I went once during Thanksgiving but last year got stopped on the circle walkway at halftime and told that since my tickets were in the above section, I was not allowed to walk around. Now I don’t make eye contact with the yellow munchkins. Seems crazy to have a big empty section next to the court.
The inner ring staff are silly, but all you have to do is go out to the outer ring and come up the next ramp or two and go straight down to bleachers.
