The Hornets also used the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge and a stadium in Norman Oklahoma this year as home stadiums. Should these be listed in addition to the others?

Maybe it's just me, but doesn't anyone here find this whole NO/OK Hornets thing to be a TAD bit awkward? Dknights411 14:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Reminds me of the Kansas City/Omaha Kings back in the 80s... According to Stern, Oklahoma City was apparently chosen to be New Orleans' temporary base because of the two cities' shared experience of "recovering from tragedy".
• I made a note that some media outlets still refer to them as the New Orleans Hornets. Apparently ESPN and the AP find the whole NO/OK thing awkward too. --Tubutler 16:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Troy Bell

User 68.91.13.38 has changed Contributions Troy Bell from the Hornets to the Rockets. It looks wrong but I can't find the necessary information at the NBA, Rockets or Hornets site. This user has made vandalistic edits to Tracy McGrady but I'm not sure about Bell. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] To be forgotten section (neutrality)

Hah hah, just been reading through the acerbic "To be forgotten" section, and while as a fan of the Hornets I agree with what some of the disgruntled fan has wrote about Baron Davis et. al, it's hardly NPOV, and some of it is quite unverifiable. As such it is out of the scope of Wikipedia and needs to be gotten rid of or rewrote.--Knucmo2 20:44, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the section, but I incorporated some of the facts into the team history, as the opinionated piece did have some important facts in it. I also added a recent player movements section, to distinguish it from what happened due to Katrina. Zorgon 21:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the attendance bits were certainly pertinent.--Knucmo2 22:16, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First sports event since the hurricane?

Or first professional sports event in New Orleans since the Hurricane (in reference to the three games in March). Is not Tulane playing games on campus now? I could be wrong. Could someone with more insight look into this and make the change.... Bsd987 02:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No current roster

What happened to the current roster table for the Hornets? They're my favourite team and I want to know who's on it!

[edit] "Big Four" edit

i know this goes under another article, but i didn't know someone considered Arena Football a major "Big Four" league Chalmation 01:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
