My vote is December 1st. It's a Tuesday so probably not In major demand. And it's against Dallas. Hopefully we can welcome wessy Wes homethat game
Here is the schedule - http://www.nba.com/blazers/schedule# Friday Dec 11th against the Suns sounds good. or Saturday Dec 12th against the Knicks.
I'm thinking that the Blazers will have no problem selling suites to a Laker game. And I have no problem with them trying to profit off of the Kobe fan boys.
...we should do a ping pong ball lottery -- the more posts you have the higher chance you have of winning -- that seems "fair"!
I would include the Wes return game, which might be too premier but why not include it because you never know. Otherwise I think the best bet would be to go for games that would be exciting for one reason or another. Here are some ideas: Thursday Dec 3 Vs Indiana Monday Dec 14 Vs New Orleans Sunday January 31 Vs Minnesota Sunday Feb 21 Vs Utah
The game against the Jazz is a Sunday game so that could be cool. I just assumed that most would want either a Friday and Saturday game.
Friday-Saturday-Sunday (early start) is probably better for out-of-towners, but those are likely in higher demand?
Sly, I gave you free wine. There's more of that where it came from (assuming it's attached to a suite game).
I would imagine many more than 20 would like to go, myself included. My suggestion is this: Pick the dates first, so the Blazers can solidify the night. Start another thread with some dates listed. Give it a few days and the 3-5 most votes get handed over to the Blazers. As soon as that is known, take a count of anyone more than 100 miles away that would like to go. I am assuming this wont be too many, 3-5? I would offer them the opportunity first, as I know it would suck to live far away and read about all these events and this sounds like a great one to go to. . Then take a tally of all remaining who would like to go and can make the date. If its more than the 15-17 presumed spots left, then have a lotto. Anyone who wants to go, messages you a number between 1-100. The people who pick closest to your predetermined number then get those spots. At any rate, I would love to go if there is an extra spot. If not, then let someone else have this one. I live close and can attend many events and I get some good club seats to games throughout the season. Oh and Sly? You should be drinking and eating for free (if not included with the suite) for all that you do for us man. . If I'm there ill take care of ya that's for sure!
