Well, today I wanted to make a printable schedule for the Pacers’ games. I’m a big fan, and I like having a physical copy to keep track of when they’re playing. It’s just easier for me to glance at than always checking online.
So, first I searched for the “Pacers 2023-24 schedule.” There were a few different websites that came up, but I mainly looked at the official NBA site and some sports news sites like ESPN.
Finding an already-made printable schedule was a bit trickier. Some sites had schedules, but they weren’t really in a format that was easy to print out and use. A few had like, calendar views, but they were kinda cluttered.
I decided the best thing to do was to just make my own. I opened up a spreadsheet program – you know, like Excel or Google Sheets – and started putting the schedule in myself.
I created columns for the date, the opponent, and the time. I also added a column for whether it was a home or away game, ’cause that’s important to know, right?
- Date
- Opponent
- Time
- Home/Away
Typing in all that data took a little while, but it was kinda relaxing in a way. Plus, I got to see all the matchups coming up, which got me even more excited for the season!
After I had all the games in the spreadsheet, I played around with the formatting a bit. I made the headers bold and adjusted the column widths so everything looked nice and neat.
Formatting the Schedule
Then I added some borders to make it look more like a proper schedule. I even highlighted the home games in a different color – you know, to make them stand out.
Finally, I printed it out! It looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. Now I have a handy Pacers schedule that I can hang up and always know when the next game is. It was a bit of work, but definitely worth it for a big fan like me!
