re: NBA Draft Lotto Thread

AD was traded after the lottery though, and Griffin was still trying to talk him into staying, so that statement holds no weight


AD requested a trade 4 months before the lottery, signed with Klutch after having dinner with LeBron, the Pels restricted his minutes, and he wore a that's all folks shirt to his last game. There was zero chance he was coming back.

It's actually a very similar scenario if you believe the league is rigged. Psst...trade your star to our biggest market to play with LeBron and we'll give you a #1 pick with a "can't miss" prospect in the draft.

Was it rigged when AD requested a trade and we won the lottery?

Lol...we've won the lottery twice in the last 12 years with pretty long odds.

There are west club seats available to select on the seat selection website right now. Just have to have high enough priority to be picking right now.

Yeah, noticed that myself as well.

Those have always been visitors. But the red sections in the lower south endzone seem to have something strange going on. Specifically 405 right in the middle. Weird that there would be no availability in that section.

Does anyone know what day/time this week the selection process begins?

Did they move the visitor seats this year? Weird there's no availability in those lower SEZ sections, but the lower corner has availability.

MLBs blackout rules aren't really aimed at making fans attend the games in person or buy tickets. The blackouts exist to make you watch on that team's local broadcast. The Astros don't want fans in Texas, Louisiana, etc watching on MLB.TV when they can watch on the Space City Network (or whatever it's called) on TV because that hurts the TV numbers they use to sell advertising and devaules their product. The problem is that the TV situation for a lot of teams has changed so much recently, and the RSNs are going bankrupt, but MLB hasn't changed their policies to allow the blackouts to be lifted.

This was Jay's explanation in the post game interview last night. This was what the umps were talking to the league office about and was why Jay was upset...they were giving Tennessee's relievers extra time to warm because they had to check on the rule. If it had happened before the AB started, I think Tennessee would've had to make a change.

I'm all for stretching, warming up etc, but this full on infield practice LSU has going on right now is fricking ridiculous.

We didn't do the Dome Tour, but I wouldn't bother waiting in the long line to see in the inside of the church itself. Pretty underwhelming...probably the least impressive church I saw in Italy.

Visit the Basilica di Santa Croce. Michelangelo and Galileo are buried inside.

Piazzale Michelangelo is a must. Go at dusk, the views are breathtaking.

Agree with this. Just make sure you go to an actual bank and not a tobacco shop, convenience store, etc.

Did you read the article? They're talking about up to $5 million of public money and then LIV also kicking in some for facilities upgrades.

re: Ticket prices for 25-26

Posted by medtiger on 3/21/25 at 11:05 pm
Agreed. If they're not allowing them to renew because they resold most of their tickets, that's incredibly tone deaf. No one is making their money back reselling, much less making a profit, because the product sucks.
