Rose Garden..Need help from those who know.

by DuckinNC on Sep 19, 2010 9:59 AM PDT

I am meeting a friend of mine from Seattle for a game in the Rose Garden at the end of Nov. I have started looking for tickets to this game but realized that I know nothing about the Rose Garden site lines. I have read that there isn't a bad seat in the house. Is this true? Are seats on the lower level worth the price versus seats in the upper sections? What sections should I stay away from?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I think sitting between the baskets is makes for a much better view.

I’d rather sit in the 300 level on the halfcourt line, than in the lower level behind the hoop…

The lower bowl is worth the extra money unless you are behind the hoop I have sat in every price range and by far the best for the money is the 200 level from the corner to the middle great seats. But it you can afford to get lexus club seats definetly very good all you can eat food and great people.

Just don't sit in the last few rows of the 300 level behind the baskets.

In my opinion, the best value is the purple section (300 level sideline).

lower bowl corner!

They really are all pretty good

but the yellow corner 205, 212, 220, 227 strike me as pretty good value. Also the front rows of the green center court 300 level sec 301-02 and 318-19. Which game are you going to?

If you end up liking this idea, let me know

I have season tix in section 205. Let me know what game you are looking at in November – I can maybe cut you a deal

It is for the Oregon/Duke game

Thanks for the offer though.

If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.

If you like to stand up

and yell and scream. sit with us 300 level loudmouths.. If you plan on acting like you are watching golf with polite applause I would recommend the lower bowl.

Tired of the anti-lower bowl BS

Guess what Ragermack? I like to stand up and scream….yell DEE———FENSE and regularly yell at REFS, wave my hands, jump up and Hi-5 my section-mates on alley-oops, and have a GREAT TIME at the games. What would you think if I told you that I’m a STH in the “dancing lady” lower-bowl section 119?
So is it hasty generalization to say we ALL act like golf fans in the lower bowl? Now I could come up with several comebacks for your tired rant of how the upper-bowl fans are better/louder/younger; however, I will spend my energy rooting on the team I’ve loved for 30+ years.
Why don’t YOU and all your other 300 level cronies do the same? It’s about the Blazers right?

So here’s to the Upper-bowlers….KEEP Screaming for the Blazers, and we’ll try to get the others down here to raise the decibel level too!

GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!

down grade save some money and join the party, you don't have to stay down there, it's more fun up here anyway... never mind the 600 of our breathren licking their chops looking at your seat as you rise to think about giving it up....don't mind them....

The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out, burns out farms, and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.

any seat

except ones that are behind the basket… those are a lot harder to see whats going on.
but the rose garden is so small even having your back on the back wall is still okay

LETS GO BLAZERS!!!!!

I purchased season tickets for this year

and I have to say I can’t imagine paying the prices outside of the 300s. Awesome for you folks who can afford it but it makes my head spin. Of course plenty of people can say the same thing about any season tickets whatsoever. If price isn’t an issue I’d say any seat high enough where you can see the plays being set up are good. I don’t think I’d get the absolute lowest closest seats. You do get a sense for how huge and amazingly fast the athletes are from there though. End zone probably isn’t that great except for the 300s which are OK.
