Bulls Game

My nephew Jon is a basketball fanatic. He has played hoops his whole life starting with a min-hoop when he was about 2. He has coached high school basketball, both girls and boys. He can lay around and watch hours on TV, gamble on the spreads, and tell you the standings on both college and pros. So it was no surprise when he went and got season tickets to the Bulls this year.

On our birthday this year, him and Erica gave Sharen and me 2 of the season tickets. Last night we headed on into the city to watch the Bulls play the Knicks.

We paid the $25 and got a parking spot 50 yards from the doors. We got in just before the down pour. We grabbed some beers, Sharen got a pretzel and I had one of the best pulled pork sandwiches. Highly recommended.
We watched the warm ups - It took awhile for the place to fill up and everyone was coming in really wet.

Jons' seat are right under the hideout of Bennie the Bull. He was literally in our face.

The game was not what we were hoping for, but we had a good time anyway. It felt more like a preseason game with the starter sitting on the bench the whole 4th quarter. Yes - we were among the chanters. "We Want Rose - We Want Rose"

This was nice to see though.


After the game we got out of the parking lot and onto the expressway in less than 5 minutes - we both decided well worth the money for that prime parking to not have to sit and fight the traffic.

Thanks again to Jon and Erica.
