A Night Unlike Any Other: Hoopus Night at the Target Center, April 11th

I've mentioned before how proud I am to be a part of the Hoopus community. We're a pretty diverse (especially geographically), but friendly group who just like to talk hoops (and a few other topics from time to time). And even beyond the regular posters and commenters who I know, there's a large group of you who just like to stop by every now and then and see what's shaking. Either way, I hope you find Hoopus a fun place to spend some of your time at.

Enough mushy stuff. Since I dig you all so much, I thought it might be fun to get together and talk hoops without the use of a keyboard.

The Timberwolves have offered us a discounted use of their internal team suite. I know that people directly involved with the team read Hoopus, and they appreciate our passion for basketball. So, they're generous enough to provide a time and place for us to get together at a game.

When it's going down

Saturday, April 11th vs. the Phoenix Suns

Tickets

I've been working with Britt Carlson, Director of Premium Seating, to set up Hoopus Night and she's been extremely helpful (thanks Britt!).

To participate in the premier Minnesota basketball blog event of the year:

  1. Call Britt at 612-673-8366 or email her at bcarlson@timberwolves.com
  2. Tell her you're signing up for Hoopus Night
  3. Transmit to her $25 USD
  4. Use the time between ordering your ticket and April 11 to plan your outfit
  5. Show up 4/11 ready to watch the Wolves take on Nash, Shaq & Company with a bunch of people whose fervent interest in basketball borders on irrational

It's that easy.

Even if you've never posted a comment, or this is the first time you've visited Hoopus, you are more than welcome. This is no insider's event, it's the people's.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to leave a comment or email us (canishoopus@gmail.com). And don't worry, I'll remind you between now and 4/11 to sign up.

damnit

There goes my excuse for not seeing a game in person this year.

Will the suite be all Hoopus, or will we be sharing the space with a youth group from Klamath Falls?

Give the blog

your phone number, and we’ll call you from the suite!

You do accept collect calls from drunks at 3 a.m., don’t you?

Question

I already have tix for that game as part of my 10-game package. Can I swap my way in or do I have to find a taker for my other tix?

by snyde043 on Feb 24, 2009 4:39 PM CST reply actions  

I'm not sure...

…call up the rep. We had someone come up and visit us during the last night we had a suite. Give them a call and let us know how it works out so other folks in that situation can find out how to work that….if it’s possible.

Precisely.

Give Britt a call and let her know that you’re interested in Hoopus night. I haven’t asked her this specific question, so I’m not sure if there’s anything she can do, but definitely check with her.

Would this be an appropriate game watching party

for my brother to bring his 17-year-old daughter to?

by TMiss on Feb 28, 2009 3:46 PM CST reply actions  

Yes.

This will be a family friendly affair.
