The NBA decided not to play any Detroit games in an arena, as was asked by a European reporter during David Stern's news conference.  It is often typical for soccer matches to be played in an empty stadium following fan behavior that was similar to what was witnessed by NBA fans on Friday night.

When Stern was asked by the reporter, he dodged the question, giving no serious answer to the serious question.

He also stated that the terms of beer sales would be readressed.
