So kinda funny story, after attending the semis and championship game. The Crown clearly wanted to do everything they could to make it seem like more people were at the game on TV than there were.
I didn't realize this fully during the semis since we already had front row court side seats, but today at the finals, around when the game started, they had a guy wandering around the GA seats giving away unsold courtside tickets for free to try to fill them up.
Also, the GA sections on the side behind the benches (which is seen more on TV) were slightly cheaper than all the other GA seating (the whole arena aside from court side and suites were GA, for those unaware).
Not necessarily clowning on them, as I get the hustle, its just funny (especially turning down free courtside seats because the view isn't great unless you're front row with your feet on the court). I have to say that given what the Crown was working with, the experience at the event in person was well put together between the graphics, the MC, and such.
...just wish OU hadn't crumbled twice today to give this one away, but its basically just like losing a non-playoff bowl game in football now, doesn't mean much.
