Has anybody ever done this? I'm kind curious about doing it as a one time thing just for the bucket list experience. I don't know the prices or if it's worth it etc.

I'm sure it's way cheaper than trying it with the Lakers lol.

Never done luxury suites but I've sat behind the scorers table before at a Hornets game and it's fun. You get to go back to the locker room area and get free food and what not, the view is amazing, and the player chatter is hilarious.

When I went we ate at the front court club (same level as the suites) because they had chefs preparing 5* meals before the game then we got snacks (beer, popcorn, etc...) at the back court club.

Overall it's an awesome experience and if you like to be in the action it's a fun thing to do.

My buddy and I went to a Bobcats game vs Celtics one year (we got TRASHED by Celtics) but before the game we were in the nosebleeds with our gear on and some lady came up and asked if we wanted to get comped and sit courtside.  Didn't believe it at first but she took us down there and it was right at half court, first row, in the seats.  We also had all access to the bar thing right there as well.   It was a cool experience being that close to the players and listening to Garnett complain the entire game.

I much prefer sitting down close to the court.

The closest I've been was last season, about 7 rows behind the Knicks bench.

Being able to hear the players on the court and to really see how big they are was amazing. Also seeing the disfunction between Amare and Mike Woodson was hilarious. During timeouts, Amare would just space out and look around at the crowd. I gave him a shoulder shrug one time.

I've only done this with football games. I sat on the first row of the 40 yard line behind Panthers bench for 2003 playoff game against Cowboys. And I've also done the luxury box thing a few times.

 

Face value of first row seats were about $120 in 2003 but being playoffs and everything I'm sure they were worth  more (as I went with season ticket holder.) To get in a luxury box you either have to be a huge businessperson in charlotte and be able to lease it out for the year or you have to be invited by a bigwig who already has a box. The box experience is more expensive and many would prefer it.

 

I prefer being right by the action and the real fans. Boxes are like lame cocktail parties while a football game plays on TV. Free beer and food though if you're not the one paying for the box though so thats cool.

A lot of people who sat courtside.. but who can give info about the booth?

 

 

Yeah boxes are cool if you can get hooked up with a coporate sponser and don't have to pay anything.

 

 

I think they can be a good deal if you have a big group, like 15-20 people, but otherwise I think it's too expensive.

      I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.

      Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
