    in all seriousness change the lower bowl seating to not allowing corporate seating. Move true fans down there. Better our home crowd...

    Sickening to see Harden have to get the crowd up when achieving some of the best things that are seen on a basketball court..

    1) Return the food to the way it was at the Red & White-- very noticeable quality difference. Best items were cheese plate and ice-cream, no lie.

    2) Allow bidding on Flashseat resale--- keeping fixed listings until modify and controlling the low offer price at 80% of resale means season-ticket holders don't have incentive to pony-up if they aren't able to go to every game. Have to be able to atleast derive fair market resale, and not get an all or nothing return. They've already paid for the ticket, there needs to be anonymous liquidity if they are unable to use and don't want to give it away or reach out to friends to pay you.

    3) The rest of it is okay, but freshen up the concourse food, but keep up w/ quality. Been a season ticket holder for 10+ years and seen a decline in the value proposition over that time span. (perhaps more offerings, but lesser quality at higher price)

    do something to get the lower bowl filled up, I’m tired of all the empty seats almost every game...fans of others teams notice it too, I’ve seen so many comments on Reddit/social media with people just confused as to why a team as good as the Rockets has so many empty seats

    I’d also appreciate it if he upped the quality of the food or lower the prices...$10 for a burger and fries, $5 for a bottle of water, drinks can get expensive too...

    every time I see somebody paying $10 for 2 bottles of water I just have to smh...I bring my own water to the games tho

    Tear that shithole down and build another. I don't live there, won't be my taxes...:D jk

    I'm NO fan of the TC. Cheap seats that wobble and never get fixed. Expensive food (every stadium). Parking is ridiculoUs now. Used to be 7 bucks in the lot next to garage. Ticket prices for lower bowl are outrageous considering attendance, but I think this is a season ticket holder prOblem. Here's an idea. Keep track of the use of those tickets and add a surcharge to renew season tickets that aren't used for, let's say 80% of the games the previous season.

    Better fans. We aren't loud. We sit too damn much. And, this is probably every fan base, we are irrational homers when it comes to calls. Maybe thats not an issue for normal people, though.

    I'd like to go back to the original uniforms also.

    That's all I can think of right now...

    Tilman should hire Tinman as the lead spokesman for Houston Rockets.

    Improve the food.

    It sucks.

    Look at what the Astros and Texans have done.

    If every fan was like Tmac in 08-09, the lower bowl seats would NEVER BE EMPTY.

    Agree about figuring out a way to get fans closer to the court - leave the expensive seats to luxury box seats - NOT surrounding the court.

    I don't live in Houston anymore so I'm not sure about the food quality/prices, but those sound like fairly standard event pricing - maybe even a little on the cheap side considering it's a Professional team. College teams certainly charge that if not more.

    I feel like it’s too expensive given the quality
