The Springfield Sting of the American Basketball Association has officially released its contest schedule for the 2016-17 campaign. The inaugural season for the expansion ABA franchise will feature ten games at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, along with ten away contests.
The season commences with a tip off against New Jersey on November 5 in Springfield. Included in the season schedule are games against New Jersey, New York, Boston, Long Island, and New England (Worcester).

Single game tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children 12 and under, seniors, and college and high school students with a valid ID.
