Continuing on my quest to attend every NBA Arena (I was at 12 going into this game), I stopped by the Wachovia Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to catch the 76ers and Raptors square off. Wait, Vince Carter and Allen Iverson aren’t playing?! Who is? Ben Uzoh? Thaddeus Young? Yikes, these tickets aren’t refundable, [...]
I didn’t know until I arrived that there was a Sweet 16 game being played at the Georgia Dome, right next to Philips Arena. Why would people go watch amateur basketball when the pros are playing right next door? The South’s love of collegiate sports apparently overruled it’s love of archaic, Salem-in-the-1600s-era anti alcohol laws [...]
If you missed All Star Saturday Night, click here Upon waking up I reconnected with DR. A. We got some breakfast and then spent some time being held hostage by Disney World related traffic on our way back to the stadium. Parking right by the arena was an ultra reasonable $10. When we got back [...]
I was on the fence about attending the NBA All Star weekend this year. I went last year in LA and lost my All Star Weekend V-card (and control of a rental car). This year it was held in a far less intriguing city (I’m sorry Orlando, it’s true), had a non descript at best [...]
In my quest to travel to all 32 NBA stadiums, I figured it was time to face the music and go to Charlotte for a game. While Charlotte maybe be close in proximity to me (a surprisingly brief 4 hours), its pretty far away from being an NBA team. Seeing Lob City come to to [...]
This past week I made a foray up to New York. Being a Nets fan, along with not having the six figures necessary to purchase a Knicks ticket, I crossed the Hudson River to catch the League leading Bulls take on the Nets in their temporary shelter. I made the pilgrimage with two of my [...]
Since I have been breaking the bank with my recent forays to Philips Arena, I decided to formulate a plan to spend less than $20 on dinner, booze, parking and good seats at a Hawks game. This is the Lola Sports Talk Recession Special. The Recession Special begins with a cheap, 100 level ticket. Being [...]
As part of our continued tour of the opulence at Philips Arena, we bring you the Hawks/Nets game from floor seats. If you missed out on Part 1: The Suite Life, click here and check it out. Basically I was drunk at a bar and decided to look up tickets to the upcoming Nets at [...]
The other night I got drunk and bought a courtside ticket to the Nets/Hawks. I figured the Nets only come to town once and this would be my New Years. The following morning I woke up to a text from my friend and LolaSportsTalk webmaster Spencer, telling me that he had an extra ticket to [...]
As we all know 2011 has been the year of the Lockout. While the NFL Lockout ended up being all bark and no bite (in reality, all it cost us was the Hall of Fame Game), the NBA Lockout continues on. It appears to be leading to a basketball diaspora as some of the best [...]
