AT&T Sportsdeck (Birthday gift)

[Corey]

Hey guys, I realize this might get moved to the tickets forum but its more of a general question

Im going to get my girlfriend tickets for the Warriors game. Steph is her favorite player and they're my favorite WC team, so I can handle shelling out for tix. I know someone that has a game plan for the sportsdeck and he's willing to give me a good deal on the Warriors game.

Just wondering if any of you have experienced games from there / would you recommend it? I'm mostly turned on to it for the drinks and unlimited appetizers, as well as getting in the arena earlier than normal tickets.

It's my girlfriend's first Celtics game and I want to make sure she has a good time. Any advice?

I've sat there a few times, there are pros and cons. For the true Celtics fan I think you would prefer to sit on the side of the court because the Sportsdeck is up behind the hoop making it not so great to see the action. The appetizers are decent, nothing great, it is nice having your own place to hang your coat and get a drink, it is more or less a full bar which you don't get anywhere else in the arena. The drinks are pathetic and crazy expensive but that pretty much goes for the whole arena, I think it was $13 for an IPA. The actual seats are more like stools with backs to them, they are fine but for some reason the acoustics are weird because and it is much harder to talk to the person you are with than regular seats. Overall they are obviously good seats but it always bothers me that they are premium priced but seriously far from the court. I think the club seats on the side of the court are less expensive and way better for diehard fans who just want to watch the game but if you are there for a casual occasion with your girl Sportsdeck might work good for you and the bathrooms are very close.

I've sat in the club seats the last couple of games I've gone to.  Not that much more expensive, but more comfy, with more amenities and less crowds for vending, bathrooms etc..access to the hall of fame.  Seat side service if you're into that.

No early access where I was.

Have not been in those seats for about four years, but I think there is early access
