Man I tried
Showed up with tickets fourth row from the back. Row Q. Figured that was far enough back to stand up and howl a little.
I’m tall, sure, but it’s a Round 2 playoff game. I want to bring energy.
Then someone behind me tells me to sit down. There’s a four-year-old back there too, so honestly, I get it. But it completely took the wind out of my sails.
Spurs go on a huge run after that. Crowd’s dead. Yeah, sorry — no energy from me anymore. Hope everyone enjoyed the seated view.
It’s just hard to figure out how to be a fan here sometimes when people refuse to stand during a playoff game. I want Target Center to feel loud and alive. I want people howling.
But Minnesota crowds always seem pulled back toward sitting quietly and being polite. The gravity here is too strong.
Come on. Let’s show up for the team!!! I’ll try again next year awoooooo
