PBA should play more out-of-town games after San Miguel-Converge tiff in Quezon, say fans

The PBA played its first out-of-town game in three years and fans are clamoring for more.

Expectators in Tiaong, Quezon were given a treat on Saturday night as the Converge FiberXers went toe-to-toe against powerhouse San Miguel Beermen. The more experienced squad won 105-96.

PBA supporters believe more games outside Metro Manila will help rejuvenate the league.

"Maybe next time, magkaroon pa ng PBA games sa ibang provinces. Ok ang turnout ng crowd ngayon sa Tiaong, Quezon. Dayo kayo sa Calamba din," X (formerly Twitter) user @JiggyJonel suggested.

Another user, @jayvee16_98 share the same sentiment.

"PBA should play more out of town games. Nakakapuno sila ng venue kahit hindi (Barangay Ginebra San Miguel) may laro."

The energy from the crowd of the away games also helps the players. Case in point is CJ Perez who dazzled for 24 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists as the San Miguel Beermen improved to a 2-1 card.

The league is set to play more out-of-town games. On December 9, the Phoenix Super LPG Fuelmasters will take on crowd favorite Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.
