36ers Half Time entertainment for season 2005-2006

Freebies are always interesting if they got the players to throw stuff into the crowd im sure people would start taking notice.
The hawks footy club all sign ball and give it to a person in the crowd. generally a junior. i bet as a youngster that would cement there following of that team for life.
we gotta do more to fill the dome.

Clubs wanting to showcase their talent for free don't pay the bills. The half time entertainment revolves around sponsors like the Good Guys, Coca Cola, Balfours etc. It may not be very entertaining to watch but these sponsors need to advertise their products which is why they offer sponsorship money. I agree however that they could do this in a more entertaining way. It would probably help their cause if they found a way of showing their products in a manner that makes people interested and want to watch.

I have to agree with a previous poster about the jelly wrestling with 36er dancing girls. Only problem is, if I'm not selected to participate, I'll be too busy watching to go to the bar or canteen- the caterers wouild lose money.
The court announcer seems to be interested in himself, not the spectators (like that chick on Big Brother), but I dont think it's his fault nobody can hear him. Perhaps if he was interesting, people might quieten down & actually listen.

I'd like to see those mini blimps they have in the NBA games. Advertisers would pay to have 'their blimp' for a game, and get the blimp to drop giveaways related to that sponsor.

Wouldn't exactly be ideal half-time entertainment, but it could be a nice novelty for timeouts.

As long as no Southern Tigers U/18 Boys assistant coaches are looking at my whiteboard during time outs and reporting my tactics back to Arnie - I'm in!

If you go with the beat boxing entertainment or anything along those lines- how bout having local personalities in the basketball arena part of it and make a regular talent quest, something similar to what is on the footy show. For example the eagles men against the north men one week, and the south men versus the norwood men another. Be funny to watch. Even the women players be apart of it.
Or get someone from the club who has a band to go against someone from another club. Might help to join up the roots bewteen elite and local, and a prize at the end of the season for the best talent exhibited by a club.
Apart from basketball some people do have other talents.

The best half-time entertainment, i remember was many moons ago when they had gymnastics/acrobats doing tricks, and flips on mini trampolies etc. Its was funny, and entertaining, and something different.

Whatever is decided on, i think the delivery means alot, not just the content. If there is nothing going on, on the court i turn away and have a chat, or get a drink or somethings, but if the delivery of the entertainment is smooth (the annoucner doesn't spend the first 5 minutes explaining the rules of the 'game' to the 8 yr olds,) people remain interested.

What ever it is, the crowd responds better when it all flows smoothly.
