This is why BG bought a new house in Phoenix:

The Phoenix Suns and Mercury are making seismic moves to the tune of $100-plus million investment from their team owner.

Mat Ishbia plans to build a 123,000 square foot “campus” that’ll feature a business headquarters for the Suns and Mercury and an exclusive practice facility for the WNBA franchise.

“It’s going to be the best of the best,” Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein said.

The facility is scheduled to be completed by next spring. Ishbia confirmed he’s financing the $100-plus million campus that will not require taxpayer’s money.

The campus will be located three blocks from Footprint Center on Lincoln Street within Phoenix’s Warehouse District.

“Being right down the street is great because we can walk there,” CEO Josh Bartelstein said.

“We’ve set a date,” Ishbia said. “This is not like a plan and you see some renderings and you’re like, oh, it’s going to come out in four years. This thing is coming out spring of next year. I think this going to be great.”

The Mercury and Suns have shared the $45-milllion practice facility that was completed going into the 2020-21 season, but Ishbia noted how the Suns and Mercury will no longer have to schedule around each other to practice.

“Especially in the playoffs,” Ishbia said. “The Mercury’s season starts in May. That’s May, June. We’re going to be hopefully playing a lot of (playoff) basketball.”

The Suns are one of the favorites to win an NBA championship this season with their Big 3 of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal leading the way.

“On the flipside, the Mercury didn’t make the playoffs this year,” Ishbia continued. “Don’t plan on that happening again. They’d be in the playoffs right now and we have the Suns practicing. Let’s go dominate. Let’s build the best Mercury, the best Suns. Let’s dominate together.”

Robert Sarver was the Suns team owner when the $45-million practice facility opened before the season the Suns reached the finals.

Ishbia loves it, he but he pointed out how the Suns locker room and the Mercury locker room aren’t the same size. Ishbia bought the Suns and Mercury from Sarver for a record $4 billion.

“It’s not the same environment,” Ishbia said. “That’s not going on with the way we do things. Think about this, this is a great practice facility. It’s one of the best in the league right now that’s going to be just for the Suns. We’re going to do the exact same thing just for the Mercury."

The Mercury practice facility will have 24/7 access for players and coaches, two practice courts with 10 baskets and several amenities: an “expansive” locker room with “state-of-art technology,” a dedicated chef and kitchen, film, fitness and massage rooms with hydrotherapy including hot and cold pools and underwater treadmills, and a player and family lounge.

“We’re going to create the best environment for the Mercury so it can be on the same pedestal just like the Suns, doing great things and investing in them so we can have the best chance to win WNBA championships by opening it up for the Mercury and making it a great place,” Ishbia said.

The Mercury finished with the WNBA’s worst record last season at 9-31, but having their own facility is a step towards getting the three-time league champions back to familiar winning ways.

“It’s going to be curated towards them,” Bartelstein said. “Anything you could ever need as a player, they’re going to have. From the minute they step in, everything is intentional. That’s their home. That’s where they come every single day. We want our players to be here in-season, out of season getting better and there’s going to be no place better. That’s Mat’s commitment. We’re going to go look at everything. Bring the best of the best here and have players who are going to love going to work every single day.”

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
