Titanium Security Arena Scoreboard

The Church own the 36ers?

So when you are going to a game, what you are doing is effectively ... praying?

Some wild speculations on prices going around. No you can't just hang 4 x 80" LCD for $20,000. Job not done. For 1 you have to remove the old scoreboard. Do you know how you need to do that? No off-course you don't. That alone will blow your $20,000 budget way out of the water. Think along the lines of between $7,500 to $15,000 per square meter of display depending on how low a pixel pitch you want to go for. I would estimate you would want at least 20 square meter per side, 80 square meters total. So between $600,000 and $1,200,000 is the figures you are looking at. In very rough numbers. Now if they get an install partner/sponsor or similar you might be able to drop that figure quite a lot but still it's a very expensive exercise.

I don't believe the 6ers owners OWN the building. I think they have full rights over the building and its use for the next 10 years?

This email takes away most of the frustration that fans have been feeling for months (years?).

Excellent that they have finally explained the situation. As said above, this is how issues should be handled - frank, open, honest.

Anyone have any idea of the approximate cost? Personally, I'd be happy if the club asked every member for a reasonable contribution. Surely, even $10 per member (3000+ members?) would be of some help.

Even better, how about having the "On the Run" scoreboard, Mr Shahin....??

Also - the Club don't own the scoreboard and the ownership of the Club changed hands only 4 months ago.

Im actually surprised the NBL dont kick in some funds for this. They are trying to show the best product they can so it makes sense if Adelaide cant currently do it, they might.
