    I am planning to go but was wondering if any of you have been to the SBC center yet? Are the balcony seats any good? I was planning on getting the 50 dollar balcony seats and need some opinions.

    If I get any indication Yao will play, I'm going.

    According to rockets.com, there is a good chance he will suit up. I bet he will be in for less than 10 minutes though.

    Good enough! Yao's first NBA appearance, and I've been Rocket starved here in Austin. I don't have a clue where the SBC Center is...but I'll find it. Thanks!

    No. I'm a native Houstonian who saw Hayes play in '68 @ U of H and I have a deep attachment to centers who play in Houston.

    I'm Asian but thats not why I like Ming. I like him because he got skills and the longest the rockets have ever been without a franchise center since I've been a fan is one. Last year and the year before we got Sampson which was 81-82 I believe.

    Austin readers:


    Lets all go and start a riot in the SBC center. Go decked out in any Rockets gear you can find and make signs and scream obscenities galore. It'll be fun...and besides, the SBC center is only an hour and a half away from home for us; which is not unlike the compaq center for some suburbian Houston fans of the Rockets.

    Is he actually trying to say that if yao was a 7'5" center with skills who was black or white (or anything else not Asian) that we wouldn't care that he was playing and wouldn't care about our #1 draft pick?

    :rolleyes:

    I live in New Braunfels, and have seen many Spurs- Rockets games in the AlamoDome, unfortunetly we lost most of them the last 2 years (here), and the Spurs Fans on a whole are Mean and Arrogant.

    Lionheart, you've insulted everyone with 2 posts, fascinating. I'm an Irish/German fifth generation Houstonian who became a Rockets fan at age 8, when they came to Houston. You are educated enough, I'm sure, to know your I.P. address follows you whenever you post. If you think Yao Ming can't play, you're welcome to say so. But on this forum you'll find insulting Rocket fans of any kind by this kind of racist ***t just gets you banned. But I hope you're not and you just get appropriately torn to shreds. This is a good forum. You can't hurt it with your stupidity.

    Corbe, S.A. fans aren't anything to worry about. It aint Philly.
