Max doesn't actually tell the owner to buzz off. In fact, he hires a legitimate architect to actually design the most outrageous stadium in the history of the SHL. With the help of Herzog & de MeuronDesign, an architecture firm from Switzerland, he gives input into what will be the most extravagant hockey arena in the world. The arena boasts a whopping seat count of 78,000 fans which includes 250 luxury boxes. In addition to the main seating it features a roof with a pool made with a glass bottom that allows an extra 1200 fans to watch from the water. There is also 120 different concession vendors with foods the likes of indian, thai, mexican, italian, french, greek, spanish, japanese as well as your classic burgers and dogs, 5 cigar and whiskey lounges, 23 different bars, a daycare and 2 all day spas. When Max brings in the final draft along with a full-scale model and price tag of $5.78 Billion, the owner has just a few words: "Stop wasting my time, Max". 177 words ![]() ![]() Graphic Graders S11 Challenge Cup Champion
I would say you have to take a page out of Jackie Moon’s book from Semi Pro. On the opening night of the season, one member of the team (randomly drawn out of a hat) will be put in a cage prior to the game and will have to wrestle a panther.
In addition to enjoying the spectacle, all fans in attendance will benefit from 50% off food and beverages for the duration of the cage match, and then all prices will revert back to normal once the opening ceremony begins. This will hopefully incentivize people to show up early, eat and drink more than they would and then have a great atmosphere ready for the game once it’s gets started. Obviously there is risk of injury and therefore the team is going to pay the selected player an additional $2 million for his troubles of getting into the cage with a panther, against their will since it’s going to be randomly drawn out of a hat. So, if you want a great time, some good prices on beer and food and one heck of a show, come to the Los Angeles Panthers’ opening night! ![]() ACP Access Senior Member
Probably something like festival with each player hosting their own mini event like a dunk tank or a Massive rock wall with merch at the top something that would be really fun is if there was a mini rink with like 10 yards long 4 yards wide you could do like hockey for 3 year olds and it would be kinda cool I guess but it would be probably really hard for them. you would also need it to be at daytime but could have something after the game for adults like a party or a concert but it would have to stay kinda hockey related it would be hard to have a event without it being kinda warm out because lots of people don't like being in the cold for that long. but it would be fun no matter what cold or warm but the perfect temperature is 5 degrees celsius

Wisconsin is a loyal soldier and she does what she's told. However, she's not exactly the creative type. At least, not anymore. You point for a position for her to play on the ice, you tell her what she needs to do physically, she's got you. But asking for ideas will normally get you a blank stare. At this point, Wisconsin has been constantly asked for her opinion on matters that are clearly not a part of why she's here in Kelowna. It's honestly kinda embarrassing that management hasn't realized. So to finally put her foot down on being asked to do all this extra work, she literally walks out of whatever meeting she gets pulled into. If they want to fine her, cut her, whatever. She can find a spot somewhere else. This isn't her job and she's not going to be involved. She'd rather hit the gym than "plan an event". Or hit a guy named Jim. ![]() Jamie T Wrote:But I wish I'd been a little more exceptional ![]() Trading Card Team currently with big titles
Everyone in Québec knows that this new arena business is a bad idea so saying that it would simply be bad for her image and therefore the club as a whole is not that hard for Elena. Plus, she doesn't speak very good english so she's not the kind of person you want selling a super unpopular project. Of course, her language skills have improved since being drafted by the Citadelles because she simply does not have a choice but her bosses don't need to know that, right? So whenever they want her to talk positively about the arena project, she does her best to be barely understandable and it's not long before the owners go harass another one of her teammates who are gifted with words. They also think this project is shit and more eloquently tell the owners to eff themselves so in the end, they get to insult morons and Elena is left alone. It's a win-win situation.

With Buffalo's arena situation finally sorted out, opening night could only feature one thing for the Stampede: real, live buffalos. Yes, that's right, the opening ceremony will include an actual herd of buffalo brought out on the ice. But they aren't just there to stand around and stare at, these buffalo have been acclimated to the ice in preparation for the event and are trained to do several laps around the rink while "Bulls on Parade" (close enough) blares over the loudspeakers. Naturally, this will scuff up the ice a bit and when the spectacle has concluded the ice will need be cleaned up before the game can be played so naturally the zamboni will have to come out and, oh what's this? The Zamboni is being driven by a buffalo?!?! What is even happening? That's right, it's a buffalo that's been trained to stand on a specially designed zamboni that is controlled remotely. Fans and opposing players will be left in awe as the hockey playing stampede take the ice. (178 words)

