Shooting From The Bowels of The Stadium

When the tourney rolled into Providence a few years back, I was shocked to find myself behind the home bench. Wasn't courtside, but close enough to get some good stuff nobody else did for features I wrote.

 

Beat writers get better seating than Gary Parrish?

 

A couple of Facebook sportswriter friends of mine posted photos from the Falcons press box Saturday. That's a long way away from the action to cover basketball.

That Lupica complained about his seat doesn't surprise me in the least, but he's not the first and won't be the last to complain about the accommodations. I've concluded that complaining is an occupational staple for sports writers.
