NBA game played outside: good or bad idea?

In light of seeing these NHL games played in outdoor stadiums, I began to wonder why doesn't the NBA try this sometime. That's an event I would pay to watch. Is this a stupid idea? Has it been done before that I never heard about.

Stupid idea.

Not NBA, but the NCAA has played a couple of games on aircraft carriers.
However, the court is so small, like NHL, everyone would be so far from the action.

Only would be sort of cool if it was played at Rucker Park or something like that. Regulation goals and court would just be stupid.

The players wouldn't go for it. Stats are a part of how they get paid. A reason why guards don't like taking 3/4 quarter length shots.

The lakers played someone in a tennis stadium

I don't like the idea, but I would like some NBA teams to play the occasional neutral site game like they do during the preseason to help grow the brand.

What about the wind? Players and coaches wouldn't like it

Need to play in the snow and ice like real men.

I thought it would be pretty cool to have it once a year in the NBA. Put it at the Artur Ashe Stadium in New York City. It has around 22,000 seats. Would be perfect.

Only game I have watched was the Phoenix Suns summer leagues games outdoors

Liberty vs. Fever, July 1998, Arthur Ashe Stadium, Queens. LINK
Problem is you'd have to wait until late in the season to do this since NBA is a winter game. I could see a game on Saint Patrick's Day weekend in Oakland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando, or Miami. The weather in these cities in March is always warm and mild.

The summer tourneys at Rucker park are better than any nba All star game

Outdoor stadium? Not interested. Street court? I'd watch. One of those street courts in New York with the tall green chain link fence to keep the crowd off the court, street ball!

Wind doesn't frick up a slap shot. It certainly will frick up a 3 pointer.
