[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2011481, member: 746137"] The NBA plays regular season games in Paris and Mexico City and the NHL's outdoor series has been wildly successful. I think its definitely worth responding to. But the response, as you note, has to be that the inability to rely on the weather makes it a bad idea. Those college basketball aircraft carrier games are in legendarily pleasant and placid San Diego. But there's going to be more and more of this gimmick stuff, I think the idea that the leagues will turn their nose up to it is dead wrong, they're searching for revenue growth and "special events" wherever they can.
