"The traditionally buttoned down Boston Celtics are jumping on the NBA’s entertainment bandwagon, with plans for celebrity-style courtside seats and dancing girls," says this article. "High-rolling fans will have 16 perches - retailing from $1,250 to $1,500 per game - next to the players’ benches and along the court... It is a class of seats that has become popular with stars like Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles and Spike Lee in New York, and Rich Gotham, the Celtics chief operating officer, says he believes that Boston will be no exception."

Okay, now this just makes me sick. I remember in the 80s, it was the Showtime Lakers with their Hollywood fans against the workmanlike, blue-collar Celtics and their REAL fans. Now, Boston is trying to cater to the same kind of fan that their old arch-nemesis used to have. Boy, have times changed...

I agree with you 100% Lefty. Professional sporting events are not about the game anymore. What next? The Yankees replace Bob Sheppard with Eminem?
