Pelicans to Host Preseason Game at Legacy Arena
Matchup Against Atlanta Hawks Set for October 14
New Orleans to Return to Home of G League Affiliate Birmingham Squadron
The New Orleans Pelicans announced on June 21, 2022, that they will host a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, October 14, at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. The game will tip off at 7:00 PM CDT.
This will be the second consecutive preseason game that the Pelicans will play at Legacy Arena, home to their NBA G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. Last season, the Pelicans defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in front of a sellout crowd.
"We're excited to return to Birmingham for another preseason game," said Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin. "We had a great experience there last year, and we know our fans in Alabama will be excited to see our team in action."
Legacy Arena is currently undergoing a $123 million renovation project that is expected to be completed by December 2021. The project includes new seating, a new scoreboard, and a new concourse.
"We're thrilled to host the Pelicans for another preseason game," said Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin. "This is a great opportunity for our city to showcase our new arena and our love for basketball."
