OT - Places to play basketball 

Post#1 » by DiscoLives4ever » Sat Feb 23, 2008 5:48 pm

Jazz fan here, but I recently moved to Lake Buena Vista, and I'm looking for some fun places to play. Anybody got any suggestions on where to go or where I can find places?

Also - Howards a freakin' beast, I'll probably start following the Magic more closely, so don't be surprised to see me posting here more often!

It's one thing I don't like about Florida, the fact that all our places to play ball are outside, and most of them broken down and trashy. Roommates of mine from Washington always tell me that they have a couple nice indoor gyms they can go to free of charge and play whenever they want.

All indoor facilities here cost a ton of money, close early, or are exclusive to certain people (students, members, etc).

The only way to play ball around here is to go shoot with the wind and have the sun in your eyes. Didn't bother me that much as a kid cause I was used to it, but now that i'm older it just frustrates me (mostly cause other states provide indoor facilities).

Difference between Utah and Florida = amount of people.

Therefore, there's more ****.

Therefore, there's more wreckless use of the facilities.

Good luck finding anywhere to play anywhere in the state that's reasonably populated.
