PHOENIX, AZ — There will be no joyous welcoming party for members of the Phoenix Suns upon arrival, should they clinch the franchise's first NBA title in Milwaukee. That's the edict passed down from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's Twitter account, which said the facility will not allow fans to flock the tarmac, as has become tradition as the team advanced through the NBA's postseason. In the tweet, Sky Harbor personnel encourage Suns fans to celebrate a possible championship anywhere else in the Valley, just not on the grounds of the state's largest airport. "There will NOT be any opportunities at the Airport for fans to see & interact with the @Suns when they arrive in PHX after NBA Finals games," the tweet reads. "Fans should look for organized Suns events where they will have an opportunity to cheer on our home team."

The only other road game, series clinching victory possibility would be for the Suns to capture the series in six games, as Game 6 is the only other contest that will be held in Milwaukee. Suns fans reacted to the airport's decision with a mixed bag of emotions. Here's a smattering of what they had to say on social media: Sky harbor tryna play better defense then the bucks https://t.co/yJHbRh5RJQ— Taylor Moorman (@TMoorman95) July 9, 2021 Sky Harbor vs the Entire state of Arizona pic.twitter.com/rsz6nm6cjX— Mike V3ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪ idk Sunbar probs (@yomikev) July 9, 2021 kk got it, sounds good! /shows up to Sky Harbor anyway like https://t.co/ag0MsvA11L pic.twitter.com/dR71Y7BOht— The Ghost of Neil Walk (@FeddyGovs) July 9, 2021 Sky Harbor security if the Suns close out in Milwaukee pic.twitter.com/sxJGUe5WJj— not mad (@01001100____) July 9, 2021 I love you, Sky Harbor, but uh...good luck with holding off the hordes of Suns fans if we do win it all or bring it back for Game 5 LOL https://t.co/wrJIPpdkaw— NBA FINALS SUNS FAN AYBS (@AybsAsa) July 9, 2021
