We got 4 tickets to attend the Harlem Globetrotters at the Consol, Energy Center.
We came early to participate in the initial activities by the Trotters with the kids. This was great, but out of the blue, the organizers start cutting the lines and we only were able to get a couple of autographs. That was Ok. We got into our seats early and get food. Then I realized they were not using the whole Center, but half of the center seats were used for the event. So, by the time for the show was supposed to start, the seating area available was not even half full???
It is interesting, because the seats were not that expensive, they were offering special family packages and I was sure the place was to be at full capacity. I was a kid not so long ago and I attended twice the Harlem Globetrotters shows and always was a full house event. It might be possible that Pittsburgh has no basketball team so basketball is not an attractive sport??? It could be related to the fact that the Pirates were in town and that pulled the people away from the Trotters???
I don't know, but I can tell you this, my kids got bored by half time and they ask me to go back home. Perhaps, the Globetrotters are totally out of sinc with the new generation???
