Dominos Pizza at Adelaide Arena

To all the anon. Maybe someone forgot to tell you that you don't have to eat Dominos. It's your choice. Just as it's my choice to laugh at your superiority.
I do tend to find however that the cardboard mixed with oil texture has been well refined by Dominos over the years. A classic yet unblemished flavour. It does taste better when a mature aged single batch cardboard is used.

For me the music is a big issue. For the sake of the game, and the 'product', let's keep music for the breaks and before the game and let the game be the show when it's on ... it is only 40 minutes, after all.

The exception [for me] is the occasional 'spike' to pick up on the emotion or reaction of the crowd ... and the music for them needs to be carefully selected.

It definitely helps if the person or people responsible have some feeling for the game and the music. For example, it is insulting - to the players and the crowd - to start playing triumphalist stuff when the home side gets a five-point run in the second quarter. That's fine, if you must, when the home side is 20 points up over a good opponent in the last few minutes, but way out of place early on. But the unrelenting barrage of noise is the big negative for me.

Let's have music complementing the game,not detracting from it and crushing the crowd under a relentless, over-powering barrage of noise [aural abuse?], particularly if we're going to get some basketball this year instead of recent seasons' wrestling/kick-boxing hybrid.

Really looking forward to seeing some ball played within the rules [& spirit] of the game, and maybe even hearing the crowd get involved, if we can keep the music out of the way!

i have always loved ACDC Thunderstruck at start of the game. Wouldn't be the same without the lyrics.
Just because the NBA doesn't allow lyrics doesn't mean they know best. But you can't argue that the choice of music and songs makes a big difference to the game and atmosphere, Like playing "happy songs" when the team played crap under Clarke and were getting pumped.
Dominos selling small pizzas would be a winner.
Great way to get some sort of corporate/sponsorship support and exposure from a multinational company too. Win-Win for both parties.

KET, yes, you heard it first here. Sorry if I have stolen Dean's thunder, but keep an eye out for a new logo.

There's a new logo as well.

Dean and his troops have worked very hard in the off season. I know one of the objectives was to make the game night experience something special. If there's a fan who is disappointed (with anything other than the on-court performance) the Club would want to know about it.

I hear Skip is cleaning out the track collection and even "Moscow" has fallen the way of the Soviets. Aaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhh. Still every dog has their day.

Pizza! That's the ticket!
