For family night this week we went to the Celtics-Jazz game at the TD Banknorth Garden. The Celts won 100-91 for their fifteenth strait win. We decided to get into the Boston Spirit of things and Cheer for the Celtics. Which was funny because whenever the Jazz would score, out of habit Patrick would cheer and then look around and say, I mean Go Celtics. The Blue and purple team have always been the "good guys"... its hard to fight old habits.
We had planned on leaving the game early whenever Alex got tired of the game. Well that never happened. He loved it and watched the entire thing. Only at the end when there were a lot of time outs did he get frustrated. He prefers to see the ball moving on the court. So did the crowd. they were shouting "It's all O-vah!" I couldn't believe Alex's focus he would get frustrated when we would distract him from the game by taking pictures. When we first arrived he was in shock... wait I get soda, french fries, I get to watch a ball bouncing, and I can use my outside voice indoors? COOl! (He must have said cool a hundred times in the first quarter.
I think that this picture makes it pretty clear where our seats were. These Banners were eye level. However, I have to say that we had an amazing view of the game. The Garden has really steep stairs so the veiw of the game is actually really good. Patrick carried Alex up all those stairs from the subway to the top row of the arena in the backpack. And yes we sat on the TOP row. I think that work out will help him be ready for ski season. 
I am so glad we sat in the "bloody-nose" section... which I think should be renamed the "Die-hard" section. We sat behind Russell the most Bostonian Sports fan I have ever met. And of course he was rough and unkempt, but he was loud and he loved Alex. The camera guys know the regulars and it is a big deal to get on the jumbotron. Russell helped Alex get on the jumbotron two times. Once while doing the peanut-butter-jelly-time dance. The feeling of the game was amazing. Everyone was so into it. Dancing the whole time and shouting D-fence! We even got Alex to shout defense once. I am so glad we took him. it was an awesome experience.
