I went to game one and sat in the lower bowl. It sucked.

I went to game five and sat in the 300 level. It was awesome. The fans were amazing tonight. Everyone was loud and into the game. I honestly can't say I've ever seen the fans this pumped up after a round 1 win. People were honking their horns, chanting, and screaming as everyone left the garden tonight. Everyone is pumped. Everybody rocked tonight and I was proud of our fans. GO BLAZERS!!!!!

Oh..... and very few people cheered for Aaron Brooks this time :grin:
 
It was awesome!! Screw 100 level.. real fans up in 300! I got high-fives and gave high-fives to everyone around me. Sweeeett!!! GO BLAZERS!!!!
 
I usually sit in the 100 level halfway up and have a great time. Tonight I llucked into some 100 level tickets in the 10th row. The dude behind us (blazers fan) yelled at us for standing up too much and more or less was said he was ready to "take it outside" with us! I wish he would have the same kind of passion towards the game! It's the playoffs for goodness sake.

Exactly why I prefer the 300 level. No one really cares, especially during playoffs, if you're standing. Everyone was standing up top in the last 4 mins or so.

should have knocked him the fuck out in front of his wife.
 
that was my first playoff game since the Dallas series, and it was fucking awesome!

Most of the people in the lower bowl are more concerned about buying beer than the actual game.

nope. I'm awesome!

they call it the nosebleeds for a reason. I watched a game up there once...while it was loud, you could barely see the action on the court. When you're in the 100s the only time you look at the jumbo tron is to watch replays.

Everyone was standing down low for the last 4 minutes or so, too. I have had mostly positive experiences in the 100 level. But I don't think you should get punished for being excited about the game - especially in the playoffs. I wonder what the Rose Garden's stance is on this. I paid for the seats, does that mean I literally have to sit in them the whole time?

huh??? what does buying beer have to do with them wanting to sit down the whole time?

Every time I've sat in the lower section, I've had to get up countless times for people in my row who makes a number of trips to get beers. It's so fucking irritating.

Perhaps, but I bet you've never tried to fight someone because you had to stand up to let them out!

The guy sitting next to me got a beer spilled down his back. He was hell of pissed and IMO had a right to be because while the two friends who's fault it was were apologetic, they were obviously drunk off their asses and then got all pissy when the guy didn't just smile and say it's all good and instead told them to watch the F out and quit drinking so much.

Also, I can see just fine from 300. You don't get the up close and personal feel like court side but it's not much different to me than watching it on TV except you actually get to be there going crazy with 20,000 other people.
 
It was really loud in the arena. A lot of the noise was from the speakers though- all that crappy music and sound effects. They should leave the noise for the fans to make. I think I lost some of my hearing. But it was a load of fun, especially since we won.
 
Ya, it was great! Very loud. Karla said it was the loudest she's heard there. I think the sixth game of the Dallas series was as loud if not louder.

The lady in front of me stood a lot which didn't bother me even in a wheelchair I could see over her, but then she started holding up a sign which was ok during TOs, but when they were playing I couldn't see a lot of the court. Eventually when she couldn't hear me I grabbed hold of the sign to get her attention and tell her I couldn't see. She was really nice about it and put the sign down. I thanked her and she nodded no problem. She never used it after that. I felt bad because it was fine during the TOs.

My legs are so swollen and I was in a lot of pain which is going to hurt a lot more when I stop taking percs and go back to vikes, but it was well worth it! I hope we make it to a game seven, but most likely I'll have to sell my tickets if we do because I doubt physically I'll be able to go to a game by Saturday. Then again it'll be hard to keep me from going! I just hope the Blazers make it tough on me!!

I was in the 300's as well. 3rd row from the very top. I could see all the action just fine. I found myself only watching the big screen during replays. The crowd was HYPED! Slapping fives with strangers is awesome! Love the passion in the nose bleeds!
 
This really is a silly conversation. Are the 300 fans better than the 100 fans?

I sat in the 100s last night, no one ever told me to sit down, in fact, I couldn't sit for the last 7 minutes of the game because everyone around me was standing and screaming. The roar was deafening.
 
Ya, people are talking like the 100 level is the Lakers 100 level fans. Of course I was in the 200 level and both 300 and 100 sucked compare to us!
 
Lol, arguing about fans in better sections?

:S
