    I'm going to tonight's Rockets/Bucks game, and all the games I've been to in the past, people have pink or yellow passes which allow them to stay at Compaq after the games to get autographs and pictures. How do you get these passes?

    Are you sure the games you have been to in the past weren't the annual pre-season Rocket scrimmage? They have it once before every season and play a game against each other (rigged to where Carlos Rogers hit the game winning three for the "blue team" a couple of years ago :D), but the first so many fans get different colored passes that can be used at the end of the games to get autographs from the Rockets player(s) that have that colored pass (and damnit, I've gotten every single player, even Devin Gray and Sean Colsen, the Rockets have had the last 3 seasons at these events, EXCEPT Francis :mad: ). It's usually in the Compaq Center, but last year it was in some nifty little place they set-up close to the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown. Anyways, I have never heard of those kind of passes being at actual games. The players usually have more important things to do after real games, whether it's preparing for the next game, getting some rest, or catching a plane to their next game.

    Yea, the last game I went to was a regular season game against the LA Clippers, and I just snuck in after security tells everyone who doesn't have the passes to leave; I saw Darius Miles come out in his street clothes signing autographs. I don't think the Rockets come out there though...

    The passes your talking about are press passes. I'm not sure how you get them but one of my friends has a couple because his wife works for channell 11. You can also get them from the players or I think anyone else authorized to be down there.
