Technically I dated a Wolves dancer too. It was high school and she became a dancer after graduation, but still.

As far as first game, it wasn’t the dome. It was soon after they opened TC, and then think I might’ve been 10.

I went to this game - crazy number of fans. Pretty sure Jordan played - almost couldn't tell from my nose bleed seats. I do remember Tony Campbell taking a bunch of shots after grinding 20 seconds off the shot clock.

Did anybody go to the final four in the early 90's when it was here. The Fab Five were the bomb.
I had ok seats, but it was always cold in there.

Can I get cred because my first game was game 7? :( Too young to have been in the dome.

Went to one game at the Dome. They lost to the Lakers. Weird but my biggest memory from the game was seeing Chris Doleman and Hank Thomas there.

I was 3 in 1989, so I obviously wasn't there. My first memories of the team from childhood were the JR Rider years, and I really got into the team when KG was drafted.

1. What was the atmosphere like inside the dome?

2. What was the general buzz in town? When the team opened its inaugural season, was there a lot of excitement around town for it?

Nope. Too young. Got my lifetime Wolves fan pass stamped in '96. Born in 87, so I would have been about 8 or 9 when I became a true fan.

I have a vivid memory of watching an afternoon Bulls V. Pistons game on NBC on Sunday pre Wolves fandom.

I thought Grant Hill was rad as hell.

You can add an asterisk to it but they set the ALL TIME attendance record for the NBA for a season. Yes the city was excited and the North Stars were about to leave. F U Norm! Then the lotto worked it's magic and we got Christian instead of Zo or Shaq,

Quite an impressive list. Maybe we can all go to a game once we hit social security in a couple of years.
We can meet at the Seville :naners:
