Jazz to Play in Mexico City December 15th

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I see it being attached to a road game and I see it being a road game for the Jazz. I don't think the NBA would allow a mid-high playoff seed lose a home game, $$$.

Also, IIRC Orlando is about 400 miles closer to Mexico City as well.

Sure they would lmao. The NBA doesnt care about a team losing a home game. I'm sure there is some sort of worthwhile financial compensation for the teams.

Looks like it'll be a roadie. I'm cool with that then.



Edit: Confirmed by Eric Woodyard.

Note to @Jason -- you should add Eric Woodyard to the Jazzfanz twitter feed if you haven't yet. Looks like he's the new Jazz beat writer from Deseret News.

edit: nevermind, looks like he's already there.

He's been there all year.

That was their announcement lol? That’s funny, they just made their fan base mad. I saw a few fans from there mad they won’t get to see Donovan, and some from Mexico excited to watch Donovan. So nice to have such a worldwide superstar.

Probably need to add Eric Walden though.

When will Nike unveil the "Los Jazz" uniforms?

Donovan should tweet that he's going to Mexico to build bridges, not walls. That would really get a reaction from Senor Trump.

Wouldn't it be El Jazz?

Donovan has some power though. Out of country game....AND a Christmas Day game? We’re moving on up.

Bummer, I'm currently in Ecuador for work and moving to Mexico City around March/April. Haven't seen the Jazz in person in about 10 years. Couldn't watch them when I was living in Boston either. Can't wait to see them again.

I agree about shortening the schedule, but this cuts down on travel distance for the Jazz.

Mexico City is closer to SLC than Orlando. It's also pretty easy to attach this game to a road trip off of a Texas game. This is hardly a travel burden game.

Good point. I was thinking more of having the Jazz play in Australia or Europe. (Or China, but I wouldn't be as interested in them going there).
