The MLB just had a 'Field of Dreams' game; The NBA should take notice

[Im Still Ballin]

The NBA should consider doing a thematic regular season game in a unique location. Perhaps outside, in a custom-built, Rucker Park style. Wouldn't that be awesome?



MLB at Field of Dreams was a regular season Major League Baseball (MLB) game played on August 12, 2021. The game was played at Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa between the Chicago White Sox (designated as the home team) and the New York Yankees. This was the first MLB game played in the state of Iowa.[2] The game was televised on Fox,[3] and was won by the White Sox, 9–8.

Here are a couple of interesting basketball games:

- An NBA preseason game played outdoors
- An NCAA Division 1 game played on an air carrier in the ocean

NBA needs some legendary street ball games

A throwback game with no 3 point would be interesting.

Or a game where there's a line for 4pt shooting.

no one watches baseball

It was nice to see. A field of dreams now would be a 90's type game where you could get hurt in the game.

Absolutely! I mean, think about the money that this event could generate! MLB has sold tickets for almost 4000 dollars (https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-field-of-dreams-2021-tickets-how-much-do-they-cost-and-how-to-buy-them-20210811-0007.html)

The NBA's got its eye on the ball.



[Front Office Sports] The NBA is exploring an outdoor 'Field of Dreams' style game, per NBA VP of Basketball Strategy & Analytics Evan Wasch. "We’ve explored it, and we’ll continue to talk about it. The FOD game was incredibly successful. No surprise, it's sparked discussions." (h/t @TheCrossover)
