Is it true, that Paul Allen had an apartment built for his mom at Moda Center

[tykendo]

Can someone verify this. And if so are there any pictures of it.

 

[THE HCP]

Yep! Way up in the rafters.

I tried taking pictures from my seat in 318, but the didn't turn out. I thought I saw movement up there once...

 

[THE HCP]

Never been up there, but a have a bunch of peeps who have over the years. Say it's really cool.

You don't have a picture with your amazing photography?

Right? I expected more. Really.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Never noticed it above the stats board?

I am sure he does, but it is very blurry

Wonder how many of the 15,000 books he was able to get through?

 

[Stevenson]

One time I was late to the arena and I saw him arrive by helicopter. That was pretty cool.

Outstanding comedic callback!

Thanks Guys for verifying. I wonder if it's still there. Be a very cool apt. to have as a Blazer fan. Plus, think of all the concerts you could attend.

 

[THE HCP]

It's still there.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wonder if it's on Air BnBall?

There's a story I heard that some employees once saw Monica Seles walk out of the apartment in the Rose Garden only wearing Paul Allen's shirt. That was an odd relationship.

I was on the crew that built the Rose Garden and we did not build it but we did put in the supports and framing for it. Though at the time we didn't actually know it was for an apartment. We figured it was for mechanical or performance needs. There is also a direct walkway to the area. I left that job before it was completed so i don't have any pictures. Back in 95' we didn't all have cameras on our phones in our pockets.

I figure relationships between consenting adults are their business assuming no abuse. While Duckhook's story is amusing, sounds a bit improbable. I mean, presumably Ms. Seles was wearing something when she entered the room so it should have been available when she left.

The best 2 years of my childhood were in Iowa. Living next to the woods, we boys built treehouses out of boards and nails the construction workers left lying around. We had 3 tree houses in one high tree. The treehouses had only about 10 boards each, but it was great to escape adults up there. It was a higher transcendental level of meditation.

If Monica was anything like her tennis game...you'd hear her before you'd see her....she invented the loud moan game!

Saw her play tennis. Early 90s one of the stops on the circuit was in Oakland, since moved. Every year finals were Monica Seles and Martina Navratilova. Sometimes one won, sometimes the other. I still have some cool pics I shot.

I won't generalize and say all the lesbians cheered for Martina and all the straight women for Monica, but it sure sounded like it.

This whole thing sounds like the Basketball court inside the Matterhorn in Disneyland (also real).

I loved Monica Seles game and Martina's....Martina is the greatest female champion ever to play the game in my view..Rod Laver would be the men's if you counted his amateur titles.My wife and I cheered for Monica to beat Stephi Graff everytime they played...she was fun to watch....Martina could probably still make the quarter finals of a grand slam today....one of the most fit athletes to ever play tennis
