Want to be a Red Rowdy?
Jeff Van Gundy was on Charlie Palillo's KBME-790 program touting a Rockets promotion designed to give the Rockets some semblance of a home court advantage, which Van Gundy says has been lacking in recent years.
Here are the details from the Rockets website:
Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy and his team want the most passionate red-and-white fans in Houston inside Toyota Center on a permanent basis.
Are you willing to prove that you're one of them?
The organization will hold open auditions on Saturday, Aug. 26 for fans to earn a chance to win season tickets for the 2006-07 season. The winning fans will be seated in the team's new "Red Rowdies" section!
The fun will begin at 9 a.m in Toyota Center. It will be a no-holds barred event where anything goes. Each participant will have 30 seconds to be as outrageous, creative and noisy as possible. The name of the game - Exude Rockets pride!
A select number of rowdy, crazy and energetic fans will receive the grand prize of full season tickets to attend all Rockets home games for the 2006-2007 season.
On Palillo's program, Van Gundy indicated the section would include 50 people total. Are there still 50 hardcore Rockets fan in this city?
UPDATE (08-27-2006): I was being tongue-in-cheek, but only 60 people turned out according to Jeff Balke. I would have expected triple digits at least.
