    Good question. Are you allowed to bring your own noise makers? I know security might be tight-- but pennies in empty water bottles are good noisemakers! Any other ideas for those who are going? I want to hear the thunderous crazy noise from my couch!!!

    That's great. I'll bring my baby, and when Dirk's shooting his 15th free throw, we can have the arena quiet except the sound, off to one side, of a crying baby. There's nothing quite as distracting as listening to a baby wailing her ass off.

    I was at Game 3 against the Lakers last year. I'm a fairly sedate person anyway, so I wasn't disturbing anyone in their fancy seats (row 7, sweet-ass seats!) for most of the game. But, at about 2 minutes left, with a very important possession in the offing, I stood up and stayed up for the remainder. A guy pokes me in the back to tell me to sit -- which I ignored. Seriously, 2 minutes left in a close game in which your team is winning against the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq in the playoffs, and you're sitting down? :rolleyes:

    We'll be in Section 124 in full Rockets regalia - not sure of the Row & Seats though, becuase they moved a bit from our regular ones.

    I had to tell my girlfriend last night that if the Rockets game fell on Friday of next week, that I wouldn't be able to get to the dinner she had planned - where I would meet her mom for the first time. Amazingly, she understood even though she's not a sports fan! Even said she realized "how important this was..." Don't know if that meant important to me, to the city/Rockets, to world harmony, but it was great!

    We'll see if that understanding lasts past the first round, hehe!

    As a long time member of the cheap seats, I had the opportunity to get on the bottom (5th row), and you are right on the money about the type of "fans" in that section.


    I would LOVE to sit in that area all the time, since you can actually yell and the players will hear you, but it is so uptight down there with all the suits. (people do stare you down) I honestly can say I rather be with the cheap seat section were fans go nutz screaming.


    as the announcer states it ".... louder .... louder .. "


    Here is to our 3rd NBA CHAMPIONSHIP .. "COME PROUD AND BE LOUD!!!"

    I second that, I am the proud owner of cheap seats and I have a chance to sit with the suits and it was boring as hell half of them were not even watching the game but discussing business....

    I also notice alot just go sit at the bar or hang at the bar and get drunk and don't even sit in their seats......

    I bet because Rockets clinched and their is no playoff implications here I bet it's a ghost town tonight.....I hope not though.

    Okay - so I bought my red TMac jersey at the game last night...

    They were sold out of the red TMac throwback though!:mad:

    Also, wtf don't apparel companies make jerseys in size S?
    This thing looks like a dress on me.

    Oh well - I'll be partying in my red jersey/miniskirt next Thursday...

    When my wife says, "Damn, that's loud"

    I'll say, "I know. It's Rocket G".

    I have an idea for the megaphone. Ask somebody to bring it to the smoking area at anytime and just take it from them and hide it on your way back.

    any advice on how to keep our voices throughout the game?

    i usually end up losing it by the end of the first.

    I am also a victim of the Country Club Fan (CCF).

    Me and my friends were asked to sit down with 3 minutes left in Game 3 of the playoffs last year. At first, we thought they were surely jesting, however the 'seventeenth hole at the country club' gleam in their eyes made it obvious that they were dead serious.

    Our emotions turned to momentary embarassment, then transitioned to shock and within seconds to prideful anger in the form of screaming our voices out and ignoring these CCF's behind us for the rest of that game and the entirity of Game 4.

    This year we know better then to even acknowledge the CCF. Just look back at them and laugh while continuing on your blind-ref/dallas-sucks tirades.

    In time the viral infection strain that causes CCF will die out like a useless gene and the crazy rocket fan will be able to yell in peace.


    -section 412 will have 12 LOUD fans representin'... what section will you raise the decibals in?

    Section 112. 1st time in the lower bowl. I'm hoping the fans will be okay in the corner since those seats aren't quite as expensive.
