They don't sell a ton of tickets as you can see MANY empty seats in the photos below, so they do things like they did a couple of weeks ago and handed out many vouchers for 4 free tickets to the 6th grade center, which as coincidences go, is where the larger American boy gets his skoulin'. That's over 600 vouchers!!!
They do this because of $8 parking and the sale of concessions, of which, are already ridiculously expensive and on top of that, I was charged for two popcorn's instead of just the one that we consumed! Dirty, rotten...
Mama had to work 2nd shift that night so the boys and I headed downtown for the big contest against Los Angeles. It was an excellent game and I could not believe how many of the players that Robby knew!

| Our seats just before game time. They filled in a bit more as the game started, but by no means were full. |
 |
| The fella in the air made this dunk, and if he would have made the one with 4.4 seconds left at the end of the game, we would have forced overtime. As it came to pass, we lost 101 - 99, but it truly was a great game. |

| Love this cutie!!! And check out the empty seats behind Caleb. Those never filled in, and so, I wonder... what did the other end of the arena look like? |
 |
| Much the same. Empty seats everywhere! And this kid, the capacity of his memory is astounding! Where he learned about these players (from BOTH TEAMS!!!) I'll never know. He even knew when the Grizzlies assigned one of the more recent players to us. Amazing boy and I love him. |
As I think about it more, another reason to give out vouchers is that I had so much fun watching the game, I actually checked what season tickets would cost for next year. If only 10 families of four did just that (I didn't purchase them, btw), you have 40 more tickets sold for every game, not too mention the parking and concessions that you already have staffed and on payroll.
Thinking of it that way, it's a pretty clever business move on their part!
