About the only positive was when a buddy and I each bought $500 nosebleed season tickets for the 01-02 and 02-03 seasons, and were able to sit in the lower bowl for every game (and got to see Iggy’s breakout season). Then the offseason before the 03-04 season, we were like... it’s such a pain to go to the games, plus they’re boring as hell (other than Iggy, the only attraction was seeing the stars on the visiting teams)... so we decided not to renew. Annnnnd of course that was the season of the 04 run  |
I use to usher there in this era, we were trained to spend most of our time, “ticket checking” to make sure people didn’t move down. Pretty silly, but there would be constant complaints from the few season tickets holders who paid the higher price, and they needed to show that they weren’t turning a blind eye to this.
Pretty strange to think back to when they couldn’t put more than 13,000 fans in the building on a regular basis, compared to now.
