And with that, fans stayed on their feet as the banner was raised, and TNT hosts on hand for the season opener offered nothing but praise and respect for a team they\u2019d taken lightly going into the title series back in May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans got even more fun with a whole festival outside the arena before the opener, featuring bands, games to play, food and drink, and more. Jesse Duran was there with his adult son\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
