Adelaide Arena Bench Configuration

Relocating the camera would be too simple, surely?

Obviously much better to go with the cost, difficulty and mess of relocating the bench with all the changes to seating configurations [those seats are fold-away, remember, not fixed] and relocation of the electrical and computing infrastructure!

And yes, I'm being sarcastic.

One can only hope that, if this reconfiguration is actually achievable and goes ahead, it means there will be space - and facilities - for the court announcer beside the score bench so he can actually see what the officials are doing and tell the crowd [a vital part of his role], which is jolly difficult from his current position stuck on the baseline.

Would it not be easier to move the tv camera to the other side?

^^^ Wow, someone's a tad too emotional about the standardising of league bench configurations.

Once again, maybe the standard needs to change and those adds do not need to expand an entire sideline, especially when they are repetitive, the NBL won't collapse if they are a little shorter and favourable to teams to reduce frustration and hnece a better product maybe with coaches and teams being looked after . No amount of your aggressive attitude towards me and my dofferent opinion will change my mind and I can have an opinion too so twke gour arrogance and redirect it. I did not go off on a tangent l, you just have a fixed mindset where others don't. Maybe some of the NBL decisions are not the right ones and itnis okay for us to question them. Seriously...do you have a vested interest in this signage or can't take constructive criticism...

We understood you and ADL are going to the NBL standard NOT the NBA norm which you've now gone off on a tangent about. Oh and those evil ads without them there is no club.

if you all bothered to read my comments properly I have no complaints about access for TV coverage on opposite side. My issue is courts that have full court sideline length LED marketing screens impeding sideline access to benches and the impact it has on the coaches and players bench space. Most if the NBA does not have this issue, benches have full sideline acess just as the Sixers do now so stop bringing up responses that are sarcastic and lacking any form of rationality. Comments made were genuine in the best interest of supporting the needs of the team above advertising which has already entered the score board at sixers and manybhave complained about that as has players who just want to see the five on courts stats.. Yes see, in large enough font so they can read it. We can't have viewing and advertising not supporting the team above all else. Just sayin.

Where are the benches in the NBA?
Oh that's right, every single team sits opposite the camera.
They must be onto something. The scorers bench will still be digital and run ads I'd imagine.

The standard in Adelaide is changing... to *THE* standard. :)

Then the standard needs to change.

Yeah ok every team hates league standard configuration.

And every team and coachinng group hates it.. Face palm right back at you...

Anon #632022... facepalm

Which every other team does.

Players and coaches won't like sitting at the ends behind the rolling LED advertising... Horrible.

I'm stoked. It gives the fans watching on tv a view of the bench's reaction to the game. I'm sick of the 90ft rolling LED screen running ads all game.
Also good for the fans at the game sitting courtside. I've sat that close and it is amazing. Already checked with the 6ers for available season tickets and it wasn't cheap.

bugger, I like sitting opposite the benches so you get to see whose coming in and going out , coaches getting "T"ed etc.

anyone in row H on Southern side want to swap ?

Yesss finally the league is standardising bench locations. Adl config was ridiculous.

Adelaide

Adelaide or New Zealand. Probably Adelaide.

What stadium is that?

Last night's display was terrible and not surprising given the massive cultural problems at the club.

Speaking to people close to the team, I hear that there is a terrible boozy culture that exists at the club. The unprofessionalism is astounding really given these blokes are supposed to be professional atheletes. You can almost bet that you will see at least one player out at one of the Coast's nightclubs on any given night. And after a game it is almost accepted that the players are out at East until 3 or 4am. As a season member who puts money in to the club, it pisses me off to no end. Why should I keep putting money in to the club when these blokes aren't fair dinkum?
