So the wife got 2 free tickets to the last game of the season for the Warriors. They had a great season, the 2nd best record never to go to the playoffs and so it was fan appreciation night.
They were playing the Seattle Supersonics and it was a tough game (or so it seems...not too sure they were playing all out). We left Fremont at 7:00 via the BART and we literally just changed drivers as Jake and I got out of the car and wifey got in and drove home. Jake was super excited as he was so restless on the train. He noticed that a lot of people were wearing Warriors gear. The A's were also playing at the Coliseum so there was a mix of commuters, A's fans going to the game and Warrior fans going to the game.
Tipoff was at 7:30 and we got to the Oracle at about that time. It's a bit of a hike from the BART station to the arena and by the time we got our food, Jake got a cheese pizza and I got a hot dog...we shared a diet Pepsi, and found our seats there was about 5 minutes left in the first quarter. Got to say, we got pretty good seats. It was an up and down game that the Warriors never led, coming as close as 4 points down. Jake, I think, had fun, but he was fixated for most of the game on having an ice cream. One slice into his pizza and he was done, begging for an ice cream for most of the game. The vendor had made his way completely around the arena before Jake finally got his frosted malt. He was a happy camper after that and I treated him to a small kid-sized basketball as a souvenir for his first pro-game. We hiked back to the BART with just about everybody at the game and I got me a $5 bootleg hat on the way there. We found seats in the packed car and got home close to 11 in the evening.
I think Jake had a blast as we think he was dreaming because he was shouting "Defense!" in his sleep.
Pictures to come...
