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.

Reminds me of sitting in the Candlestick Park bleachers many years ago. We were drinking those 32 oz Old Milwaukees and having a fine time when my buddy spilled a beer down the back of the guy in front of us. He was actually not as pissed as you might think and he let it go after we apologized. It was later, when my buddy lit a huge joint of Humboldt's finest, that the same guy in front turned around and showed his badge - he was an off-duty cop as it turns out - and said "guys, the spilled beer was one thing, but you've really gotta put that joint out!"

He was pretty okay overall.
 
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?


Funny you should ask this, as I was perusing the Rose Quarter site and happened across the policy a few weeks ago.

Their stance is, whatever the majority of the section is doing. If the majority stands, then it's cool to be standing. If the majority is sitting, then I guess they expect you to sit.

I actually saw a Cavs fan ran for this earlier this year in the Garden. he was being a dick and standing the entire 1st quarter, causing quite a stir behind him. He was asked by the usher a few times to sit and wouldn't. At the end of the quarter he was escorted out by the grey coats and didn't return. Thought how funny it was that he paid to watch Lebron for one quarter and then got the boot. Probably not worth it.

I frequently spill beers.
 
If you've ever been to a Cubs game at Wrigley, this is a huge issue.

P.S. Left field sucks!

:cheers:

I'm in agreement with you sir. Left field, does indeed, suck.

Out of the countless games I have gone to at Wrigley, only once did I sit in the LF bleachers, as opposed to RF. RF is the way to go. Now I can't remember if we were less filling, or taste's great.

Now that's funny!
 
200s is where it's at. My personal fave is 222. 100s just aren't into the game as much as I want and 300s you're too far up. 222 baby. Just perfect.
 
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.

Thank you. There are good and bad fans in every section . . . no one is better.

I suppose for the sake of argument one could argue 300 fans are more rowdy and 100 level are more classy . . . but that would come across as bad as saying 100 level fans suck.

So I perfer to think that each section has it's good and it's bad . . . but we are all Blazer fans.
 
Section 301 mid court is actually the best possible view of the game IMO. You are perfectly set up to see every play develope before it happens. It can be frustrating too, because sometimes you see guys open and know guys missed making the pass.

As for rude people who tell folks to sit down and stuff, just do what I do. I just look right at them and tell them to go fuck themselves.
 
I agree with its GO time.. I have sat in both sections this year.. each has their own good and bad fans. That being said.. I feel more at home in the 300's the atmosphere is just unbelievable up there. Rowdy fans they are. When I sat in the 100 Level there were people in their scarves on one side of me and some guy in a full suit on the other side of my wife. Just something about the 300 level makes me feel at home. Plus I'm up there dissecting the game from up top the whole time.. I feel like an Offensive Coordinator when I'm looking at it thinking "How do we attack this defense" etc lol.

300 level during playoffs sounds like a blast (big party). . . but not exactly a kid friendly area.
 
That's a shame. Because I'm not going to spend hundreds of doolars to take my niece to a 100 level playoff game . . . I'll just tell her she isn't missing much. :D

Yeah I know.. just take her to a Reg Season game.. RG Regular Season Atmosphere > Other teams Playoff Atmosphere lol
 
The loudest Blazer game I ever attended was 1990 Game 7 vs. San Antonio. I stood up the entire game as did most of the rest of the MC. I still remember the roar that started on the opposite corner of the arena as Kevin Duckworth emerged from the tunnel. At that point, we knew SA was done. It doesn't matter it took a bad Rod Strickland pass to seal it; when Duck manned up, it was over for the Spurs.

I can tell you I definitly don't go there to be kid friendly. Those people had kids, not me.

Well I figured that with your last post.

Are you telling me that you told people to fuck themselves while they had kids next to them?
 
I can't tell you the number of times I have cursed during a game, only to turn around and see a young child. Man, few things will make you feel more like an a-hole than that.

I was at that game and it was very loud especially when Duckworth came out.

Still nothing is even close to how loud the crowds were for the 1977 championship series.

I was there for Games 3, 4 and 6, but was just a kid.

I'm old and was in my late 20's for the 77 championship. I had Blazer season tickets from the second season on. Those were great times and I'm really hoping it will happen again with this bunch. The following year was also great until the playoffs and Walton's injury. I'm positive we would have won the championship again if Walton could have staid healthy.

I wouldn't know, I was only 2 rows up from first base.

As to Blazer fans, I think there are more snobs in the 100s but overall it's a good blend.
 
Actually it is not. The arena is built to project the sound towards the court. So it is actually louder the closer you get, so my row 2 seats are pretty damn loud!

I actually agree there.. while I like the atmosphere up top.. I have noticed it louder down closer with all the fans behind you yelling.. but I also thought game 2 was much louder than game 5 but most dont agree. so I dunno lol I could be wrong.

I would agree with you . . . but I only got to go to game 2. :(

It was loud during game 2 . . .

I got last minute released tickets to game 5.. row R again way at the top just like last game for me lol. I was in to game 5 and yelling.. but Game 2 was physically exhausting with how people got into it.. I was gassed towards the end of the 4th quarter.. I honestly felt like I do after being on the floor at a concert. I had to get a Gatorade at the Flying J on the way back to Hood River lol. How pathetic is that.
