    I agree. Going to NBA games seems designed to make people insane.

    Constant loud noise and pounding music and flashing lights. I can't even go anymore.

    Still trying to find a gif of a man dropping his pants to add to my sig.

    And please, get rid of the junior dancers! That's just uncomfortable.

    I still miss the guy/gal who used to play the big Hammond organ back in the day, and at every time out would play the riff leading up to everyone yelling "Charge!!" Let's get back to the low tech retro cheese like that.......

    This kinda gives teams a blueprint for how to get under the warriors skin?

    As a tactic, a team should start doing this full game, get used to it, get their fans used to it, and use it to their advantage.

    It's triply awkward when I'm at the game with my wife and I need to ogle on the sly. I usually try to find something critical to say as cover like, "look at that one, she's totally off the beat".

    Music while the ball is in play should be banned from the NBA.

    I'd pay extra for tickets to a full game with none of the "fan experience" bullshit all game long.

    I don't mind most of the sound effects and activities and fan experience stuff.

    The Blazers dancers is pointless and honestly if they stopped doing it I doubt very many people would notice, and many people would be thankful.

    What I find incredible is arenas where they play actual songs while the game is in progress. Like San Antonio. WTF?

    I think it should be used sporadically and without notice throughout the game, like any other play or strategy to throw the opponent off their game.

    I also think whomever has been in charge of the music/noise at Blazers games for the last couple of decades should be ashamed of themselves.

    My first Blazer game ever was a few years back. I won tickets from gramps predictions game. I was in the 200 level with a good friend of mine and the dancers were doing a routine on the concourse right above us. We looked up to see what was going on and one of the girls was being held up in the air doing splits. Her body suit had slipped to the side a bit and accidentally showed her vag for about 30 seconds. It was awkward as hell.

    I only go to the games to hear the "Hey" song.
