No kidding. I've never been to a playoff game...if we meet the clippers I don't know if I will go to staples. I want that Portland homecourt experience. If we ever do win it all I'd like to think I'll be there in the moda center or at the very least dr. Jacks or a bar and spill off into the streets to celebrate all night
Dude, a playoff game is not like anything you've ever experienced. I've been to WCF games that were so loud you literally couldn't hear yourself speak. It's unreal. It also never cost this much.
Looks like I'm out. I'll be watching from Denver tonight. You will be happy to know that with my playoff tickets, I only offer them to the loudest, most hard-core Blazer fans I know. The two that will be attending tonight can sound like five or six people. They're obnoxious and unrelenting.
Same here. My wife and kids come into the room and distract me during the game, and I am not pleased. I don't even want my dog around.
Whenever I buy a house, I'm going to have a soundproof room with a television and padded walls just for watching Blazers game. No chair, no couch, I usually stand and pace while watching.
I'll never forget game 1 against Houston in 2009 in the midst of the "Rise With Us" years 20-30min before tip-off and the Rose Garden was already packed. Players weren't even on the court yet. Video came up on the big video board of the Blazers in the back getting ready to come out, and instantaneously 20,000 BlazerManiacs started chanting the "Let's Go Blazers!" chant. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Then the Rockets destroyed the Blazers and it was all over. On another note, $100 for 300 level tickets is insulting. Based on principle alone I won't do it.
My greatest playoff moment ever (besides not being allowed by my dad to rush the court June 5, 1977) was the 1990 Game 7 Duckworth return. He may not have shed a tear, but when the realization spread across the arena that Duck was coming out of the tunnel, I know I cried.

A tip for all fans. You can go to the ticket window either an hour or a half hour before tipoff and ask if any will call tickets are left. If they are, you can buy them for face value. There should not be an empty seat tonight. If you have tickets, but can't make it, give it to the loudest, most obnixous Blazer fan you know.
really? That's surprising. I would think they'd have to hold will call tickets for longer than that. Odd.
It was the case as of a few years ago. I do know that at a certain point, the will call becomes general admission. Perhaps a Blazer employee lurker can check with the ticket office and check the rules for this year. Posting them here would be great. If we can get another ass (figuratively and literally) into the RG, that would be awesome.
