mid 90's I do believe. Like I remember a Flames regular season game in Saskatoon.Did some digging and found Celtics games in Hartford (until 1994) and Sonics in Tacoma (as late as 1991) as well.The Hurricanes have scheduled to play games in Charlotte. Albeit they are preseason games, but games nonetheless...Lots of teams do that during the preseason. The Lakers are playing in San Diego, Ontario, Vegas, Anaheim, and Fresno during the preseason this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Regular-season games played in "other"/"semi-home" cities (other than the NFL game in London) - like how the Packers used to play a few games in Milwaukee, a few NBA teams played sporadically in "regional" cities (Jazz in Vegas, Hawks in New Orleans/Charlotte, etc). That seemed to go away in the '80s.The Bucks played games at the UW Field House and the Brown County Arena (Green Bay). They still occasionally play an exhibition game in Green Bay (now at the Resch Center), but no one cares about the Bucks anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 2. Rainbow Man with his sign that says John 3:16Wasn't he arrested for terrorism or something like that?The guy was Rollen Stewart and yeah he was/is a total whack job.Currently in jail on kidnapping charges and its highly unlikely he'll ever get out because of his mental problems.

CS85 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We rarely see fans rush the field of play anymore. It's obviously not the most safe thing in the world, and I'm sure the players/leagues would prefer this not to happen, but the only medium I see that happening in still is college basketball, and it feels rather forced.

It seats 10,000 for basketball, which isn't that much less than their original home at the MECCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you can't rush the field in baseball when your team wins the pennant or division anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajeet Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Also teams that build championship contenders through the draft instead of buying players. The Thunder and spurs are the only teams I know that were mostly built using the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Also teams that build championship contenders through the draft instead of buying players. The Thunder and spurs are the only teams I know that were mostly built using the draft.Spurs,and to a degree the Thunder, were assisted by the draft lottery. SAS had Robinson with Sean Elliott, Rod Strickland (two years) and Willie Anderson did not get them to the Finals, but they went from a 59 win team to a 20 win team, when Robinson only played six games and got the #1 overall pick to draft Duncan.

njmeadowlanders Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 1. The Freeze, a spray can of ice that was sprayed on baseball players when they got hit by a pitch. It was actually ethyl chloride, and I believe it isn't used anymore because it's possibly a carcinogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Group celebrations in the NFL, people challenging 65-70 HRs in baseball, multi-purpose outdoor stadiums.Sadly, one constant is that the NHL still has Gary Bettman .
