| - Going to see the Suns play (first time) was a great experience. I finally got to see Phoenix fans actual show up for a game and participate. Perhaps it's because the Suns have been here for about 40 years, and have established history and roots. Perhaps it's due the excitement Shaq-Diesel brings to the team, even though he is well past his prime years of skill. Either way, I was happy to see the crowd so into the game, and excited for the Suns energy and presence on the court. Since I am from Boston (wait, you didn't know I am from Boston?) I was rooting for the Celtics. :) Yes, a Celtics game! I was very excited to go to this game and see my boys in green slugging it out against the high energy Suns. I expected a high scoring fast paced game, with KG and Stoudemire going point for point. I was pretty disappointed that not only did the Celtics loose, but they looked like a High School team. It was a low scoring affair on both sides, and the Suns didn't look very comfortable yet with Shaq in the lineup. It was still a blast, and even though my date was a Suns fan, she just happened to wear Celtics colors. ;)
The Arena is cool, very easy to get to and park, and clean. The bathrooms are modern and their are ample amounts of vendors to buy all things you'd expect at the game. The opening sequence were the Suns are introduced to the crowd is pretty intense, and the energy stays constant the entire game. I didn't drink any beer, or eat any food, so I cannot comment on the Stadium's food offerings. Overall I got the impression the beer variety was lacking, as there was a lot of bud light floating around.
