Hello Hello,
This past Sunday, myself and three other interns ventured out on a cloudy and bleak day in NYC to Madison Square Garden to support our New York Knicks. I knew I wanted to eventually experience the Madison Square Garden building, so when my friend Kevin mentioned going to a Knicks game at MSG, I instantly agreed, not to mention that the tickets cost only $8!
Now, although we sat in the nosebleed section of the stadium, the seats were not all that bad and we had a great view of the court. However, we had some real characters sitting around us. First off, a man no older than 30 was sitting a few rows in front of us, and despite the fact he was wearing a NY hat, he kept cheering for the mavericks! I wanted to walk up to him and say,
"Um, excuse me sir, but your rooting for the wrong team. Do you need me to explain how this whole basketball thing works."
Seeing him root for the opposite team was just to fun though.
Also, a man sitting one section over from us starting shouting "J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets" midway through the 3rd quarter. I'm not sure if he had drank to much, forgot where he was and mistook MSG for the Meadowlands or was somehow related to the man wearing the NY hat and rooting for the Mavericks. Nonetheless, he created some great entertainment as we witnessed the beat down the mavericks gave us. Above, you see a picture of the halftime score, and then of the 3rd quarter score. I was going to take a picture of the 4th quarter score, but at that point, I was to embarrassed to be at MSG rooting for the Knicks.
All in all, it was a great experience.
O and did I mention John McEnroe was sitting court side at the game.
