Took the Plunge

This die-hard Timberwolves fan finally took the plunge and purchased season tickets for next season. The 10 game weekend pack to be specific. I'm not in a position as far as free time is concerned to go to all 41 games. Also, the Wolves haven't played well enough for me to fork over that much cash.

So why did I decide to make a season ticket commitment when the Wolves were only able to muster 24 wins this year? Well, there are several reasons that I will share.

The biggest reason is that Wolves season tickets have been a goal of mine for roughly the last 12 years. Back then, the Wolves had just started to become successful and had a promising future. I wanted to be a part of that. Over the years, time, money, and the state of the Wolves themselves have always delayed that goal. But the goal was still there.

Ticket prices have been cut to their lowest level in quite some time. I was able to get 2 tickets about 10 rows up in section 205 for $220 for the 10 game weekend package. While those aren't great seats, they are good enough for me to test out being a season ticket holder. Maybe if the Wolves would show some more ability on the court, I would have shelled out for something a little better.

Finally, I still have hope that things will eventually turn around, and I want to be one of the true supporters that is there for the beginning of something good. Maybe the Wolves will have the good fortune of landing Rubio or Griffin in this year's draft and will be next year's overnight success. Or maybe they will regress even more. If that is the case, I may only be a "one season" ticket holder.
