Hopefully you got yourself something you like & that must have been a fantastic game to be at! I had to turn it off at the end of the 3rd - needed to get up for work & all... but what a great game!
It was a great game, even for a non-fan like me! I ended up just picking up a little wallet on a strap type thing at Coach, which I will probably re-gift to my sister... it fit the size requirements and I didn't end up spending a lot on something I'd rarely use. Security was much friendlier than I expected, maybe because our hosts were in the premium seats/Putnam Club, so we used a different entrance. I know I would not have been allowed in with a regular-size bag, but I think if the bag had been an inch too long it would have been fine.
Monday night games are brutal, though -- I didn't get to bed until 2:30 a.m.!
