It doesn't look good for me. Both Indy and PHX are on the road on most weekends.

Only 14 nationally televised games this season...is that down from the previous years?
Also, a note about what happens to teams who get their rings before playing the LA Sparks...
I was at the Home Opener for the Houston Comets in 2001, when they received their Rings for the 2000 Championship...Cooper was even there and the place was alive with excitement and pride for our team.
Back in the opponent's dressing room, I bet ole MCoop had a big screen TV set up so the Sparks could get a really good look at what being the Champion is all about...getting the bling and the banner in the rafters.
Anyone remember who won the WNBA Championship in 2001? Yep, those same LA Sparks. It won't take a lot to motivate that group this year as it is...I am glad it is on TV, because it will be a very, very good game to watch afterward.

I wish some of those were back to back home games. (for Indy)
I'm not liking this schedule much. Sac has it good again though.

I figured Conn would have a big game on Friday and the all star game on Sunday

CT goes to Phoenix end of June. There goes that vacation plan. Dani will still be in school.

Ditch the kid and come out for the game. That one's on my list of games that I can make it to.

I hate to break up everyone's fantasy of drunken schedulers, but I suspect that those games don't actually have times yet. Or they're noon games. Okay, that last one not so likely.

The times for Phoenix seem as if they weren't done by an alcohol/drug influenced individual. The times are actually sane.

Giving the schedule a quick glance, it appears that all of PHX away games are at noon or 12:30.
Could it be the league is using Diana to increase attendance for day games and kid camps?
PHX starts with many road games, yet few back to backs and no prolonged road stretch...did the circus move to Glendale?
Visitors to PHX: July and August could be good bets.
dtsnms, the kid can miss some school...make it a long weekend, or stay a week and bookend it with a road trip to LA, flying back before the Fourth.
Travelling is educational...school counts only in the earliest formative years, and h.s. and college...heck my best memories at that age were riding a Schwinn Sting Ray, kick-back, two-speed bike with a banana seat. If BXM bikes had arrived just a year or two earlier, Mt Dew or someone similar might be paying my bills.

Goodie, I'll have time to work on a few surprises with the babies. I already know what I'm going to do with the LL and Lo-Jack babies. I finished the model for the court. I got two, a playground and a alley. I still got to do an arena, that's a lttle more detailed_________________ (¯`v´¯

After refreshing the link, the game times have changed...so disregard any previous speculation.
Keegan has some decent choices of music...gotta love Alicia Keys, and Amy Lee (sp?) of Evanescense has an unbelievable voice.

The "Anywhere but Home" CD by Evanescence is great.
I just noticed something. The Connecticut Sun have to play Los Angeles, Seattle, Sacramento, and Phoenix all on the road in a span of 6 days. Damn.
