Sure, it’s called “buy some tickets”

Whereabouts are you from? How’d you hook up with the Pacers fandom? I’m always a bit amazed at how many overseas fans the Pacers have had and how they were hooked!

LOL - Indy boy, born & raised on the far Eastside,.. LOL - only overseas because of work & life events. Been a Pacers fan since a sweat drenched Stipanovich did a live interview on channel 4 after a big loss,.. that man could barely stand, had to stop to breathe to answer the reporters questions.

How about you?... How did you become a Pacers fan? =}

Born and raised in Noblesville before leaving the area. After time in Bloomington, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, we’re in Atlanta now. Parents were debut season ticket holders for the Pacers at the fairgrounds, and I grew up watching the team in the 80’s and 90’s on WTTV!
