    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?i...ce=NBAHeadlines<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>HOUSTON -- Seeking to liven up the atmosphere at the Toyota Center, Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy has purchased 50 season tickets, the majority of which will be given to fans judged to be the rowdiest at tryouts this weekend. The Rockets went 34-48 last season and won only 15 home games. Van Gundy has said he wants the arena to become a more intimidating place for opponents. On Saturday, the Rockets will hold open tryouts at the Toyota Center in search of "the loudest and rowdiest Rockets fans in Houston," the team said. Candidates will have 30 seconds to audition in front of a judging panel -- which will not include Van Gundy. The top 30 fans selected by the judges will receive season tickets near the court. The other 20 tickets will be distributed at each home game -- 10 at random outside the arena before the game and 10 during the game allowing fans to move from their seats into the "Red Rowdies" section.</div>Damn, I think that is a pretty good idea by Van Gundy.

    yea it's a nice little thing to get people in the seats and to help our home record, maybe.

    It's so bad that they have to give away the tickets, huh.

    Rowdy crowds aren't fabricated, you just have them or you don't. A lot of these fans going will probably just get their free tickets and sit like toads at the games.
