NBA Arenas

[Lake Louise]

Anything related to experiences you've had attending games, whether the memories are good or bad. Along with any other arenas you'd like to visit, if that applies. Whatever that relates to this you can think of.

Well, been to the Palace to watch the Pistons I'd say 10 times.
They've lost about 7.

Staples was pretty cool. Wouldn't say a once in a lifetime experience for me since im planning on visiting LA again a few more times.

I've built the court at my job for Globetrotter games but the Alerus Center hasn't hosted an NBA Preseason game in a long time. I hope that changes, soon.

Went to the Charlotte coliseum to watch the Hornets play once. I was like 9, so I don't remember it much, but I did get a foam finger and a mini basketball, which I remember quite well.

The arena no longer exists tho.

I've been to MSG in 2006 to watch a WNBA game. The Seattle Storm beat the NY Liberty by about 30.
 
Safe to say I got the full blast of NBA atmosphere that day.

I went to a clippers/jazz game when i was like 8.

my notable games are pistons lakers, and pistons nets with kidd and vc.

vince got ejected and kobe played like kobe. we won both games. ive been to other but nothing too special.

i make sure to get middle bowl seats on the side of the court. one game we moved down behind the bench after seeing the old people leave before the game started.

 

[Mexi]

You guys are lucky you have affordable games

Though i guess if i wsnt cheap i could go
I spent $80 on dodger playoffs

 

[Pugz]

i paid $240 for the first row in the middle bowl(right after the floor seats). i wouldnt call that cheap for two seats. but we have dropped the prices a lot since we started to be ass.

Sounds like I'm one of the few (maybe the only) that regularly goes to games. I'm a half season ticket holder for the Pels (21 games) but I've been to games I didn't have tickets too. I've been to 18 games so far this year, I went to 25 last year. Seasons prior to that I'd probably average 12-16 games.

The game when we beat Portland 110-108 this season was really memorable. I was at the game when Chris Paul hit the buzzer beater to beat Indiana on MLK day. I was at the game when we beat Dallas to advance to the next round of the playoffs in 07. I can remember a game years and years ago when Jamal Mashburn hit a turnaround jumper from the top of the key to beat the Bulls.

how far do you live from the arena?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

For a Pels game it takes me about 25 minutes.

For a Pels game it takes me about 25 minutes.

if i lived that close id go to more. depending on weather and traffic it could take me up to an hour to get to the palace. not like its that long but leaving always takes longer and again, that drive sucks a bit.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Doesn't Sal live farther than that? I knew you were about an hour, isn't Sal two?

 

[Pugz]

Doesn't Sal live farther than that? I knew you were about an hour, isn't Sal two?

hes either right around the same or a little closer. i think he lives west of me.

 

[Rios15]

Haven't been to any games this year but I've seen Raptors-Pacers last year and I've seen Raptors-Heat in their first year; I've also seen VC with the Nets and i went to a game as a kid when we had VC but he was injured that game lol. I've seen Raptors-Pistons too but that was pretty boring haha

 

[youngguru]

I used to go to Nets games all the time when they were dirt cheap. Not gonna pay a dumb amount for shitty seats at Barclays unless it's the playoffs tbh
