Tomorrow's game @ the Nets will be my first Magic game I'll attend, with hopefully many more to come. :pray:

Just thought in light of my first, you seasoned veterans might like to share yours...

Going to the games is great.

I have many memories.

The best being 10 years ago when Nick Anderson hit a three pointer to beat the Lakers in Shaq's first game back since bolting to L.A.

While it won't be my first Magic game, I too will be attending the Nets/Magic game tomorrow. Nice to know we'll have a few Orlando fans in the Izod Center! Maybe we can make it feel like a home game for the Magic.

To that end, if you know any other Magic fans in the area that want to go, I have some extra tickets that I'm not using. Magic fans can have them for next to nothing... I'll sell them to Nets fans for about 10% more than next to nothing.

Oh, my first Magic game. It was actually this first game in franchise historty. I still have the ticket stub in glass that they gave out. I was just a kid, but I remember the Magic dancers like it was yesterday. Oh yea, and there was some guys playing basketball. Reggie Theus, Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles...

But, I was a young man starting to notice girls and I thought I was being so bad looking at the dancers. I am getting married on Sunday and I told my wife-to-be that my ultimate fantasy would be for her to dress up like a magic dancer (she is smoking hot)! She said she would try to find an outfit for me! :nod:

My first game was the Magic verses the Bulls in 1991. I went a Bulls fan and left a Magic fan. It was unreal to see Jordan in person, I remember Horace Grant missing a nasty dunk and it going all the way past half court in the air. Good times!!!

My first was when we played the Cavs, the year before Kemp was with them. I also saw them the next year when he was with them. I'm pretty sure the Magic won both games, but I don't remember anything about them.

I was lucky enough to see Larry Bird play in my first Magic game. I was maybe 7 or 8, so obviously I didn't really understand how great it was to watch him play. I just remember that he looked different from the other players who were playing well, but at that age, I couldn't really put my finger on it...

My first Magic game was 4 years ago which was Dwight and Jameer's rookie season. I got tickets through work and was supposed to pick them up at will call but they lost the tickets or something and I almost didn't get to see the game. Fortunately a nice lady came down from the office gave us some complimentary seats behind the basket. Penny had one of his only decent games of that season against us. Funny, now that I think about it, I can't even remember if we won the game or not. :roll:

Have a great time, and get there early when the doors open.

I think you can still go courtside for pre game warmups........

The first game I went to was in Nov of 2002... Magic vs. Lakers. Kobe and Tmac both put up 38 pts each. The game was very memorable for Tmac doing a fake and then a fadeaway that made Kobe break his ankles... and then the next play down Kobe drives to the hoop and gets a huge dunk and a Tech for hanging on the rim and slapping the glass. Magic won

My first Magic game was in 2002 I think...came over to watch us lose to the Spurs on a Sunday...thankfully we beat an Andre Miller led Cavs easily later in the week. Also saw us play the Hawks and Warriors a couple years back and us play the Cavs in pre-season in Reece Gaines, Keith Bogans and LeBron James' debuts.
