PrintOn a whim I just bought a $15 ticket to a lower level seat. I'll get downtown early again, so I'd love to meet you people. I'll aim for Kieran's at about 5:00 (unless someone prefers a different meeting spot). Who's doing this? I'll be the bearded guy in the black Pekovic shirt! Apparently I need more words. There are a number of words that come to mind. There. I've met my requirement.

(yeesh, the hidden 'recent fanposts' really needs to get fixed)
I’ll be going, both games this weekend actually. Might not get downtown early though. I’ll look for you if I do!
I only ever want the Wolves to draft 5th.

5 is a little early for me on a Friday, but if you all are still there
around 6, I could make that work

I'll probably hang out there
until6:30 or 6:45. Last time I missed the opening tip because I underestimated how long it would take to get to my seat.

Suffice it to say
The lines are a wee bit longer than they have been in the past…
Factor in weekend and a pair of big-market teams in DAL and NYK, should be pretty hoppin these next couple games.

I am already committed to
girly catch-up sushi/happy hour with my game companion, or else I’d stop by. I’ll be on the look-out for you at the game though (and I sit by Tim).
I'm in section 118 this time.
Within throwing distance of Los Locos. This should be fun!

That's a good question.
I don’t want to hurt them, but I needs something substantial enough to cover the distance. A tennis ball, maybe? A chair?

So you don't like Los Locos?
That "disguise thing" is maybe a little bit weird but I love the fact that there are noisy. I am only watching per nba league pass (international) and there it is great to hear people cheering.
The cheering culture is so different here in Europe. (I’m talking mainly about soccer games, but also basketball games) I think I would get kicked out of the stadium if I would behave like in a soccer game. In soccer games there is always a section with hard core fans, which are standing the whole game, clapping and singing the whole game through… In your stadiums, I think, it’s more about entertainment. People often look like they would sit in a cinema. I only talk about the NBA, maybe it is different in other sports…
I like them, my wife wasn't a fan
We sat in 118 at the Kings game. I think actually she only hated the one guy hitting his thunder sticks (is that what they are called still?) during the national anthem, which was a bit disrespectful.
I like the fact that there is SOMEONE getting the arena going with chants because I think some people don’t remember how to cheer for the Wolves.
I like Los Locos.
I thought the sombrero idea was misguided, but other than that I think they’re a positive element of the arena experience.

It turns out that
I was so close that I could have thrown a chair and hit the Locos! It made it easier to be enthusiastic in a lame way. I wasn’t the only one in the area making noise. There are a lot of thunder sticks now (though none sounded off during the national anthem.)

Don't forget your sombrero!

I saw no sombreros
at the Lakers game a couple weeks ago. A lot of lab coats, I think it was.

CJ!!!
Bring it on! Will be ready for it. If I see a tennis ball, I’ll know it’s you.
Donning all black for BLACK OUT night tomorrow.
Pek night is coming up on 22nd. Let me know if you would like to join us that night.
Teach me how to Jimmer!
Black sombreros?

I smell some jealousy here
Oh, wait a minute…
Nevermind, it was me.
I didn't mean it, i was forced by the little people living within my head.

Not a bad thought
TD, I may have to take you up on that. Ahh the power of CH and the power of a CH suggestion!
Here's to the crazy ones: @121loslocos
Top hats might be fun as well
Just not for the person behind.

Some ideas I've though of for the los locos section:
What about “other minnesota sports teams” night?
A whole section of Twins, Vikings, and Wild jersey’s could be fun.
Also, “wear a shirt with a wolf on it that isn’t a T-wolves shirt” night.
