When I was a kid back in the '80s, the principal would come on the microphone in the morning and say that they have free tickets for the Pacers and if you want them come down and get them at the office. So I would go down and grab four or five just on general principle. This was in the Wayman Tisdale days. So we'd go to Market Square Arena, eat popcorn, drink Coke or whatever, and you could pretty much sit wherever you wanted because nobody else was there. Especially for us kids. No grow up really bothered with us. And I remained a Pacer fan until 1999/2000 when they lost to the Kobe/Shack Lakers in the Finals. And then I knew it was done. Over. And it's been over ever since.
