Several Thoughts

Posted on May 3, 2004 at 10:22:03 AM by Roger

(1) I believe that Miami's lower screen makes for a faster game.
(2) The placement of Dania's scoreboard, making it a "foul" area, is illogical and maddening. A ball hitting the side wall a little in front of or behind the scoreboard is fair, but hitting the scoreboard is foul!
(3) A suggestion: post the dimensions of all canchas (and contracanchas - the "wood") of all of the Florida frontons. I've never seen that info in one place.
(4) In an effort to save money, some of the frontons scrimp on airconditioning. This must affect the play in many ways.
(5) Typical crowd reaction may have effect on play ...or does it? Do Miami's vociferous Latin fans have a different impact on players than, say, the fans in Orlando or Ocala ... or soon to be Hamilton? Or, are the players impervious to anything the crowd does or says - in Spanish or English? (6) And what's with Orlando's back wall anyway?
