OT:What ever happened with USA Basketball moving to Glendale

MaryvalesFinest · Post #1 » by **MaryvalesFinest** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:54 am

I know back last November they decided to relocate the USA Basketball HQ to Glendale and build a ton of other things that go along with it but I havent heard or seen anything since. Also I drive past that spot alot and it doesn't look like their building yet so does anyone have any updates on that?

These are some past articles but I can't find any current ones

Sometimes things like this takes a while to get moving. maybe they are waiting to see what happens with Glendale and the yotes. :oops:

Maybe it had something to do with Jerry leaving, not sure if he still lives here or not but he calls the shots for USA b-ball

Yeah if they leave I wonder what the arena will be used for.

My guess is an indoor swap-meet.

Same as all the other swap-meets in the state.

Now if they would add a topless palm reader (like in the movie Mallrats) that has a 3rd nipple, i would soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo go there 2-3 times a month!

Or they could turn it into a club, they have VIP boxes I think.

Looks like they just got all the necessary funding in April which means the facility is probably nowhere near done.
