I park here for Penguin games, just don't tell anyone else https://g.co/kgs/1RxW2sj .. Lots are generally $20 for those and this one is 10 and it's a 5 minute walk to the arena. The Chatham Center garage is literally across the street from the arena so it's super convenient but if you get a bad spot you'll be stuck in the garage traffic for a half hour after. Duquesne's main garage is convenient too https://g.co/kgs/saEexPF

I too was going to recommend that garage. Where I typically park for Pens games, too, and have never had much trouble getting out after.

How high is that top level at PPG compared to Rocket Mortgage? Good Row C seats are pretty reasonable.

Interesting tidbit from the article about Freeman. "With 30 double-doubles this season, he’s one away from tying the NCAA record set by David Robinson of Navy in 1986."

He has 2 games this year with 9 rebounds, and another game with 8.

The seats I've been looking at are between the baselines. The Penguins virtual seat viewer makes them look not terrible, but it shows a big hockey rink, not a basketball court. I also know the scoreboard at PPG has been enlarged recently. I question some of the view from my seat photos since they can vary for the same section. Other photos are obviously from a number of rows up in the section.  The Rocket Mortgage viewer was close to spot on for my MAC tickets.

I would say a little closer. I think RMF lower level is bigger and the balconies are a bit further back as a result. It's close enough, I wouldn't say it's a material difference tbh

I saw this earlier and had to share it. I keep believing I appreciate Enrique as much as I can, but I still feel like I don't appreciate him enough (if that makes any sense). I'm just excited Enrique and this team has the opportunity again to play on this stage.

Zips eating real good tonight at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

The chemist is in the lab. Let’s see what he  cooks.

I see LeBron sent the Duquesne team new shoes. He publicly congratulated Jake Diebler.

 

Has the kid from Akron said anything about the Zips’ success? 

[ZipsFan31]

Here is my prediction: 

 

Akron 68 Creighton 65 

MVP of game is Freeman. His speed gets by their 7 footer as they think they don’t have to double and he makes them pay! 

X factor: Mikal Dawson, he must take and Make 3s

I’ve actually never watched basketball at PPG Paints. It does seem closer to me, but I’m comparing Penguins to Cavs, so not apples to apples.

Seeing how cheap tickets have gotten makes me regret even more that I couldn't get off work.

I'm still shocked that they posted a video of a made 3 at the end of the first half and then crickets for days. 

Their one remaining Betamax tape cartridge finally snapped and nobody knows where to get a new one.
