Friday night we went to our first NBA game. Our friends Dave and Nancy received complementary tickets to the Indiana Pacers vs the San Antonio Spurs in Indianpolis. The tickets were amazing! Three rows from the court. Things that we noticed...the court doesn't look so big when you are right beside it. The over 6 foot players look like short people next to 7 ft 2 players! I expected the players just to run up and down the court and make baskets, but they actually played a good game. It was a very close game but the Spurs ended up winning. There was a little walkway in front of our seats so lots of people were passing in front of us. Tom stopped two of the Pacerettes and got his picture taken with them. I don't have the pictures right now as Nancy took them with her new phone. We were in the same vicinity as Larry Bird, the president of the Pacers. He is such an Indiana Icon. He would sign your tickets during time outs and such so Tom got both our tickets signed, they will be framed and put on the Wall of Fame in the basement. Before the game we went to an Irish Pub called.Claddaghs. Very tasty with a great atmosphere. I guess on the way home Dave always stops at a White Castle in Anderson. Who are we to stand in the way of tradition? Tom and I split four sliders...then when I got home I took some tums. Those onions are killers to your stomach at 1:00 pm. Well we have been spoiled for any other seats because those were just the best. Thanks to Dave for asking us.
