    Going to the game tonight with my 6 year old.

    What time should I show up, and what things would the little guy be interested in?

    Pre game warmups? Activities on the outside?

    Ill be in section 114

    I like getting there 40-45 minutes before tip off. Gives you time to get food, shop for gifts at the blazers store, etc.

    Yea give some time for him to browse around. There are stations that let you make posters and get your face painted usually.

    I agree getting to the game around 45 minutes before tipoff. The doors won't open until 60 minutes before tipoff.

    Maybe watch the guys during warmups or take some photos of your little guy by the court as close as you can get.

    When I was little and went with my dad I always enjoyed watching the warmups from near the court, and the food.

    Beyond that you can't go wrong with beer. Well, maybe you can because he'll have to go to the bathroom about ten times.

    Well you know how it is. You say the 6 year old is interested in the Blazer dancers, so you can, tag along and make sure he/she doesn't get into trouble...
