    'Rowdiest Rockets fans' will get free season tickets
    Associated Press

    HOUSTON -- Seeking to liven up the atmosphere at the Toyota Center, Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy has purchased 50 season tickets, the majority of which will be given to fans judged to be the rowdiest at tryouts this weekend.

    The Rockets went 34-48 last season and won only 15 home games. Van Gundy has said he wants the arena to become a more intimidating place for opponents.

    On Saturday, the Rockets will hold open tryouts at the Toyota Center in search of "the loudest and rowdiest Rockets fans in Houston," the team said. Candidates will have 30 seconds to audition in front of a judging panel -- which will not include Van Gundy.

    The top 30 fans selected by the judges will receive season tickets near the court. The other 20 tickets will be distributed at each home game -- 10 at random outside the arena before the game and 10 during the game allowing fans to move from their seats into the "Red Rowdies" section.

    The suits aren't going to be too happy with Van Gundy. Now, they're going to having someone standing in front of them, and making noise. How is anyone supposed to get any reading done with people carrying on like that?

    This is the biggest thing that sucks about not living in Houston. Otherwise I'd be there and definitely get me some season tickets. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

    It's GREAT to live in Houston!

    I am excited to see what happens on Saturday! I am a die-hard Rockets fan and can't wait to see other die-hard fans on Saturday.

    Anyone camping out Friday night?

    ESPN got the story, man must be BIG!

    I downloaded the registration form and I'm ready!

    That or the sports world might be real slow right now.

    I think this whole thing is real cheesy. We know the type of fans we are. We have an arena and a team that keeps us from going crazy at games. But since we need more seats to fill up, I cant really complain right now
