| - Ok, Ok....Yes, I am from Southern California, and yes, I am a born and raised Laker Fan, but more importantly I am a lover of basketball, period. So now that that's out of the way, I can give my opinion on the Phoenix Suns. I have lived in Phoenix for a while now, I even lived in downtown Phoenix when they "almost" got a championship, but before I met my husband I really had no opinion on the Suns. The day I met Eric, I broke him the news of my allegiance and luckily for me, it wasn't a deal breaker for him. The hard core Suns fan let it slide which I guess is a big deal because apparently the Lakers are their main rivals. Since Eric has had season tickets I have had the pleasure of going to basically all of the home games. The stadium is nice, I have only watched basketball games at the Staples Center before, so it seems a lot smaller than I expected. I feel like that isn't a bad thing, it makes it more intimate (and the nosebleed seats aren't too bad). The halftime entertainment needs some help, but every once in a while there are good acts. The staff is very nice and the usher always remembers us and greets us like friends. We get to meet the players every year because we have season tickets so that is pretty damn awesome. The team is in its rebuilding years so it is interesting to see what they have planned. I admire the Suns fans that have hung in there during their crappy years (really crappy), I get it because the Lakers have their ups and downs too. The next draft could potentially be a game changer for the Suns for sure, so I am not counting them out just yet. They have put up new jumbo trons and Carl's Jr is now their sponsors so that's awesome because I love them. I love going into the Blue Moon Club because you get great seats, free food and free beer, can't beat that with a baseball bat! The team shop is great, I told Eric I was going to the bathroom and I had them make a custom jersey for him, and when we were walking past the team shop it was hanging up on display, last name in view, really made the surprise. We have our "house divided" games when the Lakers play the Suns and that brings the craziness, I try really hard to stay calm and control my anger issues lol, but its healthy competition. I will always be a Laker girl in my heart, but in second place are the Phoenix Suns.
