I've watched countless games on TV, I've been in plenty of nose-bleed seats, I've experience the NBA semi-finals from the lower bowl, heck--I've even WORKED for the Jazz... but I've never seen them quite like we did last weekend! My uncle Brian has season tickets with the Legacy Club in the 3rd row, and my cousins Kyle & Michelle invited us to tag along. And let me tell you, it's a whole new game down there!
You can hear the coaches talk strategy during time-out, understand every last complaining word uttered to a ref, and see teamwork in action like never before. If you were (un)lucky enough, you could probably even catch a few drops of sweat from the players as they run by. It's like basketball heaven.
Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there--in fact, it doesn't start there, either. Before the game, the Jazz host an amazingly delicious gourmet dinner atop the arena complete with incredible views, lobster, filet mignon, salmon, Shirley Temples, and not one but TWO dessert tables to help satisfy your stomach. And if that wasn't enough, there's a mini-version during halftime as well!
Needless to say, we had a great time. So great, in fact, that the next morning I rolled over in bed and felt something around Matt's neck--his Legacy Club ticket from the night before. Yep, folks, he liked it so much he slept with it on. I love him. And we love sports. Obviously.

Thanks again to Brian & Sharla for the tickets, and to Kyle & Michelle for the good time! We love you!
AH- I LOVE the Jazz! How fun for you guys- 3rd Row! We had 6th row a few weeks back and we felt like superstars. You look great! Hope to see you over Christmas Break- we need to have a high school girl friends reunion lunch!
ReplyDeleteThats sooo awesome! One time my boss gave my dad 5th row seats to the Kings game at Arco and my dad gave them to Laura & I. You are right, its soo different sitting close up like that. We made a sign and got on tv. It was the best fun ever!
ReplyDeleteThose seats are definitely a whole different experience! Glad you had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool! I love the pictures. You guys had a great time at the big game. We needed food Pictures Ashley...come on. Matt won't want to leave Utah after all this royal treatment!
ReplyDeleteYou were in Utah and you didn't tell me!!!??? You're in so so so much trouble!!
ReplyDeleteis it wrong of me to find food the most exciting part? i love food. what can i say?
ReplyDeleteOh, so glad you had a great time with Kyle and Michelle! Those are great memories and events you don't forget! Your Uncle Brian has been known to start up a "conversation" a time or two with a Ref, or player or even a coach. He must remember that he could end up on TV or even get the Boot! Too much fun!!
ReplyDeleteOMH ...what great seats! I have always wanted to know what that would be like...lucky duckies. I didn;t know you would be there - but would have for sure came over to say Howdie! Glad you had fun & the pics are GREAT!
