Question
Here's sort of an odd question but figure you might know. In watching some of the Celtics home games on DVD from the NBA Dynasty collection. I always noticed there were two females in attendance. Their seats were courtside behind one of the baskets. One of them always had Kelly Green in her dress attire and was once shown on a televised game dressed in green pointed leprechaun shoes waving a large Celtic banner during the Boston/Hawks Game 7 in 1988. They can be also be spotted in Celtics Vs Pistons playoff Game 5 1987 holding 2 out of the 5 letters in the word "CHOKE" when Laimbeer was shooting free throws in the first quarter. They were also shown televised at playoff games during the 1981 series against Houston and 1984 Finals against the Lakers. Are these types of Season ticket holders still attending games at the TD BankNorth Garden After almost 20 years?

Answer
This is a tough one ... At first I thought you were talking about famous female Celtics fan Rita Kissane, whose homemade signs and banners were well-known in the old Boston Garden during the 1980s. However, her seats were up in the balconies, not courtside.

I'll try and do a little more research to see what I can find ...
