Knicks Make The Bronx Home for a Day

The scene outside was cold and rainy on Saturday, Oct. 17, but inside the Rose Hill Gym, there was nothing but heat, as the New York Knicks held a free open practice for fans. The hour-long scrimmage was accompanied by performances by the Knicks City Dancers and the Knicks City Kids, as well as a game featuring the New York Rollin' Knicks. The team then stuck around afterward to greet fans and autograph shirts.

Knicks to Practice at Rose Hill

Like all NBA teams, the New York Knicks are currently gearing up for the 2009-2010 season, which for them kicks off October 28 at Madison Square Garden.

But before the team permanently departs its Tarrytown training facility, it will hold a practice session in The Bronx at Fordham's Rose Hill Gym on Saturday, October 17.

The practice, which is free and open to the public, will feature head coach Mike D'Antoni leading the team through drills, as well as performance by the Knicks City Dancers and the Knicks City Kids. Doors are at 11:15 a.m., and for Knicks season ticket holders, there is limited reserved seating.
