Center Court Grill - Chesapeake Arena

[SMS]

Just a warning...your experience might suck. LOL.

My wife got us tickets to the Thunder last night, and to keep things easy we decided to eat at the new Center Court Grill inside the arena. Access was super easy, parked at the old Ford dealership and walked across the street. They have a seperate entrance on the SW corner just for folks that have reservations at the Grill.

We arrived ontime for our reservation, were seated, and then sat for over 10 minutes in a not-crowded restaurant before someone even filled our water glasses and said hello. It was a few minutes more before a waitress showed up. The food was luke warm, bland and underwhelming for a place that fronts itself as a fine eatery for game goers. It's convenient, but if you want good eats before a game this might not be the place. Eat there at your own risk!

(Still had a great night, hard not to when accompanied by my beautiful bride!)

Hmmmm ... the special parking might make it worth everything else ...

So ... did you enjoy the game?

The game was a blast...we were sitting in the middle of a bunch of season ticket holders....the people watching and energy of those fans was nearly as entertaining as the game itself.

I absolutely used to hate the NBA and basketball in general, and I still detest some of the thuggery that is celebrated in that sport but OKC seems to be a little cleaner, more youth like, and they seem to have fun. That makes it enjoyable to watch, for me at least.
