I hate iso ball, and I'm pretty sure we have the most Dunkingest Freakiest player in the league, and threes are much better than turn around js.
The experience in the arena has changed a lot. There is too much stuff that gets hyped during the breaks. ..
The Grand Dancers, Young Bucks Dancers, Hoop Troup, Rim Rockers, Bucks Beats, Milwaukee Bucks Dancers.
I think the NCAA tournament is more attractive because when the game breaks they don't go full on pomp and circumstance. It's a chance to breath, talk to the people next to you and when the game resumes so does the event we came to see.
I dig Melanie Ricks energy she hosts the contests and is a supportive and positive fixture.
With Joe it's all big. Big belly, big hair, big mouth. I have hosted some small stuff and hyping ain't easy. Like two sugar free red bulls 20 minutes before go time. Keeping the mic right also isn't as easy as it looks when running around.
My suggestion is... when the side events come on... just nice soft intro. Ladies and gentlemen the blah blah blah.... they do their thing, and recognize outro. I think the casual fans probably feel more obligated to watch that... because they told you to ad nauseam.
I guess if I was performing as a dancer/rim/beats the more crowd attention the better I'd feel - But you're just a small part of the experience. I dont need to know 'lt's Billy Raaaayyyyyy with the doublllleee flllliiipppaaaarrrooooonnniiii Hhhheeeyyy!!!'
Just alternate different genres of 'energy chunes' play and let the crowd do as they please.
Use light more to influence atmosphere, changing levels really affects energy and is instantaneous.
And, some of the attendees (when they are there) really do suck. I know it will improve, but it is a little embarrassing frankly.
This is a good point. I've always hated the Bucks' arena production, with all the extra sh*t, it just feels like a circus. All the forced chants and "clap your hands" bs. Playing Top 40 songs from like 2009. Could you imagine if the NBA hired some actual artists and went avant garde with their arena production?
I hear Streetlife is still available
