That's awesome. What's it like up under there? I have seen some pics, is it a lot of wine and cheesers? I didn't realize when Keetch hooked me up that I could go under there, so like an idiot i kept going up the steps.
I'm thinking I left too soon, huh. Im glad you were able to meet some of the guys. It was nice getting to meet Keetch, Amp, and yourself. I had a great time for my first game! We'll definitely have to hang at a game again.

BigCat....I can't. I'm one seat and $150 per ticket from a backcourt pass. I go up the steps.
Bobcats Redemption?
cool stuff... most of the guys are really nice.Originally Posted by BIGCatBobcat
the backcourt is really not that special... a bar similar to the frontcourt club, a bunch of tvs and a restaurant like thing. a few panthers players generally wander around and there are free chips and salsa, before the game they recently introduced "free" buffet... easy enough to get high fives from the players

That is the gospel!!
And Keetch: I was just joking about the BOOOOO thing; like I told Amp, I figured it was your daughter that caused you to leave early.
And MattD is right-on with the Backcourt scene. It's really not my kinda thing at all insofar as hanging out with the people that are back there (I mean my beard was propositioned for chrissakes!!!); I don't know that I'd call them 'wine and cheesers', but they are definitely of the same species, as is indicated by many of them staying back there after halftime 'til a couple minutes left in the 3rd. Like most everywhere in the arena, the staff is great back there, but I don't care to rub elbows with the folk back there: give me the hardcore fan, not the socializing fan any day.
But yeah, I'm very impressed with how personable the guys are about coming out and hanging with the fans. There was absolutely no pretentions of self-importance from any of the guys I saw back there, and some, like Matt and Boris and definitely Lexy were more than happy to meet with the fans.
Hopefully what changes are made in the future, we'll continue to get not just good players but also good human beings because it makes it even more fun to pull for the Cats when they're represented by the type of guys on the team right now.
Michael Thompson is indeed awesome, and this was a great story! Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to get a hookup like that
I wonder if I could convince the players to hold a "Fine Ham Biscuit" sign in a picture or two lol
Wow so I am totally jealous right now. Sounds like you had a terrific time and MT needs a huge round of applause for setting all this up. Lexy sounds like a super cool guy and so does BD. And Natasha, damn son what can I say about that. Sounds like you had a terrific time and i'm sure you won't be forgetting that night anytime soon.
