Basketball fans know all-too-well the long road trips caused by events like the Grammys, the Circus, or stock shows that visit the arenas regularly. NBAStuffer.com has visualized the length of home-stays and road trips for all the major teams in an interesting visualization that maps color intensity to duration of stay (at home or on the road).
It clarifies the teams’ schedule sufferings due to the special events at its arenas. Making room for the Grammys for LA teams, Circus for Chicago Bulls (Circus Trip), “Stock Show & Rodeo” for the Spurs (Rodeo Trip) are amongst well known events which force the teams to take extended road trips.
