Interesting article

Tonight, when the Houston Rockets host the Orlando Magic, they will do so in State Farm Arena, a tiny (6,200 seats) venue in Hidalgo, Texas, less than a mile from the US/Mexico Border.

This would seem like a harmless idea, right? Bring the NBA to fans who don't normally get to see games live! The Magic, however, are taking no chances and will avoid the rampant crime and scary foreigners at all costs.

While some Magic players are excited about the prospects of spreading NBA goodwill to fans in nontraditional cities there is some trepidation on this trip - especially considering the crime and murder rates in areas near the U.S.-Mexican border these days. So to play it safe, several of the Magic's players said they will forgo any sightseeing ventures and this will be a stay-in-the-hotel type of trip.
