I don't know if my experience is relevant. I was in either the next to last or last row of the stadium, I don't remember exactly where in relation to the court but possibly near but not behind a basket. The seat was fine. Not obstructed. Of course the action was far away but I had a decent sense of what was happening. I actually preferred it so much to the Dome that it's hard for me to attend a game there anymore. Although I was quite overweight at the time, and walked up the entire way, most was via a ramp, and then the steps leading to my seat were like what I'm used to at a baseball game, where the steps are a normal height and there is a railing to hang onto. I was a little out of breath when I got to the top but not much. Whereas with my nosebleed seats at the dome, because I only go once a year and can't afford prime seats, the steps are double height, there are at least 20 of them and there's no railing at all to help keep your balance.  So it's quite a challenge to climb and the last time I did it was so grueling I haven't been back. And that may have been the same year as Atlanta so it's not like I was more out of shape then. The Dome is just not geared for the elderly, out of shape (and mind you I climbed subway stairs regularly and attended the gym then too, so not as out of shape as I am now) or disabled. It frankly stinks. They could at least put in hand railings.

Sorry to go off topic. The point is the Atlanta stadium and the Houston one may be very different. Or not. Can't say.

Oh and unlike the Dome the Atlanta stadium had proper seats, not the concrete bench with no back to sit on. Again the Dome stinks.
