Hmm. We have five instances of back-to-back games in different cities. The early part of the 2010 schedule will be tough: out of our first 13 games, nine of them are on the road. Then we get a six-game home stand from June 23 - July 7th which balances that out.

The schedule is 34 games long. The Dream play two games against every team in the Western Conference. This leaves 22 teams to be played against Eastern Conference teams. This gives us four games against each of our five opponents, leaving just two "spare games". The opponents that get extra games are Indiana and Chicago. The extra Chicago game is a home game and the extra Indiana game is an away game, balancing out our schedule.

First game against Tulsa is at home on June 23rd. We open on the road against San Antonio on May 15th and at home against Indiana on May 16th. I'm already looking forward to it.

I like the six consecutive home games at the end of June/beginning of July... looks like a great time for a trip from Kansas!
