    Hey Sonic, I am really glad to see you posting again in the GARM....

    And it was a blast, but more than that it was about meeting Clutch Fans....

    The internet is so impersonal, and people get ideas about what others are like, and then you meet them and it is all switched around.

    Just really cool to meet other passionate Rocket fans.

    So jealous, meat Tracy McGrady is my dream (and playing in the NBA). How much cost these tickets to be close to the court ?

    Its crazy but looking at the picture of you with the 2 RPDs I recognized the one on the left as one of my old high school friends that I haven't kept up with. She's looking good.

    Back after the arena campaign, I got to sit in Les' seats for a game against the then Vancouver Grizzlies. It was awesome. My friend who went with me high fived Walt Williams after he hit a big three.

    Looks like you had a blast.

    I had floor seats a few of times in '96 - '99 because I had a friend who worked for 740. I was given the tickets and didn't even know they were on the floor until I got to the game. It was a nice surprise.

    I sat behind the basket during the Steve Francis era, that was really sweet.
    but your seats are sweeter.. (plus this team is a little bit better than that team too :eek: ) :p

    The infamous DaDakota!

    :D

    Sounds like you had a blast man congrats good pics too! I can't believe you were able to get so close to the action.

    Maybe one day when I get out of college and can afford it, I will buy a courtside seat (granted I can find one, of course).

    Not to derail the thread, but does anyone know the going rates of courtside seats to good games like vs. the Lakers and if they even sell them on Ticketmaster or whatever?

    Anyways glad you had a great time on your trip down to Houston.

    put it this way, my face value for my season tickets is $13, there are some scalper websites going for $120 easily, I couldn't imagine how much the courtside ones are

    Cool. Red Rowdy on courtside is part of Rocket's fuel!

    And mixing in some armchair coaching is awesome! "I tell ya what I coached Shane Battier on running back door cuts."
