Open-air sports fans. The details surrounding the NBA taking one of its exhibition games outside (as previously noted on the Fanhouse) have been finalized. The Phoenix Suns will be hosting the Denver Nuggets October 11 in Indian Wells, CA (just outside of Phoenix), as has been reported by the Arizona Republic. The game will be played at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which begs a few questions: Will talking be allowed during play? What exactly is the surface that they will be playing on: grass, clay, synthetic? My vote is for blacktop. Another concern is how they can be so sure that it won't rain (Weather.com is reporting showers in Indian Wells this Friday).
At any rate, I can't think of two better teams to go at it as god intended them to. Shaq, Nash, A.I., Carmelo, and Amare under the moonlight sounds like some serious fun.

Ha. I wondered why the would come all the way down to Palm Springs for the game. But that will still be a pretty cool event.

If the author of this article knew what he was talking about, he'd know that the game would be played on a wood court that'd be shipped in.
Are you kidding me? Talking? Or is that just a bad joke?
Finally, you stated that Indian Wells was "just outside of Phoenix".

Also, rain?
Are you serious? It's a friggen' desert here.
Honestly, do some research before you write an article like this...
