Bakersfield, Calif., November, 1 2006 - The countdown begins for the Bakersfield Jam's inaugural season opening night. The Jam kicks off Operation 24 on Thursday, November 2, 2006 at Kosmos Restaurant & Sports Bar with the NBA Development League Player Draft Party.
To commemorate the historic, inaugural season opening night, the Jam will involve the Bakersfield community and local businesses in the Operation 24 countdown.

The game ball, which was redesigned this season, will be displayed at each of the Operation 24 countdown locations in an engraved acrylic case provided by Kern Trophies.
"The support the Bakersfield community has shown us has been amazing," said Bakersfield Jam Team President/GM, Lara Mae D. Chollette.
