This was the first basketball game attended with my daughter. We had fun. We are looking forward to our second playoff series between the Storm and Mystics.
Great arena, huge crowds and lots of entertainment. The two teams were amazing to watch; so much skill on display. The crowd participation was incredible. I would totally recommend this venue (semi final basketball game) to anyone. Really great for the kids too. Plus Key Arena has some good food and drinks. What's not to like.
The Seattle Storm were fun to watch. They blew an 18 point lead only to tie in regulation but came back to win in overtime. My only regret was the purchase of a hamburger, which was cold, and I mean cold. It was worst hamburger I have ever attempted to eat. I didn't finish eating it it was so bad. The bun was mush.
Great seats for a great game. Seeing up close for a second victory. Great crowd for overtime win. Full of superstars.
You need to see these amazing woman play ball! What great seats and such a fun family event.
I hadn’t been for several years, since the last championship, but the Storm crazies are alive and well. It’s still a high energy environment with elements you don’t see at NBA games, such as the Doppler train, Dopler leading (primarily) kids around the court, hands on the shoulders of the person in front, which continues to amaze me as to how disciplined the fans are to participate, then clear the floor so that play can resume, the envy of child care providers everywhere! The finesse of the woman’s game is also enjoyable, especially watching the amazing Sue Bird and the stellar cast assembled around her. They had a singer at halftime, maybe because it was a playoff game, instead of my favorite halftime activity that has wider appeal: dogs racing from one end of the court to the other and back. Still, my first-timer and dog lover who accompanied me enjoyed her first-ever pro basketball game!
The Storm is a fun, clean, family oriented way to have a blast. The game was exciting, the fans are crazy fun, and the team is a talented group of brilliant athletes! Worth every penny!
Fantastic game. Surprised my daughter with tickets and had a blast! These gals have some serious, serious game. Parking was a breeze, drove down from Bellingham and the whole event from start to finish went perfectly. Highly recommend taking in a game if you can.
Key Arena is very convenient since it is in Seattle Center. Catch the monorail and you are there. Large. Well lighted.
The game itself was great. However, we could not tolerate our seats (Row 1 upper level) because KeyArena has a concrete block/rail surrounding the front of Row 1 at the upper level. This prevents sitting back in your seats. You must lean forward and overlook the concrete block/rail. NOT COMFORTABLE at ALL. We moved to an open seat in order to enjoy proper seating.
It’s time to join the cause—thrilling to be part of her-story and ours. I never thought I’d see it happen—lines of noisy, excited women, men and children waiting to see professional women who are sooooo competitive, grossly underpaid, trashed by the internet trolls, ignored by mainstream media, and truly humble and decent people. And once inside, the shared love of this beautiful game lifts the roof, and the soul. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this remarkable story, and bring excitement, excellence and joy into your life.
I took my 10-year old daughter to her first Storm game. We loved watching the Storm play. My daughter wants me to get her a Sue Bird poster for her bedroom wall. The game was so much fun to watch. As someone who was a high school girls varsity basketball coach for 25 years, I really love watching Sue Bird play as well. My daughter, who, up to this experience put softball/baseball as her favorite sport, because of experiencing the exciting atmosphere of the game, is now excited about basketball and is looking forward to playing this year...and wants to go to more games. We might be future season ticket holders. The only negative element...and it's a big one...was the poor management of the Key Arena outside of the basketball court. The people running the arena seemed to be ill-prepared for the size of the crowd. We arrived at the doors of Key Arena 20 minutes before the start of the game. There was disorganization and lack of direction/information. Lines were backed up to the top of the steps. People who had "360"...a purchase that was intended to allow them to bypass lines and get them quickly thru the doors of the arena, were waiting along side of the rest of us. The wait for all of us took too much time. We barely made it to our seats in time for the game to start. Concession lines were horrible too. It being a hot day, my daughter needed something to drink at the arena. However, because getting into the arena took so long, we didn't have time to stand in a long line to get a drink and still make it to our seats for the start of the game. At the end of the 1st quarter, my daughter went to the concession stand to get the drink she desired. She stood in line so long, she missed the entire 2nd quarter of play. She stood in line until the middle of halftime before getting a bottle of Sprite that cost over $5! The tickets cost too much to end up to end up missing that much of the game just because she wanted to purchase a ridiculously over-priced soda. Why so few concession stand? Why not hire vendors to walk among the crowd selling items, like the other sports events do, so a customer doesn't have to miss any of the game action? Do better Key Arena management. The Storm deserve a first-class area for their fans. This game was first class. The organization and operation of the Key was far from being first class. While I highly recommend going to see the Storm play. I would warn the potential spectator to get to the Arena really...especially if you plan to purchase food or drink. Get there early enough to have time to stand in the slow-moving concession line and still have time to get to your seat by the opening tip. .
Arena is really old. The food selection is very limited. You have to get up to get your food. No food service in the lower level seats. Traffic was terrible after the game.
My only bad comment is that Key Arena needs a serious upgrade and renovation. The seats are definitely old and used. The cup holders are more like circles in an arm rest that you pray holds your cup. The arm rests don’t even stay up. The seats are not chubby people friendly. It’s a shame for the Storm to have to play in. Not as bad as Memorial Stadium for the Seattle Reign. But that’s a whole different story.
Great family atmosphere,great team to watch and friendly staff working the event.
I don't get into Seattle much but thought a Storm game would be a fun date night with my wife. I am so glad we made the effort to come over from the Peninsula. We parked on Bainbridge Island, took the ferry, had a nice dinner and walked to the Key arena from downtown. The venu is small enough to feel intimate and get good views but large enough for the fans. I bought really good seats for once, 3rd row, center court. The people around us were all very nice.There was great audience participation and we won which made the experience even better. The tickets were easy to download and the web sit was easy to navigate. I was sent many reminders not to forget that I had purchased tickets. Overall it was a fun filled evening away from the farm.. Thank you.
Fun, affordable sporting event. Family friendly, good team.
Did not see this coming! Best basketball season underway—this game was a thrilling nail biter. Very physical, every play counted. Crowd did not sit down last 5 minutes. Best value for the dollar I have had in years.
A lot of fun watching the Storm play. This game went into overtime. Great game and great seats! Fun for our whole family ages from 6 years old to 73!
I bought my tickets months ago, anticipating Kelsey Plum would be a big scorer by late in the season making this an exciting game - and I was not disappointed. Our Storm went up early then lost the lead and trailed by a few points most of the game. With about 8 minutes to play we were 8 points down and Jewel Loyd, Brienna Steward and Sue Bird had not scored their usual point totals - I was excited to think they'd pull it off. And they did, gained the lead, ran the clock down ... then Kelsey Plum tossed up the game-tying 3-pointed leaving only 0.8 seconds - overtime here we come. But the officials, who had done a lot of poor calls throughout the game, reviewed her shot deciding her foot was on the line so the Storm was Up By One Point with less than one second to play and possession. They inbounded, ran the clock out and won. A very exciting basketball game - thanks Storm!
