S71 PT#2: Amenities and Appellations

for connor o'byrne it is crucial that the stadium of whatever team he is on has a state of the art workout facility, equipped with all of the equipment a professional athlete could dream of. weights, treadmills, bikes, weights, different machines to workout all sorts of muscles across the body, connor spends lots of time in the gym so having great high quality equipment so he can always be at the top of his game is absolutely crucial. once he is finished his workout however, connor tends to feel pretty hungry which is why his team also needs to have an excellent kitchen with top tier chefs to create incredibly healthy, nutritious and tasty food for him to enjoy whenever he needs to. also, it must all be free because if hes being charged for this food or use of the workout facility, well thats just incentive to not use either facility and that means he wouldnt be as good as he can be.

CREATIVE PROMPT

It is I, Kezia Mackenzie, Right winger for the Atlanta Inferno of the eastern conference of the Simulation Hockey League. I'm here today to announce the christening of a brand new arena in Atlanta for which to play the valiant sport of iced hockey in. We shall call this new bespoke building of honor the :"Keziadome" in commemoration of our brightest star, our most decorated veteren, who is of course me, Kezia Mackenzie. This arena shall be underground, actually located 2000 feet below the earths surface and will require a 20 minute high speed elevator ride in order to enter the premises. Unfortunately there will only be one mere elevator with a maximum capacity of five persons. Personally i look at this as a benefit however, for it means the only the truest of Inferno aficionados will be willing to make the descent in order to witness the awe that is Atlanta Inferno hockey.

Prompt 2

We ask a lot of folks who attend sporting events in person. Arenas are often inconvenient to get to, either far from the downtown areas or in highly trafficked areas. On top of the ticket price just to walk in the door, food, drink, and other merchandise are all typically very expensive and sometimes spread far away from where your actual seats are. Beyond just ensuring that the on-the-ice product is as quality as possible, there should be extra details as well. An elaborate pre-game show or ritual to help fans feel connected and invested in their team and with each other. Clear sight lines and good, delicious, and varied food options. Nothing is worse than not being in a mood for a hamburger or a hot dog at a game and having to walk half a mile to get something different. On top of that, cleanliness and upkeep are incredibly important. If you do not respect your fans then you can't expect them to respect you.

Player Prompt:

Ty Murphy is not a high maintenance player.  Are the super lush amenities appreciated?  Yes.  But they are not needed for him.  He would be ok with just a wooden bench and some smelling salts, maybe a bump of booger sugar here and there.  But year after year the owners of the team dump more and more money into amenities for the players within their home stadiums.  Ice baths?  Sure.  Saunas?  You bet.  Hookers?  At the flick of a wizards wand.  What more could a guy want?  I'm sure they would let the players sleep at the arenas if they asked, there are double bunk beds in the southeast annex in buffalo.  Perfect for sleepovers withe the homies after watching Stand By Me real late at night.  Is it all too much?  Well, as a player it is definitely nice to enjoy it but at the same time it would've been cool to see that money elsewhere.  Imagine all that dough donated to the local public school system's teacher's salaries.

God damn it, why could Hugh Manius not have the luck for the team to move to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. No Buds on Broadway, no Canadian Brewhouse, No Hideout Lounge no Yuk Yuk tours and swimming up and down the south Saskatchewan River, that sucks. So much for being the big fish in the little pond, and on top of that management want him your input on name the area. How about calling it the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Area or something snappy like that. Additionally, the area district should be modeled after Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with all the trimmings. Replicas of Buds on Broadway, The Canadian Brewhouse, and The Hideout Lounge could be built to create some night life so people could go out for drank and listen to music in the area district and you could book a tour guide with Yuk Yuk tours II, that would be the bomb. Although swimming up and down the south Mississippi River is pretty gross.

So, because I've written a script based on a hockey team in Kelowna that just so happens to also be named the Kelowna Knights, I've actually done a bit of research on the city and its geography before. Kelowna is a city built on a lake that honestly looks more like a short but thiccc river. Technically, there's a west side, but Kelowna is mostly considered to be the east bank of the river. I've always thought that any stadium built next to a body of water is really cool, especially if it's built by a body of water and right in the middle of a city. Unfortunately, Kelowna doesn't have much of a skyline, but there is some bit of land that we can hypothetically say the team has bought out, which is some shipyards on the north end of town which, if used as space for a stadium, would be more than enough room to build one. It's also close enough to the hospital, which makes my script make more sense.

Written Task:  Tell me what your player cares most about in terms of stadium amenities. What do they expect to see? What would surprise them, positively or negatively? What do the weight room and film room absolutely have to have? (150+ words)

Wonada Jagrs is a huge judge of the locker rooms when visiting each and every arena for an away game. To him, the SMJHL and above are all professional hockey players and deserve the best of the best as far as almost anything offered to him. However, the away team locker room is usually where teams cheap out. He loves the Kelowna Knights dressing room, but many across the league lack a spectacular room. Newer teams, such as Nevada, Quebec City, Regina, and Great Falls do have great rooms for the away teams, along with Colorado. Newfoundland, he's found, has an incredible weight room, with some machines he'd never seen before prior to visiting. It's often seen as top-notch among the team. The Knights film room he thinks is up to standards, but nothing impressive. He's had better on worse teams. What has impressed him the most is the trophy halls some teams have. Again, Kelowna's is alright, but Detroit and Newfoundland really show their trophies off, and it's hard to not walk past without taking at least a glance. The history behind some of the teams, and the names on some of those cups.. It grabs his attention every time.

Amenities Wish-list

There are a few things that John Hopoate loves in the stadium of the Atlanta Inferno. In one corner of the stadium they placed an Australian corner. There is an Australian bar and a barbeque food joint so you can order all sorts of Australian snacks, food and drinks. On top of thinks like very Australian beer brands like VB or XXXX (we don't serve Fosters) there are also fun Australian foods like a snag on bread, fairy bread, meat pies. Special snacks like Tim Tams are available also and there are also local Australian spirits. You can buy a classic Australian rum and coke with the well known Bundaberg Rum!! This is always where Hoppa goes. As soon as the game is done he will be 10 minutes packing up and then gets a few of the team mates and they will all head up to the bar to drink together with whatever fans are left around to have some drinks.

Written task

Crazy Tomato would like to see some ground changing Amenities such as a VIP Pool for season ticket holders and some games for the children because sometimes hockey is boring for kids who got forced to go by their parents. Some of these games could be like a make a custom jersey area or a arcade room. For the adults maybe a build your own hockey stick where you can customize the colors and curve to your liking another thint could be a mini arena and you would 1v1 other players . You would definitely want a gym for the players and a great locker room but the only issue with all these ideas is budget but let's say there isnt one depending on the weather outside a retracing roof so if it's like -20°C outside you can make it be like a outside game these are my wish list / arena ideas
