For those of you who know me definitely know that I am not no bandwagon fan! I may have not been a fan since the beginning of their time, but I have been a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers since 2006. I think that makes me a true fan, what do you think?
Before the NBA lockout ended and we got news of the new Clippers roster, I knew I definitely wanted to go to a few games this season. I haven't been to a Clippers game since before I got pregnant with baby E back in 2008. Time and money were an issue so we couldn't fit going to any games in the budget. Well we did go to a game, but that was a Lakers game and I got a sweet deal on VIP suite boxes and Mr. Man has never been to a Lakers game!
Anyways, I was trying to find tickets to the home opener and man, let me tell you, seats were so expensive! When I go to games, I'd rather not do nosebleeds. Honestly, I'd rather stay home and watch it on TV rather than sit in nosebleeds seats. Every Clippers game I've been to, I've always been in the 100 sections, except for those couple of times we were in the VIP suites and that one time we were in the 200 section during the playoffs in 2006.
Anyways, this past weekend, Mr. Man and I got the opportunity to sit 5 rows from the court. It was behind the basket, but it was ok. We got to go to a game! And let me tell you, it was so awesome! I forgot how the experience was. Seeing the players that close, I kept telling Mr. Man, "they look so real!" HAHA of course, they are real. If I were to ever meet any of them in person, I'd probably be speechless and just stare. I'm serious!
Like that one time in 2007, when we met Elton Brand and got my jersey signed by him. I didn't even know what to say!

Anyways, back to the game at hand... We sat in section 107 Row F. After the game, I watched the replay and DVRd it.
We were just to the right of the base of the basket.
Here's the view from our seats.

I really hope to go to another game this season. When I look up prices for seats, they actually aren't that bad. But with my 10 year wedding anniversary coming up, I might not be able to go to another game quite yet. Who knows maybe the next game I go to is when they make the playoffs! That'll be nice! But let me tell you, I am so happy that the Clippers team finally have a chance at making playoffs again. This season has definitely been fun to watch so far and I can't wait to see more! Let's Go Clippers!!
