Airing my grievance

[MarquetteDano]

First, great game on Saturday.  I haven't seen too many games this year in person... my excuse, which I believe to be a good one, is that I have been in Australia for most of the season.

Anyway, on to my grievance...

I sat on the aisle for Saturday's game.  I seem to get aisle seats a lot (by chance) which I normally like because I am tall and can use the leg room.  But what is the deal with people going back and forth, between their seats and the common areas during gameplay.  Is my lack of etiquette understanding that you wait until a stoppage of of play before blocking someone's view before you take your seats?   

Could the Bradley Center have signs that say something like "In courtesy, please take your seats durring stoppages of play." ? WTF?

Or I am just getting old?  Comments are welcome.

Doesn't the Bradley Center stop that?  At Staples Center you cannot move unless there is a stoppage in play for that very reason, the ushers won't let you.  They make you wait at the top of the stairs in the tunnels (vomitoriums...one of the greatest words out there) and then with a stoppage you can move down or up until the ball is in play again (then you have to park it).

For all its faults, the Horizon was the first place I was ever at that closed the curtain while the ball was in play. I wish every arena would do that.

I agree.  I've always felt that closing off the entrances during the game is one of the things that makes the Kohl Center a better venue than the BC--it gives the place a "hunkered down" feel.

To clairfy: No, the BC doesn't stop anyone from moving around during play.   No lingering in the aisles, but otherwise, you could dance a jig.

Speaking of dancing a jig .. the "jumping guy" .. my wife named him the "new Freeway".

It was great to see him on the jumbotron for the Kiss Cam practically attack his wife.  What a great fan!

that's one of my friend's boss.  Think we should have him as our mascot and scrap the eagle...hello Marquette Jumpin' Whities...lol, jk...but it is awesome to see an alum get so into it for 3 different games...i love when they show the footage of him while he's jumping from previous games.

I was surprised when they opened bank one ballpark in phoenix to have the ushers actually block the aisles until a break in play.  sure would be nice at the bc..., especially after the halftime break.  even saturday nite, with all the excitement, people straggled in late, and slowly, and rudely.
