How do you define an icon? Is it an image that defines a moment? Or a picture that will last forever?
The
Idaho Statesman is asking their readers what icons define Boise as the
city turns 150. Their goal is to identify the top 150 Boise icons. Here is a link to the article.
The
bold question from our end - has BAM Jam become an icon of Boise? This
spring will mark the fourth year of the indoor 3 on 3 tournament while
this summer will be the sixth outdoor tournament, the biggest 3 on 3
tournament in the state. Ten tournaments that bring in a combined 500
teams, 2,000 participants and over 10,000 spectators.
Traditionally speaking, icons are established over decades of time. But
what about an event that embraces other icons and welcomes anyone to be
a part of it? With the Capitol Building, Capitol Park and Old Boise as a
backdrop and room for everyone including men, women and children with
the best to the worst of abilities, that seems to put BAM Jam in the
mix, right?
In
reality, we know BAM Jam is not at the top of most people's list. But
is it top 150 worthy? You can let the Statesman know by sending an email
to Anna Webb at awebb@idahostatesman.com
or by mailing them your thoughts to The Idaho Statesman, 2100 N. Curtis
Road, Boise ID 83706. Just include your name and contact info.
Whether
you believe that BAM Jam is or is not a Boise icon, the tournament will
be returning to the Borah Sports Complex on March 23-24, 2013.
Registration opens soon. This is a great time to start thinking about who you want on your team!

The BAM Jam staff will frequently update the blog with important news and developments as the event approaches. So make sure to check back!
