    So I cant seem to find any of the info I am looking for online. *Any help would be much appreciated. *
    So looking for advice on parking, where to eat, how much to bring if were just eating, any chances for autographs, where to smoke, and what floor are the commentators on? *My son would like to get on TV, he spent about 4 hours lastnight working on a sign for the game. *Were sitting in the 200 level.
    Thanks for all the help.

    Do you know if your seats on the 200 level come with the buffet bracelets? If they do you don't have to worry about eating.

    I believe there are two outdoor smoking decks on the 200 level. Just ask an usher or attendant where the nearest one is.

    You can go down to the 100 level and see Mike and Mike after the game, I think entry 115 but I'm not 100% sure. It would be hard to see the players after the game.

    Good luck!

    Have fun!

    TAKING MAX IS ALWAYS A GOOD AND STRANGE TIME BRO. TELL YOUR SON TO DANCE DURING TIME OUTS AND HE MAY GET ON THE JUMBOTRON

    You see people looking for autographs before the game during shootouts hanging out by the tunnels and then also (although not sure if this is still the case) people trying to line up after the game by the parking garage. I've never done it myself.

    I can't remember if the tickets that I've gotten in the 200 level said buffet on them. I know you can always buy buffet tickets/bracelets. I think they're $30 each. It includes a buffet which isn't bad and then all you can eat candy, hot dogs, pop, pop corn, etc. No alcohol but just a ton of junk food during the game.

    Maybe you can call the Blazer box office and see if they can tell you by your seat numbers.

    Can your son dance? To get on camera it will help. Then again if he wants to be sure to get on camera I don't think streaking has ever been done in the Rose Garden\Mota Center. He'll headline the news for sure.:lol:

    If you want a guaranteed way to get on TV, on the 100 (main) level concourse (south end), they tape the pre-game and halftime shows live from that spot and do tons of crowd shots.

    Yeah, Wookee and I did that a while back. Mike and Mike are a couple of nice guys and willing to chat with fans after games.

    Get there early and take in all the pre-game activities on the court and around the concourse. They do free face painting. the line starts to build up so do that first if your going to do it.

    Taking the max can be a fun experience. I park downtown (smart park) and hop on the max from there. Parking is $15 in the RG garages and will likely be full on a Saturday (passes only). You can also park at the convention center for $7 but according to weather forecasts, be ready for a wet and windy walk (relatively short walk). Many park right at the bridge and walk across the bridge to the RG.

    If you son is young, RG has Sizzle Pie Pizza. If he is older, I like Killer Burger (they are big for kids).

    The halftime and post game show is on the main concourse around entry A22 or so.

    Have fun. Even though Boston isn't that good, I love Boston games because Boston fans alway represent which seems to get Blazer fans more vocal and creates a buzz in the arena.

    Have fun and hope your son gets hooked.

    I think a sign is the best way to get on TV. Come up with a catching saying about how Blazers will beat the Celtics and have a kid waive it during timeouts.

    If you have preferred (I'm not sure if all the 200 level are preferred or not), you can enter in your own door.

    the entrance (not the one near the non functioning water/fire feature), there is a door off to the left. That's for the suites and 200 level seats. You can enter there, and continue going up the stairs.

    IF you are in the 200 level seats and get the bracelets, you get all the food you want (i think you have to buy alcohol though). At least, that's how it was the last time I had a 200 level seat about 6 years ago.

    There are smoking sections on the main floor (not hard to find). If you want back up the 200 level, you just show your tickets at the top of the 200 level stairs (they're pretty easy to find).

    If you don't have the bracelets, eat before the game. It's not cheap.

    Have fun. Yell, cheer and if anyone around you gives you looks or yells you to sit down/keep quiet, just say "screw that! this isn't church!"

    Are you sure the section number is 200? I don't remember there being a section 200...
