Win tickets for the RAA Lounge at 36ers games

I think it's layered , when I was in this morning looking for Diamon. I better go back in this afternoon and have another look at it and see Diamon

Very unique offering by RAA and the club.

Its gotta be said that it works fairly well in Auckland for the Breakers. Years ago before the title was won, they had this idea utilised and it was a winner.

I thought it was classy however it does have a drawback that those behind that ring miss out on being close to the game. And the tables that are in the second row, lose out because theyare behind another table blocking their view.

But a good idea nevertheless

I agree, I can't recall ever hearing much noise from the western end last season, and it had a designated "sprint auto cheer squad" section. The stadium looked well patronized on the tv coverage, especially the eastern end, which I prefer to seeing instead of mostly empty seats.

Good on the club for giving it a go, but agree it takes away some of the atmosphere at that end.

Always wondered why they dont have any floor seats or boxes behind the baskets?
Seems to be heaps of room for it without obstructing the view of the people in the first row.

One question about the RAA competition. Is this ONLY for the game on the 21st, or can I get tickets to a different game later on?

I already have tickets to the game on the 21st, so not much point unless its for a different game.

It needs to be layered in my opinion so say 3 tiers so you can actually put more people in there as it looked terrible as probably only 20 to 30 people there. If it was layered then have long trestle tables and sit in rows so then everyone gets a good view. Companies that are in there could also add signage to the table cloth facing the rest of the crown as in corporate boxes.

Good idea just didn't look right. If done right would look better than a empty stand.
I always thought they should give away the seats at both ends to fill the joint. Give them all balloons to wave to reLly create an atmospher during free throw shots. Surely would make more off merc and food etc with the place full than having 2000 empty seats. Would also make people but tickets earlier as currently you can still get a decent seat from the door on game night.

Just my opinion and im no financial strategist.....

Lauren Jackson is tearing up the Korean league at the moment.. She has just had a 47 point game and is averaging around 30 per game!
