Fan Feedback
During the updates, reader David Bolam shared his thoughts on the venue and timing while critiquing the local area. He expressed approval of the stadium and tipoff time but voiced dissatisfaction with the surrounding neighborhood designation.
At least this game is being played in a decent stadium at a reasonable hour. The neighborhood’s name, though, is the height of plastic, aspirational corporatism. I vote for “The Railyard”.
The reporting outlet responded to the reader’s suggestion, noting that the proposed name fits the atmosphere of a decisive Game 7 and would be forwarded to local municipal authorities.
