Title: The Garden Experience Thread
Post by: MattG12 on March 28, 2010, 07:39:00 PM
As I mentioned a couple days ago and have already discussed with a few people one here... I have decided to create a thread where people can share their experiences at the Garden. People can share stories, pictures, etc in this thread. This is not limited to Celtics games. If anybody goes to a Bruins game, a concert, or anything else at the Garden they can share that here as well. Also whoever goes to Fenway or Gillette first this year can create similar threads for those places as well.

Anyway, I won tickets to the Celtics/Kings game on Friday night by doing one of those trivia contests that Jeff sets up on here. As I've discussed with others I took my girlfriend, it was a first for both us to go to a Celtics game, though we had both been to the Garden before for concerts. We had a great time. The $80 tickets were completely unexpected. We were sitting right next to other people who also won their tickets on Celtics blog (Didn't catch their names?)...

I am excited to see pictures of people who gets great seats at games or get good pictures of Celtics players.

Edgar, I am hoping you put your pictures up from when you went... I never got to see those.  :-\

Well... that's all I'm going to say for now because I started "Gone With the Wind" on like Tuesday and I am determined to finish it tonight. Enjoy the thread everybody!

I can post some of my Celtics pics later but one of my ultimate Garden experiences was seeing AC DC in concert back in late 2008.  I had pretty amazing seats in the loge.

Yeah really cool thread... TP!

I'm going to try to upload the pics on my cell phone from going to the pre-season Celtics Vs. Nets game, but I have to find the cord to do it.

I gotta say there's some "regulars" at the games that I do love to see do their thing - in no particular order:

Grandpa/Santa - guy with the beige blazer and PP St. Paddy's jersey who gets going by punching his chest

Jack Black/Chicken Pecking guy - loves to dance and get the crowd into it - today he was wearing an Easter Bunny outfit and attempted to get courtside, hilarious watching him get rejected

Soulja Boy - no description needed

Bob Marley Guy - black guy with a jumpsuit that says "play bob Marley" love it

Aztec Gino - a sight to behold, in pea green outfit

Pea Green redhead suit lady - she's there a lot, doesn't do much, but love the suit

Feel free to continue this one..

Love those pics. I hope more people share pics of their experience @ The Garden....especially members of this blog who are also season ticket holders. Share your experience guys...through pics and words. :)

Soulja Boy - no description needed


Not sure who that is, but is it the young black kid that has the incredible dance moves? The crowd goes wild when that kid gets up on the big screen and deservedly so. Always funny when some other kid w/weak moves tries to dance next to him.

tis, he started it off by dancing to the Soulja boy song, and it's grown into a cultural phenomenon (heck there was an article in Boston magazine and he made it into my 2008 championship collage)

LOL. That kid and Aztec Gino are awesome. Not so sure about Jack black/pecking chicken guy. He seems to be more interested in getting up on the big screen than the actual games.

Opening Night last season.  Right before they filled the hole next to the 1986 Banner.

Good list.  Although I have a beef with Grandpa/Santa.  I believe his proper name is "professor Santa".

Today, Jack Black was wearing a Bunny Costume, and I have to say, I am impressed that a man of his ummm...girth...is able to dance that much, covered in fur, and not pass out.

A couple other regulars, who I don't think are quite as much fun, but always get a lot of airtime are "Hidden Gino T-shirt guy", and "Green Mullet guy".  Today, right after the game, Green Mullet guy was screaming about "Queen Lebron", as everyone else in the mens room laughed nervously and inched away.  Good times.

And then there is Super-man guy, and Super-man boy.  Haven't seen either of them in a while though.
