Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 169348, member: 127"] I told you this lady is a real character.She has to be in her 50's and is in constant motion. Her rebel yell is something to behold and shocks those not initiated earlier who are around her. To those who talk about the older fans who sit on their hands , I can tell you that it's the young ones who disappoint with their face in a smart phone throughout games and are the real deadheads. Yes, the balloons.. it can get irritating batting them away but a few games ago I was the same way until I spotted the guy who was bringing them a few rows behind me. He has to be in his late 70's, 80's and the usher yelled at him and told him he couldn't release the balloons because of complaints. The usher then started popping all the balloons. The poor man started apologizing to everyone saying he'd brought them for ages and thought people liked them. This scene suddenly made me a solid balloon advocate. Here's a devoted older fan and his tradition of blowing up about 30 balloons, carrying them to the dome in all types of weather to release after the first basket and he gets yelled at... No way. I am a convert. Young kids in the section (particularly those who aren't "regulars") love it. I then realized that the gesture behind these balloons is way too impressive not to be appreciated and so I decided right then to embrace my very hidden balloon side. In fact I'm thinking of giving him $10 next game for the remainder of the season's balloon inventory. Joe, I agree I like the seats in 105 too - you get involved with the students (who I think are the real reason for the season) and also have a good view of SU's bench(nice profile view -lol) . So glad you and your son enjoyed them and gave your child some valuable life lessons ;) [/QUOTE]
