Le Gesù disparaît tranquillement...

Heureusement ce n'est qu'une illusion perçue d'un certain angle. Ce monument est un phare pour le quartier des spectacles et une salle mythique qui prend racine dans l'histoire culturelle de Montréal.

il y a 17 minutes, Rocco a dit :

Il y a encore un grand terrain disponible derrière le Gesù. En ce moment c'est un terrain de basket appartenant à la ville de Montréal.

Tu avais déjà écrit que ça serait l'emplacement idéal pour un sliver, est-ce que ce terrain de basket te crée encore des crises d'urticaire ?:silly:

Sort of our version of the West Fourth Street Courts ... just a hell of a lot more quiet.

West Fourth Street Courts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Fourth Street Courts

The West Fourth Street Courts, also known as "The Cage", are a notable public athletic venue for amateur basketball in New York City's Greenwich Village.[1] "The Cage" has become one of the most important tournament sites for the citywide "Streetball" amateur basketball tournament, and is noted for its non-regulation size.

About

The West 4th Street League, founded by a limousine driver named Kenny Graham, has carved its own place in asphalt history. Among the notables who have filled the Cage are Dr. J, Walter Berry, and Jayson Williams. Anthony Mason's Prime Time squad won five titles in the early 1990s. West 4th Street officials estimate that their league attracts more than 100,000 spectators each summer, numbers that Rucker Park rivaled only in its heyday during the late 1960s and early 1970s. West 4th's talent is big, but the court's too small to contain all the flying elbows. To some tourists, this may look like a steel-cage wrestling match. "If you don't like a physical brand of basketball," says A-Train, "stay away from West 4th."[2]

Because it is so small, more emphasis is given to "banging inside," or tough physical play. Usually the sidelines are simply ignored during play. Due to the large number of players who come to play here, competition for playing time is stiff, and losing players rarely get to play twice.

Accessibility

The courts are located over the West Fourth Street – Washington Square subway station (A, B, C, D, E, F, <F>, and M trains) and have an entrance to it adjacent to the courts.

Media

Numerous national commercials have been shot at The Cage. Former NBA players Anthony Mason and Smush Parker are some of the nationally recognized players to learn their tough style of play from The Cage. The court is depicted in NBA Street V3 and is a playable court in the game.
