3. Do you like that the Suns are having their training camp ending scrimmage at the Coliseum a.k.a. the “Madhouse on McDowell”?

Gerald Bouguet:  Love it. Despite never winning a championship, the Suns have a long and proud history. Anything reminding people of the “good ol’ days” is a good idea at this point.

Gavin Schall:  I certainly enjoyed my trip up to Flagstaff last year, but though I don’t have any personal connection to it, it’s going to be pretty cool to see a piece of Suns history, which housed one of the greatest games ever played.

Scott Chasen:  I think that it’ll be pretty cool. Obviously this all came about because of a scheduling conflict, but I think it’s always neat when a team shouts out its roots or things from the past in general. I just hope they bring back the old center court logo and wear throwback jerseys. I think the sunburst jerseys were actually a couple of years after the Suns moved away from the Madhouse, but I’d be fine with using them anyway because they’re absolutely amazing.

Spencer Hann:  Love it. It seems this year’s Suns are really reaching for a throwback type vibe all throughout the organization, seemingly doing everything they can to erase the memories of the last several years. The “Madhouse on McDowell” scrimmage is a great start.

Troy Tauscher:  I mean…sure. The Madhouse was before my time and there’s no obvious reason to do it, but why not? I think it’s interesting that they are heavily playing up the franchise history angle this year.
