Nice blast from the past, thanks FelixMantilla. For two seasons right around then (maybe ‘81-82 and ‘82-83?) my friend and I got “Bird Packs” — sets of sixteen tickets in the upper balcony for ... wait for it ... $96. I think maybe it went up to an exorbitant $104 in the second season. Came in the mail in a perforated sheet, like stamps. I remember carefully tearing them and stacking up them up chronologically. Felt like the best Christmas present ever.
So many great memories from those seasons, but one that sticks out was seeing wunderkind Ainge getting up shots pre-game before his actual NBA debut. Rapt attention in the second balcony...
