Was anyone down by Rodman in 101? What was THAT like? We were about 25 rows behind him and it looked like he was having a ball.[url][/url]

    We were about six rows from him. Seemed really accessible. Was a nice distraction.

    Rodman was about 5 rows behind me...I was able to shake his and congrulate him on making the Hall of Fame...He was really cool with all the fans.....He was shaking hands and letting everyone take pictures....

    This probably was my biggest highlight of the show....He is my all time favorite nba player....Was amazing to be able to meet him in person...

    He isn't as tall everyone thinks he is....He was list 6'8" in his playing days...But, from me standing next to him....He seems to be around more like 6'6" or just a barely over that...Which makes what he accomplished his carreer even more amazing....

    It's pretty cool that he's wearing Black, Red, and Yellow.

    Btw, he was there again tonight, this time looking like he wasn't having quite as much fun. Although, he was bombarded as soon as he entered section 101 and snuck out a side door until PJ came out. I kind of felt bad for him. This time he sat in the way back of 101 w/ people that were also hanging with Chris Chelios' crew (he was right in front of us).

    You think Rodman was F5ing the shit out of his computer several months ago?

    Being able to meet Rodman Saturday was my biggest highlight of the whole weekend....Don't get me wrong...Pearl Jam really stepped it up Sunday night....Saturdays show wasn't all that great for me....Sunday you could tell the band was really enjoying playing and had a lot of energy...Saturday show seemed to be the opposite....

    I am die hard pearl jam fan..But, Rodman is still my all time favorite NBA player....This being my first time ever meeting him person just makes it my biggest highlight...

    He stood about two rows in front of me on Saturday. He was really into the show and the songs, singing along to just about everything. He was also accessible and talked to everyone around him who approached him. Thought I would've been slightly pissed if a gigantic NBA player just walked up and stood right in front of me the whole night.

    Thought it was kind of funny that he kept asking to go onstage on Saturday (my friends were right behind him), but apparently he was so drunk that PJ security was worried about a repeat of Dallas '98. Would have been interesting to say the least. If you can track down a video of that Dallas '98 show, it's great to see just how awkward a super messed up Rodman made a PJ show for several songs.

    I was a few seats down from him most of Saturday night. He was very cool. His buddies were also super-cool - they shared brews with me, etc. It seemed to me he wanted to take in the show once it started, and his buddies were definitely trying to help out by keeping an eye out for him. I'll say this - being that close made me realize just how many people were clamoring for his attention. It was pretty nuts. He handled it well, I thought. Very cool experience, and my opinion of Rodman is much better now than before.
