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.

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.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
