Fighting culture of negativity, FIFA, and B.B. King: While We’re Waiting
June 2, 2015Cavalier Film Room: The MVPs
June 2, 2015The very popular watch parties at Quicken Loans Arena will not be free for the NBA Finals, like they were in the three previous rounds of the playoffs, the Cavaliers have announced.
For their NBA Finals matchup against the Golden State Warriors, watch party tickets at the Q will cost $5. Doors will open an hour before tipoff. All proceeds will go to two charities – Shoes and Clothes for Kids and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. Tickets to the watch party can be purchased by fans at Discount Drug Mart, The Q box office, or on Cavs.com. Even with the $5 price tag per ticket, there is still a six-ticket maximum per person.
From Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena CEO Len Komoroski:
“As the Cavs compete to bring an NBA Championship to our city, this is a very special time for all of us to reflect Cleveland’s championship spirit by helping those in our community who are in need. By working together with our fans, we have the ability to create a significant impact with two very worthy local charities, Shoes and Clothes for Kids and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. We’re looking forward to filling up The Q and making an #ALLinCLE difference!”
In their series against the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavs watch parties were beginning to sell out. Whether the new $5 price is to raise money for a good cause or prevent people from getting six tickets (the maximum) and only using a couple of them, the fact that the Cavaliers are giving all proceeds to charity is heartwarming.
Whether it is being able to watch the game on the Humongotron, listening to Fred McLeod and Austin Carr announce the play-by-play, the timeout and intermission festivities on the court, or just being with thousands of other Cavaliers fans while watching the game, watch parties at the Q are the place to be for all Cavs away games this coming series.

I’ve already ok’d it with the wifey, if the Cavs are on the verge of…we won’t mention it…we’ll be making the 12 hour trek up to the shores of Lake Erie.
I’ve already secured babysitters, although my trek is a fraction of yours. There should be a designated Blawg Pound section.
Yeah tell her to leave the window open for party time!!
