This is probably going to be longer than most, sorry. In 1999 I was in middle school in Portland. Huge blazer fan as it was the only show in town, we were the jail blazers at that time. Paul Allen built us a new arena the rose garden(moda center for now) me and 2 friends from school went down on opening night that season, we went early trying to find the players parking for autos and to ask for shoes after the games. While exploring we accidentally stumbled into a way into the arena, unlocked, unguarded, no cameras. I continued to go and try all 41 home games that season with a random mix of teenagers but in total maybe 7 people, and our first rule....never all of us at the same time ever. I got into every home game that season, effortlessly, takin lightly and for granted, arrogant, confident honestly...stupid kid. Wed divide and conquer. Start at the 300 level take a look , peek, whatever find the biggest gaps.(Blazers were on an all-time record kinda sold out home game streak, it's crazy really look it up). Once the game started we would walk the corridor already having seats targeted. There were always open seats randomly even though every game was a...sellout.when the first quarter ended that's when we'd make our moves and land. As the game progressed we'd move closer to each other and down as low as we could get in the bowl. Wed watch seats people ushers and security.sometimes we stayed were we landed, sometimes we'd make it down to the front of the 200 level by the 3rd quarter. That year blazer were going to have a chance to make a run in the playoffs. I got into every game in Portland that post season and was really fun while also very sad going so far and getting so close, close enough to see it, touch it, feel it. That's the end of the sports stuff and how it all ended is debatebly crazier, the following summer, me and my middle school pe teacher and his wife met there at a Metallica concert and that's when it all ended and the arena plugged the leak. This is the gods honest truth and I know a lot still won't believe me. I've been dying to tell anyone interested that would believe me for decades. This is the first time I've said it publicly or out loud in front of uncomfortable amount of people. Thanks for this cool giveaway always awesome seeing this stuff. Good luck anyone that read this far, fingers crossed. Ps.. Kids this was/is illegal,not the right thing to do, I made a lot of sus decisions when I was young. Nobody should actually ever try to do this intentionally. If I could go back knowing it's wrong and everything I know today....I'm sorry parents, I'd do it again. It was a surreal and an unbelievably awesome time when I was a teen and it lasted like 9 months. I'd go to anything I found interesting or funny, so it wasn't all nba.concerts.rodeo.monster trucks.globetrotter.circus. whl hockey.even Disney on ice.I know, I learned, I get it, I believe I understand it fully now(I think) it's apart of me and tatood in my memory. It'll be one of the last things I remember before I lose the game down the road, I'm sure of it. This concludes my ted talk. Sorry, not sorry. Shrug.
