What We Loved
- Even from behind the backboard, the view was excellent—clearly didn’t feel like a downgrade from center court. Bam bams added extra fun!
- High-energy crowd and a competitive game made for a thrilling experience.
- Getting to the arena was smooth, suggesting solid parking/transit options.
- Navigating the arena was relatively easy, with decent signage and layout.
What We Didn't Like
- Lower than average—possibly tight spacing or hard seating.
- Below the vibe and view scores—might not have had standout or diverse food offerings.
- Fairly pricey, especially for non-center seats (though Row 10 is pretty close).
The Verdict
The vibes were electric, the crowd was into it, and the game was a nail-biter. Sitting behind the backboard was a gamble, but honestly? Big win. The view was surprisingly stellar, and the bam bams turned us into full-blown fanatics.
Transit was smooth, getting around the arena was no sweat, and the overall energy made it feel like a party with 17,000 of your newest basketball-loving friends. That said, the seats weren’t exactly lounge-worthy, and the food didn’t blow us away—but those are small prices to pay when the fun factor is this high. 🧡💜
