The Toyama Grouses are listed as the home team at nine venues for the bj-league's 2009-10 season. The Rizing Fukuoka and Osaka Evessa are both listed as the home team at eight different venues, while the Oita HeatDevils are scheduled to use seven home venues this season.
What's more, the Evessa will play eight straight "home" games between Dec. 19 and Jan. 24. In reality, they'll be playing two games apiece at four different venues. Confusion will set in for more than a few folks around the organization.
And you can forget about an Evessa player gaining an advantage over the opposition when it comes to the comfort level of shooting jumpers at a certain arena, or knowing which baskets are easier to shoot banks shots off of.
