Best Places to See a Jazz Road Game

Went to a playoff game against Denver in the early 90s. Nosebleeds.
 
Brooooooooklyn!


You bet your Sloan-lovin' asses I'm going to the first Brooklyn Nets vs my UTAH JAZZ


Any ideas when it might be? When do we normally come out east? IIRC around Thxgiving, before Christmas?

Been to a game at Staples (Lakers) and the United Center and both places were really cool. Staples is like the casino of arenas. There are some really nice displays throughout and was worth getting there an hour early just to walk around. The United Center was cool, just not as flashy. The biggest thing is that we were visiting fans, but no one harassed us. Granted we aren't annoying fans waving Jazz jerseys in their faces, but we cheered for our team and would shout a bit at certain plays/calls throughout and it was just a good experience.

Cool thing about Staples is the pre-game. A white cylindrical tarp drops down from scoreboard over center court and they play movies on it. But my experience was LA fans did not appreciate my cheering for the Jazz, and especially not my glee at Kobe's rare 2-97 performance in this year's game.
 
Hard to beat New Orleans. Even if you don`t drink or party much just walking around the French Quarter area is a real treat. Lots of really cool hotels as well.

Show up around Mardi Gras and they have parades on the court at halftime.
 
The atmosphere in DC sucks but 1 the nice thing is the Wizards always suck so it's pretty easy to get great seats close to the court/Jazz bench. Even when they were sold out w/Jordan it wasn't dififcult, and there's always a moderate number of Jazz fans who usually show up.

And as an added bonus, the Hornets wear their Mardi Gras uniforms.

How was Seattle?

I liked the arena, although it definitely seemed a bit small-ish (reminiscent of a large college arena). Unfortunately, there were some red necks sitting in the row behind me and my buddy (old Mormon roommate from BYU), talking **** about Utah and Mormons the whole game (raising their kids up right...). It was fun glaring at them after the Jazz won.
 
I've been to a Clippers game back in the LA Sports Arena days (win) and a Lakers game back in the Forum days (loss).

But as much as I hate having fans of opposing teams sitting near my at home games, I'd probably not go to another road game.
