B and I went with some friends to watch the Chicago Bulls beat the Heat in the Madhouse on Madison (The United Center) this past weekend. It was the first live NBA experience for both of us, and we’ll never forget it. And Since Flat Stanley flew in all the way from American Fork, UT, we thought he might enjoy the game too.
Just behind Stanley, you can see the gigantic remote-control bull that flew around the United Center dropping off assorted Bulls paraphernalia.
After sugaring up on Twizzlers and Starburst, it didn’t take too long for B to figure out that it was okay to MAKE SOME NOISE – and for everyone else to figure out that they’d better plug their ears when he did! He didn’t hesitate to shout out loud every time the Bulls scored, and to tell the Heat to “MISS! MISS! MISS!” every time they stepped up to the free-throw line. I expected him to wear out around half-time, but he was cheering the loudest at the end of the 95-91 Chicago Bulls win over the Miami Heat.
In anticipation of the game, B made a sign to bring to the game to help cheer the bulls on. And also because someone said it might help him get on TV. We didn’t get on Jumbo Vision, and it’s too bad because this is a real classic from the Bulls newest fan:
Go BULLS!
