"It's been over twenty months since we have watched NBA G League basketball in our building and we are excited to open the doors to the Fieldhouse so our fans watch some Swarm basketball," Swarm President Steve Swetoha said. "Our fan base continues to support us and this event gives all fans an early glimpse of what our young and exciting team is going to look like this season. We will have plenty of giveaways, new merchandise on sale and a few surprises planned for everyone. Basketball is back and we hope to see everyone at the Fieldhouse."

Once doors open, the team will be practicing on the Swarm court under first-year head coach Jordan Surenkamp. Seating will be available in sections 102 to 105 with staff helping direct fans around the facility. Practice should run for approximately 90 minutes.
