Being on the floor you really only see what's right in front of you. FYI, I hope you don't mind foul language because it flows freely down there.

When I was a kid my Dad got tickets right behind the visiting team's bench at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks-Hawks game - and this was in the 80's before they drowned out every game with artificial noise.

Kevin Loughery was the coach of The Hawks - I grew up in NYC and never heard cursing like that in my life until my wife gave birth 20 years later.

I'm jelly as my kids would say. I never been to an event let alone a bball game at MSG. That's the Mecca. It's on my sports bucket list

For the record in a fan of the game of bball before anyteam. Here teams home arenas I been too in my life
Bulls. Over 20
Bucks
Celtics twice
Orlando
Spurs

Jazz 2 times
Kansas City Kings I don't remember I was 4
Summerleague Vegas 4 times


Baseball I been to all these places multiple times
Busch Stadium
Wrigley Field
Comisky Park.
Coors Park
Arlington Stadium I saw Nolan Ryan pitch and he had a no bitter going into the 8th. Loudest I'd ever hear at any sports event. The place was shaking. He gave up a single with 2 outs in 8th and one hit in 9th

Football
I only been to 2 NFL games and that was Chicago versus Saint Louis in Soldier Field in the 80s and a Denver Broncos game a couple years ago with my ex against Washington.

College I have been too
Memorial Stadium Illini
Assembly Hall Illini
Assembly Hall IU
Moby arena CSU
Hughes Stadium CSU
Coors even center CU
Folsom Field CU
Smith Spectrum USU. I know coach Morrill. Great man he is and underrated bball coach.
The Pit New Mexico
And many others but I have seen some great games over the years, I'm blessed.I suggest any sports fan, no matter what team you root for to branch out and make a sports bucket list. I love talking to other hoops fans of other teams. You can learn about the history of a team good that way. It's about love of the game first and foremost. I suggest any college bball fan go to Vegas for March madness first 4 days. It's great . I will be there this year and down to buy any of us a beer or a bowl

Steve Alford when he was coaching at New Mexico I was 3 rows back and I kept calling him former boy wonder.He was mad AF. My son's mom tells me it looks like he going cry. CSU beat NM that game and they were big time favorites. I always thought he was a trash coach.hi can't believe UCLA fell for him.

That's nothing - you want to be jelly in 2014 I went to a Knicks-Jazz game at MSG and sat in one of their new luxury suites. One of the vendors we used at my company owned one.

Those suites are so over the top it's ridiculous.

They cost 600K for a full basketball season -you feel like you're on some Saudi Prince's private jet.

 

[Knowledgeofmine]

That's cool. I have been to the luxury sky boxes myself a few times. Nothing like having cold beer right there for you.

Someone on this forum said they were in an MBA program with him at Westminster. I’ll have to look that up.

 

[infection]

Found it. From 2011 but this guy only has 2 posts.

This guy is not handicapped...I was in the MBA program with him at Westminster. To my surprise, he is actually pretty smart. Some guys in my class showed me the video of him in the Malone jersey above while we were in class with him sitting right in front of me. Funny ****.
