    BLAZER PROPHET's Rules for attending Blazer games:

    Rule #1: Luxury suites insulate one from the riff-raff

    Rule #2: The game is secondary

    Rule #3: Hob-nobbing with the lawyer-types is THE BOMB

    That's all you really need to know

    I've never seen so many jealous peeps in my life. I'll be thinking of y'all when I have a plate full of Penne Chicken, just prepared by the chef in the suite, soft garlic bread, salad and a cold beverage, cheering on my team from the confines of a carpeted posh and spacious room. Why you spend your time with bubba and bubba, jr cutting their 300 pounds back and forth in front of you all night getting beer and slobbering about the refs.

    Oh yeah, ABM, if you dislike the suite so much, then stop begging me to go there. Stop asking if I can leave my wife home to slip you in. Stop asking me to ask my boss to make room for you...

    Gads. The things I do to set an example around here. Somebody has to show a little class and I guess that means me.

    I've been to a half dozen Blazer games in a "Luxury" suite. I'm not talking out of my ass. I'll take my seat in the mighty 306, above the "Luxury" suites any day. Far from jealous. Just informed.

    Don't bother. In his own words, he's a Blazer "snob".

    I sat up there once. It was so high my ears bled. I saw some little ants running around waaaaaaaaaaaay down there and realized it was a basketball game!

    Just think, if the whole city felt as you, a sellout would be around 3,000.

    Thank goodness for riff-raff!! :party:

    Even when I have suite access I still get 100 level tickets. Go to suites at halftime and that's it.

    I prefer anywhere in the first 20 rows over a lux suite anyday. I could care less about people pampering me, I want to be part of the atmosphere. Plus when I've been in a suite its too much of a social event. I just want to tell people to shut up and watch the game, we can chat later.

    We create our own atmosphere in the 306. Rowdy as hell. I could never get away with my "antics" in a suite, and honestly, the view isn't that much better from the suite either. I do like the TV's in the bathroom, though. :)

    I'd take a suite! Not like sitting in the first few rows, but they are very comfy!
