And, once again, as I approached the box office I saw a group that would probably have extra tickets leaving the box office. I asked if they had an extra and the guy handed me a ticket.<\/p>\n<p>I never even looked at the ticket to see my seat location. I walked into the arena and planned to sit wherever when I noticed the ticket said Section 1, Row 1. I figured this must be good a good thing. And, it was. I was in the first row on the court \u2013 the first time I have ever sat courtside.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">San Antonio Silver Stars at Chicago Sky<\/span><br \/>\nThe Sky opened up an early lead and never relinquished it crushing the Silver Stars 88-61. With her third quarter rebound, Chicago guard Dominique Canty became the ninth WNBA player to have at least 2500 points, 900 rebounds and 900 assists.<\/p>\n<p>As was the case last year, the arena was full of kids with their respective camps making the arena much louder than usual.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Post Game Dining<\/span><br \/>\nAs usual I parked for free in the shopping mall parking lot adjacent to Allstate Arena. However, since it was camp day the concession stand lines were all long the entire game. So I decided I would eat after the game at one of the many options in the mall. I chose Culver\u2019s since it was fast and they served burgers and milkshakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year the Chicago Sky hosted camp day at the UIC Pavilion \u2013 a Wednesday afternoon game in July.
