INDIANA HAS NO CHILL (via The Players’ Tribune)
For the right price, you can get a ticket for any seat at a Pacers home game … except for a group of seats in Section 101. That’s my fan section, which I call Turner’s Block. (It’s a pun, get it?)
And here’s the deal: You can’t buy those seats.
No, no.
The fans in Turner’s Block don’t pay for their seats … well, not with cash.
They have to try out to get in.
And people do actually try out. Like, a lot of people. This year’s tryouts went down a few days ago. It’s one of the best days I have each year, and ultimately it reinforced something I’ve known for awhile: Indiana Pacers fans have absolutely, positively no chill.
And that’s what makes them the best.
