I have to say, from the start of the game there is a lot more people in the lower bowls and the fans are loud as hell!!! Looks and sounds like a great atmosphere and you could barely hear the commentators at times.
I think its the 8:30 start that helps. Traffic is Houston can be and IS horrendous. Fans have a little more time to get seats
Sitting in the lower bowl, it was pretty quiet until the 4th quarter. But, near the end, it's kinda hard not to stand up and cheer when your team decided the most efficient form of basketball is the Alley-oop.
Doesn't matter if people are in their seats, at least it's full and the 1st quarter of the 1st game and 4th of this one was pretty great atmosphere wise. It seemed louder than years prior imo.
The playoffs last year were amazing. This year the crowd is even better. The first quarter was loud as hell. Q2 and Q3 were okay. Q4 once people could no longer buy beer was the loudest I have heard it in a while.
TC always gets loud during the playoffs. Everyone was standing in the lower bowl during most of the 4th quarter.
I last minute bought a lower bowl seat solo in 125 (not quite corner) but it was fairly close to the Mavs bench. Half the chants last night were "CUBAN SUCKS!" it was quite entertaining! I also became an animal during the 2nd qtr and beyond yelling for defense! I felt like Blanca from Street Fighter!
Too many older people left early. Some left in the middle of the fourth quarter. Something something have to put kids to bed Something something have an early Confrence call.
