Need to drop the stadium into a bucket of Domestos

Well finally the Advertiser has devoted a page to basketball! Lower admission next year, BASA- great idea, why didn't someone else think of that?

What do you think of the Domestos comment? If I had never gone to a Sixers game and I read that the stadium is disgusting and needs to be dropped into a huge bucket of something that stops germ and bacteria breeding I don't think I'd buy a ticket next year.

Agreed. I've never thought of the Dome as dirty before. I think people expect a bit of mess given that it's a sporting venue used by up to 7800 people on a night. But for people who haven't been before or haven't been in a while, reading that paragraph would be a big turn-off.

I think what he was saying was that he knows the stadium isn't the cleanest and that they are going to do something about it. I think he was also referring to comments he received from spectators complaining about the standard and cleanliness of the stadium.

I for sure will be buying a ticket or 10.

But I think your right Isacc, if you don't know the stadium and haven't seen inside then it would definately be a turn-off to any potential new-comer fans.

the dome is disgusting the build up of dirt especially on the floors in some of the female toilets is beyond belief and take a look at the grim and dirt around the base of each chair the stadium has only had a cursory clean for a decade

i agree with the domestos comment it does need a big clean up and i for one will be happy when it happens.

My son played U10s last saturday morning down there and complained afterwards that the court was slippery. Suprising comment considering he spends alot of time sitting on it, and from a 7 year old?

I have never thought that the stadium was that bad but I just think that it's not going to help out the marketing department when comments come out like that in big bold writing saying that it is a dirty place. I feel sorry for the marketing people sometimes.

They have a great product to sell but it seems BASA do everything they can to stop them doing there job well. First ticket prices - they have fixed that, Not signing players they are fixing that but why make silly comments that degrade the product you sell? you are not Lying if you only tell people the good things!

I think he has said that the stadium has been overdue for a thorough clean and we can expect the domw to be sparkling for opening night.

It can be a negative or a positive depending on how you look at it....just love the fact that Higgins seems to have got some teeth!

yeah it may be a little dirty but do you really need to come out and say it? just clean it up and people will notice next time they come. People will be turned off from going by the dirty environment but no one is going to go because its clean. As for cash changes thats great.

I never thought of the Dome as dirty but you no, I never really have taken notice of that stuff. It would be good for it to get a good cleaning though, first impressions last for the new comers and people will enjoy them self's more in a cleaner environment.

You think the Dome is Dirty what about the other staduims - Hillcrest, Pt Adelaide, Morphett Vale. We go play sport, a health thing in some on the filthest, Germ infested places. I know it not a hospital but just general cleaning and maintenance would be great. BASA need to lokk after ALL their Venues
