S71 PT#5: That's a Wrap

Prompt 1

Patya much glad for not moving to Saskatoon! Patya not having any problems with Saskatoon, just is many colds and Patya liking having seasons, even though sometimes New Orleans many hots and humids. Patya must be thinkings hard about special event for opening night. Patya thinking most obvious is for give out t-shirts to all fans because this pretty easy and fans much appreciate it. Patya also thinking maybe we do some play on Mardi Gras parade on the ice because that could be many neats, kind of like all other ice shows done by companies like Disney, but more short. Maybe also season ticket holders am get to skate on the ice a few hours before the game, but only after players have had first crack at new ice! Patya final thought is maybe having many fake cakes on ice for players to come out of! This idea not finalized so someone smarter than Patya maybe plan this part so is not too dumb.

CREATIVE PROMPT / STORY MODE - Opening Night

Written Task: The drama is over. Your team will not be moved to Saskatoon, you have a real pro-level arena again, and your owner has stopped asking you to get involved in local politics on his behalf. For now. But he has one last thing to request your input on: the special event for opening night!

What special event, gimmick, promotion, or otherwise memorable frosting will you add to your team's opening night cake in your brand new stadium? What's something your fans will never forget? (150+ words)

The Tampa Bay Barracuda, after the Micheal Fitted Memorial Arena and Fitted Hockey Network Headquarters for College Students Who Can't Read Good (MFMAFHNHCSWCRG for short) opens to the public, will hold a celebration as the Tampa Bay Barracuda enter S72 and their 26th season in the Tampa Bay area, the 2nd longest tenure for the franchise in any specific location. To celebrate, the ceremony starts by a procession, led by part-owner, former player, and media mogul Micheal Fitted (yes, that Micheal Fitted), playing his hit song "nobody fuck with me" with no backing track. He is followed by jerseys of their previous locations, from Wisconsin to Seattle and everything in between. As they exit the tunnel, footage plays on their new Jumbotron, with footage of the team celebrating their cup wins in S50 and S65 (yes they won those cup finals and no don't look it up). After the end of the video, the current team is brought onto the ice from the rafters in a well-constructed (made in Michael Fitted's backyard over the weekend) barracuda chariot, as the team proceeds to kick the ass of the opposing team that day (probably Baltimore)

The opening of a new arena for the St. Louis Scarecrows marks an end to and era of highs and lows for the team, and for that first night at the new arena, the grand openening for the first game of the regular season the Scarecrows will scrounge up as many former great Crows as they can, current or retired, to come do speeches to the crowd attending as well as the current players of the team. Furthermore, at the end of the night the special guests will set up signing stations in the halls for fans to come get pictures, memorabilia signed and in general to just chat with hard core Crow fans around the league. It will be a warming experience for the fans to close out an era of a great teams history, and to open a new one, all at the same time getting the fans in on it.


CREATIVE PROMPT / STORY MODE -

The gimmick is that every seat has a big cutout of Slip McScruff’s head to celebrate the opening of Slip’s rink in his own backyard. Unfortunately, there is not enough vertical separation and the cutouts are too big, so no one can see the actual game on ice. This was definitely “not” a marketing gimmick to get people out of their seats, but anyway hot dog sales were through the roof.

The other gimmick was that a beer in the 1st period came with a coupon for buy one get one half off hot dogs in the 2nd period. The half off hot dog came with a coupon for buy two get one half off hot dogs in the 3rd period. Basically, we kept them bought in and chasing deals so the independently owned (by Slip) food stands would attract enough business for Slip (and the local politician) to come out in the green after just 10 seasons in Slip’s backyard.

Close your eyes and picture this. It's opening night for the New England Wolfpack, and the stands are packed. The stadium is alight with the tension that can only be found at the start of the new season. A cloud of hope and expectations hangs over the arena. As the lights dim, a piercing howl fills the stadium and out comes a pack of wolves pulling recently retired Wolfpack legend Sven Yxshaft in a dogsled. After a short ceremony celebrating his longevity and storied career, the standard pregame sequence plays and the season begins for real. It may not be the most dramatic way to start the season, but it would be an excellent way to honor a player with a storied Wolfpack career. PLus having him come out on a dogsled pulled by wolves is both on brand and totally badass. I've really nailed this pitch I reckon. Tell the owner to make it happen!

Edžus has been obsessed with the new Diablo game lately. He, along with rival prospect Theodore Svatos, has been playing nonstop - when he’s not busy training. So, with that in mind, Ozolins’ focus for a special event would have something to do with a collaboration between Diablo and the devils of the SMJHL, aka the best team of the league, Maine. As they say, it's going down, we're yelling timber! And hell is down! Not only would that open the door to an insane partnership, but it would also bring in tons of people at the opening night, something that would cause profits to spike up, which would please the owners! If that idea doesn't work, a simple skills competition should do the trick, since the most skilled shooters, playmakers, creative minds etc play for the Timber. This would also attract people to the opening night, and would also generate additional profits due to attracting people earlier than gametime. Of course, there would also be giveaways to make it worth a fan’s time!
