Dayton's Outdoor Game Tradition | Dayton Flyers Basketball News

In 1972, Dayton Flyers battled frostbite concerns in a bone-chilling Miami outdoor game, barely winning 80-77 — a win that baffled their coach. Fast forward to today, and Dayton’s gearing up for another outdoor showdown, this time against Xavier at a Mason tennis center on October 7th, part of the CareSource Invitational. With weather as the wildcard, the game could move indoors to UD Arena if needed.

Organizers are seasoned pros, meticulously planning for sun angles and weather, while navigating the tricky logistics of scheduling top Ohio programs — all while juggling conference commitments and fierce rivalries.
