Message: [QUOTE="TexanMark, post: 2453872, member: 35"] Well TBH...that was my group rate. If you walked up you paid $15. Our group literally sat around the foul line in any row we wanted. We pretty much filled in the first few rows of the second deck. IIRC the cheapest walk up ticket was $12 to get in the building. Our tailgate got off to a rough start. The Arena happened to be hosting a cheerleader competition at the same time. The normal cash lot was labeled "permit only". Fortunately I arrived an hour early and shifted us to the top deck of the parking garage next door. I made a bunch of phone calls and texts to inform the participants. So instead of being 100 yards away from the entrance we were about 300 yards from the entrance. We camped out on the top deck. Parking cost $8. I flew my Cuse Flag on a 16' Flag Pole next to the front wall. I got comments it was very visible from the street. We met a few new fans who saw the flag and came up to see what was going on. A cold front blew through the previous night...we were tailgating in temps in upper 30s with a a few gusts fortunately it was sunny. Oh that newly permitted lot...was about 50% full...made no sense why they did what they did. A FSU fan I met said it was the first time he ever saw that. Just our luck. FSU fans reminded me of Texas fans...bored football fans who decided to show up to a hoops game. They did the chop a few times and have a cheer down pat but didn't create much of a home court advantage. Acme Brick handed out white signs to the student section which they were using to try to distract out foul shooters. The arena was nice...it had a fairly recent renovation. A nice touch to have individual lightly cushioned seating in the upper deck. Nothing spectacular but sized nicely (12.1K capacity) to host events like FSU basketball and semi-big music acts. I highly recommend a trip to FSU for a hoops game. You can work it around a vacation to Florida for points south (Daytona, Orlando, Tampa Bay). Drives from Tampa Bay and Orlando run about 4 hours. BTW, those hotels in Tallahassee for a football weekends that run $2-500...all were under $150 for a basketball weekend. You could find basic motels for $45-70. [/QUOTE]
