Fan/Game Experience Extra gift?

Hi did your household end up with multiple items during the swag giveaway after the game? I was so close to scoring a pair of shorts but they were told to stop giving them to the people waiting in section 17 right when I had my chance. Please if you got lucky and got multiple things please spare a pair of shorts to an unlucky gal. TYIA!

I just bought a pair at the merch booth for $12 yesterday. They had a bunch after the game.

Oh wow! I stayed in the arena to watch the players come out and do autographs even though I didn’t plan on waiting in those lines. I didn’t even think about what was happening out there. What a steal!

The entire merch booth was 40% off. Before the game I got a sweatshirt and hat and they didn’t have my size shorts out. After the game I was like, let’s check it out once more and they had my size in the shorts!

That’s awesome! I’m not much of a jersey person but those shirts are 🔥. I couldn’t believe they ended up giving some away for free.

I didn't even realize 😅 I might've tried to weather the line and get something if I knew but I swear there was nothing that even mentioned that in the store

I can only assume they'll be clearing stuff out online and locally too soon though... I did get some items that were on clearance at the Wal-Mart already before the game lol

Exactly! I attended the game alone and was overwhelmed with it being the last game so I didn’t leave my seat until I was asked to at the end. Bummed I missed out on a great deal especially since the online store doesn’t have the same offerings. I’m going to keep searching for these on court shorts though.

I really appreciate you all not being mean to me about this post lol. I rent a car and drive to games from Boston and have always dreamed of owning a pair of those on court shorts but never imagined they’d be so limited because my team is no more ;(

I sadly don’t. I was lucky enough to score one pair (Nell angloma is an angel), but I saw kids literally grabbing insane amounts from the boxes. I would post on the ct sun facebook group, you might have better luck there!

I’m so glad you walked away with something!! I loved seeing how excited these parting gifts made everyone.

And that’s exactly why I made this post because people around me had multiple things even though Sun staff were trying to enforce one per person. Just hoping someone is content enough with what they have to pass up some shorts. I don’t have FB anymore but may have to reactive in pursuit of these shorts lol.

Yeah I think it’s worth reactivating or making another just for the Facebook group because people are so nice on it and constantly are giving away some of the giveaways, or helping people out who post they are in search of something. I’ll DM you the group

Aww this is so encouraging! I’ll definitely give it a go. Thank you so much.
