Has to be redeemed within 48 hours (which is another source of consternation among some McDonald's employees). So, you don't have to stay until the end to get it. I'm thinking McDonald's just wants everyone to want the Big Mac so much that they go there after the game and buy one anyway.

They hand out little coupons at the doors out of the Rose Garden. That way, if you don't stay to the end, no Chalupa for you. Do you have to bring in your ticket stub?

If I didn't complain about the Big Mac... I would have just posted another generic Suns cheerleader picture. I can do that any old day.

They used to do the Big Macs that way, but then when the Bulls got their average PPG up to 98.8 in 06-07, I think McDonald's got scared, so they changed it to 100+ AND they have to win. Good thing for them, too, because last season, they averaged 102.2 points per game.<br><br>Also, why do the McDonald's employees have to be sticklers about this? When I went last season to get my free Big Macs (haven't gotten any so far this year), they would go in the back to see if anyone knew the score of the game. Really? You can't just give me a free Big Mac even if they didn't win and didn't score 100 points? Like McDonald's is going to go out of business if their employees are a little bit nice to their customers?
