As a result of a recommendation by the Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District's Superintendent of Operations, Craig DeWitt, the NBA held its first outdoor exhibition basketball game on October 11, 2008. That stadium facility was built primarily for tennis tournaments and music concerts, and it can hold up to 15,000 fans. The Phoenix Suns lost the game to the [[Denver Nuggets]]. A second annual outdoor exhibition game was played on October 10, 2009, this time the Suns lost to the [[Golden State Warriors]]. On October 9, 2010, the Suns beat the [[Dallas Mavericks]] in the third annual outdoor exhibition.

In 2008 and 2009 pre-seasons, the Suns held training camp in the Auditorium in [[La Quinta, California]], and the [[College of the Desert]] Gymnasium in [[Palm Desert, California]], alongside the [[Portland Trail Blazers]]. But in 2010, the Suns began their training in San Diego and the Trail Blazers in [[Tucson, Arizona]], as well held exhibition games in [[Seattle]], Washington.
