NZ Breakers no longer playing at NSEC

They are playing the same number of games at Spark this season as they have in the past two. Only difference is the other four ex-NSEC games will be taken to other parts of the country.

Although NSEC is the spiritual home of the Breakers (close to Atlas Place, near some major basketball high school powerhouses), the writing was on the wall with the new ownership. They're going to need to increase fan attendance to make Spark Arena viable as the full-time venue going forward.

Recently they played four per year still at NSEC. Good riddance to it finally!

I remember how slippery the NSEC used to get. Humid summers in AKL and that darkened court used to turn into an ice rink.

Good to hear NSEC did look pretty bad on TV and conversely Spark Arena is probably the best looking court on TV.

I wrote about this in the "NBL schedule" thread yet no one else seemed to think it was a big deal. So relieved to not have to have that embarrassing venue and court involved with our league.

Also NSEC seem very arrogant, now after all these years of being cheap and not doing a thing about that shocking court, and now finally after 15 years they get knocked back by NBL and FIBA (wow why did it take this long?) they are now going to start renovations? Sorry, nup, you're done - seeya cheapskates!

Good move the other place looked very dated and crap on tv.

Also nice to open a link and find it not behind a paywall.
