Sat in the 6th row, center court, and IIRC the tickets were around $10 (?). My Dad was pissed I spent that much to "just go to a ballgame". But then he thought us spending $7.50 for the most expensive box seats at a Twins game was dumb too. 
Too bad it was the year after George McGinnis had moved on. Brown and Daniels were also gone. They did have Don Buse and Len Elmore. With Big Mac gone my friend's new favorite player was Darnell Hillman. |
Yes good seats were reasonably priced. Irving was amazing.
Darnell Hillman had the best fro in sports, even better than Oscar Gamble's.
I got to go to some games free because in the Fairgrounds Coliseum they would have a local high school band and ours was invited several times. I don't recall them doing that in Market Square Arena.
When I was a kid in Indiana about every fourth house had a basketball goal and ALL the basketballs were red/white/blue.
