Our pal own a local HVAC company and the insurance agent comped him with tickets to the TWolves game last night. Tickets for this venue are not hard to come by these days and none of us (we went with he and his wife) are huge basketball fans, but let me tell ya, you don't pass up this opportunity.
It started with valet parking, on the coldest night of the year, I might add. Then we had free drinks (wine, beer, soda or water) and food before the game. We walked in and found our seats on the floor. Yes, the floor. I have never sat on the floor for a game before. As we were getting seated, the Wolves were warming up and a bball hit Jr in the head. Kevin Love walked over and apologized. Holy crap are these guys tall, I thought.
We sat down to watch the game, just to the left of the basket and thoroughly enjoyed being a spectator. Hearing the plays and defenses being called, watching the speed of the game from that perspective. What fun, although I could have done without the danceline lining up in front of us (jesus girls, put some clothing on and then go get something to eat, seriously).
We had the opportunity to head back into the restaurant for free drinks during half time, at which point I called my mom and said, "turn on the TV!! Your daughter and SIL are on TV!!". Don't know if she found the station or not... During the second half I was blessed with having the camera man turn around (because I nearly had my foot on his back on night) and put me on the jumbo-tron. Dang that is intimidating. Plus, you don't really want to look up because all peeps would see if your nose hairs so I have no idea how I looked.
It was a good game, unfortunately we lost by 3, but it was tight to the end.
I have attached a pic of my ticket since I know I will never again in my life hold something that cost this much for a sporting event. Yes, you are reading correctly. Each ticket was $750.00.
