I know everyone here complains about the Toyota Center crowd during the season... According to this site... http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/12031628 the Rockets get about 90% attendance on the tickets they sell
There are people in the club seats who come to the game, but spend their whole time in the 'Lexus Lounge' or whatever. ...and how is Portland not in the top 5?
I have 2 autograph team balls to show my butt was in my seats the past 2 seasons But..... even I admit I missed a few games 2 seasons ago but had someone to use my tickets , this past season I went to 49 of the 50 home games (preseason and playoffs included)
Its really the lower bowl that gives the appearance of low attendance... upper deck and the sides are always full
It sucks that all the passionate fans that go to the games have to sit in the upper level, but all the "businessmen" buy the good seats and just leave them to rot. :/
There's really no way to do it, but it would be nice to allow fans to move down in the lower area after the first quarter, then if the owner shows up they could just go back to there seat.
or at least in the forth quarter if there seats available have fans fill them up...the upper decks are always filled..but can"t see that on TV
I have a question to all you people. I've never been to the TC before, so my question is, is it easy to sneak down to better seats like compaq center was, or not?
The issue is having the fans that are there in their seats and cheering on the rockets. Just too much extra activities and things to do at the games. I guess all arena's are trying to be multi faceted to attract more fans.
Its possible for sure, I know some of my friends have done it before. However, I wouldnt say its easy when they have people checkin the tickets at the doors for the lower bowl.
I would love to complain about the people that go to the Lexus Lounge and don't scream for the team but I guess I should be grateful that they're paying salaries and paying for the Toyota Center? But come on! We're the 4th largest city in the US! Fill it up!
There are individual seat attendants near the lower bowl. You have to pass through two layers of security to get to the lowest seating section.
No I didn't mean like going down to the court side seats or whatever, what I mean like like the middle section costing 40 50 bucks. Would it be possible sneaking to those type of seats.
