Last Sunday we went to see the Jacksonville Giants (ABA team, like the minor leagues for basketball) play the Orlando Kings. They were giving complimentary tickets to lawyers who brought their bar card, so we thought we'd check it out. We had great seats, but as Ryan pointed out, "It doesn't really matter because nobody is here!"
The Jacksonville Giants came to Jacksonville December 4, 2010 and it seems that nobody really knows they are here! Everyone we told had no idea that there was a ABA team and so I hope that they are able to advertise and get some people in there. We had a great time and it was an inexpensive way to watch professional basketball right in our downtown area. The dancers, Jacksonville Jewels, were entertaining as well as the various contests they had throughout the game for fans to win money. The only thing I thought was kinda lame was the mascot (Mr. Big? Really?) and the girls with the feather boas and painted faces who accompanied him... If you want to catch a game, you can go to their website: www.jacksonvillegiants.com for game times and ticket prices. (They range from $8-$32)
