I bought a package deal for lower level tickets to any one of the remaining home games. Just wondering if the experience up there is any good?

It was my first NBA experience and although I am not that big of an NBA fan, I had a good time. Make sure to get the BBQ chicken nachos.

Yes its something fun to go do downtown. I usually go when they are playing another team that is pretty good or has some good players that I want to see play cause the Grizzlies are horrible this year. Be sure to get a program and take advantage of the coupons inside like the buy one get one free at texas de brazil if the grizzlies make 10 3's or something like that.

Been to 4 this season at the Forum. We've sat upperdeck sideline and in the club level. Great time at all, especially when Rudy hit the game winner against orlando as the clock expired on Halloween night........

My father in law gets us free tickets to the Pepsi Suite basically whenever we want. Those things are first class. Plus, the food is paid for courtesy of Pepsi. If you've never been, it's well worth it just for the experience... I love going, even when they suck

but I've been to 3 games and had a lot of fun. Just don't expect to see TWO good teams playing. I echo everyone else's comments on this thread, particularly about the BBQ Chicken Nachos. Hells yes.

One of the greatest things about the games is that something is always happening. There is no stop in the action whether it be promotions, dancers, halftime bands, etc. I am not a big NBA fan either but have a lot of fun at the games. My company has club level seats but when we go we usually just sit in one of the bars on either end and get drunk.

And Pimp Doggy, I was there for that game too. Probably will be the best Grizz game all year.

1. Pre-party at Alfred's. $2.00 longnecks before the games, and then you can walk out of the fire exit in the back and you're right at the stadium entrance

2. For a decent beer, go to Jack Daniel's bar just past the front lobby. Same price as all other vendors but they have Sam Adams and a few other good beers.

3. As others said, get the BBQ nachos. About the only thing you can buy there that is worth every penny.

4. It may only be on the weekends, but beer and some cocktails are somewhere around $3 after 9:00 at Jack Daniel's bar.

Other than that, I think you'll have a good time. It's definitely more about food, drinks, and entertainment than good basketball.

had a good time and will go back again. Everybody says BBQ nachos but mine had so much grease it was swimming. You will have a good time.
