Taking my son

[scratched]

I know this is the football board but the basketball board can be kinda slow... Taking my son to our 1st Hornets game.. Just have a few first timer questions.. What time can we get in for A 7 OCLOCK game. Are we allowed down on the baseline to watch an take pics while they are warming up? Do they sign any autographs? If so, then when and where are the good places? Our tickets are in section 101, are these good seats? What fun stuff if any is there to do in the arena for the kiddo.. He is 8 years old.. thanks for the help guys and gals!

You should really have kept it in the Hornets board, because it's probably gonna get moved there anyway. 

But here are a few tips to help you out:

1) You can get in at 6 p.m. There will likely be a small line.

2) They're very stingy about letting you down there unless you're sitting there. You could ask though.

3) Players may or not sign autographs. They come out for pre-game shootarounds and are usually focused on that, but the sooner you get in, the better your chances are. It's a crap-shoot. I've seen 4-5 guys sign some nights and 0 on others. The best place is the tunnel where the Hornets come out onto the court. It's the one nearest the main entrance. Security will probably tell you you can't go there unless you sit in that section but if you tell them you're just going to get autographs with your kid they should be cool about it.

4) Stuff to do is more limited to outside the arena but there's a court kids can play on in the upper bowl I think.

Wtf is up with the text in this post?

My bro has seats in 103, if my memory serves me right 101 is right behind the players bench and you make get special access to certain areas depending on where exactly your ticket is. If you seats are close enough your kid will likely be entertained by the game and all the stuff going on on the court. Get him some nachos or popcorn and he should be good to go.

Most NBA arenas and sports venues will stop you from going to sections where you're not seated.

The hornets have pretty much been ass lately but I hope yall have a great time.
