So we will be able to enjoy:
It’s a good list but what about a hotel bed in the stands like Chelsea tried few games back.
You’re right of course, but I doubt NSC would appeal to twelve year olds.
Over half the NS don't arrive in the stands until kick off
Hope the stadium got better build quality and fewer panel gaps than a Tesla!
But that's what the clubs – and the PL – want it to be like, pure entertainment. Mainly for the people MILES away from the ground – they are just the pawns/lemmings as part of the act. Look at us here, discussing it on a rival fan's forum two days after the actual game! Nowt to do with us, but you can bet that the whole thing went viral on all the social media channels and that's all that matters.
I've been going to NHL games since the 80s and difference in the "experience" has done a 180 for the worse. I wish what you described was the least of it. The t-shirt cannon crap, karaoke cams, celebrities waving to the crowd have become a bigger draw than the game. Most games are quiet until play stops then the crowd gets excited for whatever entertainment is coming at them. The New York Rangers actually show a entertainment schedule on the arena screen before the puck is dropped. It's worked well for the owners though, ticket prices are at all time highs and games are packed. I dont see how this will stop creeping into football.
This reminds me of a basketball game I saw, Memphis v New York Knicks. When telling people of the game I say it's a fun night out spoilt by a bunch of tall guys occasionaly bouncing a ball on the court!
