The first thing you notice right away is that there are about as many people in the stands for the pre-game shootaround as there were in the 3rd quarter of the Clippers-Nets game we attended in the 2010 feature. By the 2nd quarter (though not at all the 1st, this is an L.A. game, after all), the stands were packed. Even in my nosebleed seats, I witnessed several heated arguments about people poaching each others' seats. Suffice to say this would not be an issue for the 2009 Clippers.
