Strolling in during the first half was none other than former Sacramento Kings guard Bobby Jackson. Despite being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies this summer, Jackson was at ARCO with his two children, supporting the Monarchs' efforts in the WNBA Finals.

Tracy's "2005 Is All The Way Live" poster included 34 batteries and 170 lights. She originally thought of the idea to use lights for a sign when the Monarchs staged a contest in 2004 which asked fans to make a poster centered around Yolanda Griffith's imminent participation in the Olympics.
The pair both won -- Griffith a gold; Tracy a Griffith jersey.

The Hip Hop Crew danced the game away as they performed a series of choreographed and freestyle routines at whistles. With 50 children as young as three participating in the dance troop their skills certainly were impressive. During one routine, four-year-old Camell (above) received an extra-big ovation from the crowd as the scoreboard camera captured her spotlight act.

At Mohegan Sun Arena, it was hot dogs and Dippin' Dots Ice Scream that was the food fare of choice. Sacramento? Well, they like their sushi at ARCO Arena's section 107. MMMMmmmmm.
