A "Suite" Time

The final game for the Utah Jazz for the season.

Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets (107-103)

Wells Fargo has a suite at the Energy Solutions Arena and me and Trav have been lucky enough to get to go to a preseason Jazz game this year and this game.  I was offered the tickets at about noon the day of the game and we were both really excited that we got to go again.  Even though the Jazz started off the season awesome and then have slowly struggled while losing Jerry Sloan and D-Will, we were hoping they could atleast pull out a win for the last game of the year because they didn't make it to the playoffs.  They didn't let us down!!!  With the rookie Gordon Hayward scoring a career high of 34, they won!

It is so fun to sit in the suite because you get a nice free meal with the best vanilla ice cream EVER for dessert. You also are at center court looking towards the team benches, and President Monson is usually sitting in the suite just to the left of this one.  We got to see him again.  The first game we went to this season he winked at me, and this game me and Trav waved and he smiled and waved back.  It is unfortunate we didn't get to actually shake his hand, but I am sure he wanted to enjoy the game just as much as we did. 

Because it was the last game of the season they did a fan appreciation ball toss after the game.  They were throwing out these balls that were signed by the players.  Apparently they sling shot this up to us because it came at a rapid rate and I got it.  I was surprised to see it was signed by Jeff Hornacek!!(He is the shooting coach for the Utah Jazz). We had a great time at the game and we would like to thank Wells Fargo for letting us go!
