Josh's boss (the owner of the Provo Kneaders) had tickets to the Jazz game on Wednesday and invited us and another couple from Kneaders. It was so much fun. We decided to make a big date out of it.
We got up to SLC around 4:30 and ate at one of our favorite places (introduced to us by Joe and Karen); Tony Caputo's.
I think I've mentioned it before. We both get the same sandwich every time and a lemonada (sparkling lemonade) to go with it. We ate our sandwiches and then did some shopping in the market that's connected to the restaurant.
We love to buy meats and cheeses there and make Italian style pizza on our grill. I know I've posted about that before. So we bought some meat, fresh mozzarella, pesto sauce, some jam and some fun drinks. After we were done there we drove over to the Gateway Mall which happens to be right across the street from the Energy Solutions Arena where the Jazz game was so we got awesome parking right in front. We walked around the mall while we waited for the game to start. We met everyone in our group at the will call booth and then got directed to our seats. This was my first NBA game and I don't think I could ever go again if it wasn't like this. We had studio box seats. We had our own booth with room service, a mini kitchen and bathroom.
And I thought it would feel like we were really removed from the game, but it didn't. It felt like we were right there in the action. It was so fun. Unfortunately, the Jazz lost in second overtime but it was still intense and super fun. I'm so glad we got to go. Neither Josh or I had ever been to a Jazz game.
Since the game went into second overtime it was pretty late when we got out and we had to drive back down to Provo so we headed home. Plus, nothing is open past 10 or 11 in the valley on a Wednesday. Ha. But it was a great night!
I am really jealous! We looked into getting tickets for a Jazz game next month but the tickets cost so much that we quickly gave up on that idea!! It looks like you guys had so much fun!
ReplyDeletecool that you watched from a booth, sounds like a really fun night.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Mark and I got free tickets to a Jazz game once while living in SLC. We had a blast too.
