How are Blazer games at the Rose Garden?
I've been going since 1994. It is a good place to watch games and their isn't a 'bad' seat in the house. Even from the nosebleeds you can see, unlike some places like in Chicago. Blazer fans tend to be a bit quieter than those in larger cities and a bit too polite at times, but when they are playing well and winning (as in 2000) the Rose Garden was crazy loud. Should be like that again soon! Go Blazers!
Reply:Last year, I went to see the Blazers play the Pacers, and at one point, during the game, the arena was DEAD SILENT!!! However, that's not always the case. People tend to come more when the weather gets nicer (March, April) and the fact that the team is getting better brings in more people. Our attendance improved simply because we drafted Brandon Roy, and apparently season tickets are selling fast with the acquisition of Oden and Co. To answer your question, the atmosphere is awesome in March-April, and the team is very entertaining; the second most entertaining in the NBA, IMO. And a steal on seats are the 50 dollar seats in the 2nd level behind the basket (lower bowl) :)
Reply:This year should be better than the last two. The games are not too bad, but IMO not as exciting as U of Oregon games in the Pit.





At the Blazer games there is a huge difference between the last few years and the games in the old Memorial Coliseum or the early Rose Garden years when the team was really good. Back then, there was a real energy at the games and it was like a rock concert -- the noise and how your head kind of rang. Now, it's not really like that very often.





The reasonably prices seats (300 level) seem pretty far away and when it is quiet, it's worse than watching on TV. The good seats (200 and 100 levels) are a lot better. If the game is close and the team is playing well, it is fun. If they blow out a team or get blown out, it is kind of boring.
