As I suspected, got a notification from AZ Sports radio that the Suns will play their remaining games at Madhouse on McDowell if the regular season resumes.

That would be interesting. TSRA is a little outdated now and ready for that remodel, but the difference between TSRA and the Madhouse is colossal. That place is a giant dump right now, but it was cool going to a game there.

Apparently they're doing some upgrades before the games commence.

The Mercury announced several updates to “The Madhouse on McDowell” as part of the temporary tenancy: a high-definition videoboard, a scoreboard, upgraded lighting and sound systems, improved seats, plus the Verizon Courtyard event-level fan area which has been a staple at Mercury games since 2014.

This will be a novel idea for the last 6 home games, if it does take place, and would be kind of cool. I hope they fix the roof features, so that the tiles don't fall onto the court during a game.

I love the Coliseum, but God, that place was out of date 30 years ago.

I guess it's okay in a pinch, but it has zero amenities, so what will the season ticket holders think?

Hopefully they’ll think, “Well, this is an improvement over being stuck at home without even live basketball on TV.”

I was thinking about something similar recently.

Soccer clubs usually have corporate sponsors prominent on their shirts (jerseys). If I were owner of a low-mid level club, I'd pursue a sponsorship deal with Corona. As ridiculous as it is, Corona needs some good publicity and sales of my club's shirts would likely gain a sizable bump because of the dopes who'd buy one just for likes on social media.

Bulls @ Suns NBA2K live right now but the guys playing the Suns aren't very good. Leaving an open man constantly and taking bad shots:

Sorry, they moved them up from 24th to 19th.
