Phoenix Suns 5-on-5: Prepping For Media Day
By Gavin Schall
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.
Next: No. 4