The thing to do is to trick all the fans into thinking that we're leaving. We book the night as a "goodbye night" with tons of memorabillia, signed photos of the arena, big ceremony lowering the banners and honouring notable alumni, the whole nine yards. But then... during a moment of silence, the team owner walks out onto the ice and screams, "WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!" and fireworks go off. The whole team rips off their jerseys to reveal a fresh new rebrand, a laser projector makes it look like the ice collapses away before reforming into a big banner that says "The New NEW is the New You." Wow. Everyone loses their mind, the banners rocket back up into the rafters, and we go on to play the best game of our lives. It's a classic bait and switch that allows everyone the joy and solemnity of saying goodbye to the franchise, as well as the shock and elation of getting to keep your beloved team. There is truly no downside.

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) Ok picture this, it's opening night in Hamilton. It's loud, roaring load in fact, so loud you can't hear yourself think. When the cake is rolled out onto the ice it's simple, plain in fact. How curious! The crowd quiets down so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then you hear a low rumble. Wait that rumble, it's coming from the cake! Slowly it grows and grows when suddenly a live POLAR BEAR ON THE BACK ON A GIANT MECHANICAL HAWK BURSTS FROM THE CAKE! IT FLIES AROUND THE STADIUM, JUST POLAR BEAR FUR AND CAKE EVERYWHERE! THE CROWD ROARS TO LIFE LOUDER THAN BEFORE. ITS DEAFENING WHEN SUDDENLY. The bird and the bear disappear. Was it real? A hologram? The only evidence it was there in the first place is cake everywhere. The lights come on and the players come out. The players act like nothing happened but in the distance you hear a cry of a hawk followed by the low bellow of a polar bear. Maybe it really did hap pen. Turd Ferguson

Maine Day should be the start of the season. Get the fans into some axe throwing competitions and tree cutting experience outside of the arena. Nothing like some good beer and alcohol to sooth the soul. We can also have the banner raised in the arena to start the season with some free shirts for the fans that showed up. Showing conference champs or something around those parts. I'm hoping, we can have four-star cup champs soon. The only thing Shootin Blanks is playing for before he heads up to Buffalo is that cup. Even if he wins it he is still staying down for a few seasons to catch that experience.
Maine needs a tree to come down from the rafter while the skaters are doing their warmups and chill on the ice pregame game. Not a real one but you get the whole thing. I think... Just need some towels to go out for the playoffs to get this fanbase going. words 163 ![]() ![]() ACP Access Jabbin' his Jelly Bean
While Cormier is very happy that the drama and arena saga can finally be laid to rest, he really doesn't have any interest in participating in any sort of promotional or cake or decoration or anything night. If it isn't in the spirit of inclusion, Cormier goes by a strict "not in my contract" policy. He's a hockey player after all. He gets paid to show up, help the team win and not hurt the brand image in any way along the way. If he wanted to be decorating cakes in celebration of a new arena he'd have a university degree in marketing and work for the team's PR department. so, When approached by the GM, owner, and even some of the players about participating in the upcoming arena launch night festivities, Cormier politely reminded them of his stance on extracurriculars in the contract. Plus everyone seems to be forgetting the team has a hockey game to play that evening and big distractions like this really should be taken off the players plates when at all possible.

For our opening night we would get a fully restored pirate ship and bring it on to the ice. We would find a way to either lower it down from the rafters or find a way to wheel it on the ice. Because we the Texas Renegades we can use a few different types of "bad guys" for our team idea. Another possibility would do more of a texas theme cowboys and bandits type thing. Who ever we would play first would be the bandits and then the Cowboys could be construed as the Renegades. The SHL would be the clueless town sheriff. We cover the ice with mats that would allow Horses to run over them. We would definitely have to use real horses because this is Texas and we have to do things big. The story would be introduced pregame and then during each intermission the story would progress until before the third second intermission when the Renegades caught the opposing bad team and thats how we would also signify that the renegades are going to win! That would be my gimmick. Basically turning the Renegades game also into a sort of Dixi Stampede event for the night.

Well for Dusty Rhodes the special event at the new stadium in New Orleans is a no brainer. It would of course be a professional wrestling event before the season opener to get the fans fired up. And not just any wrestling event but an old school hardcore event like an ECW event. That's the atmosphere Rhodes would like to see in New Orleans. Fans chanting and getting heavily involved in the action. Unfortunately the Spectres won't let Rhodes actually participate in the event so he'll end up doing the ring announcing. And he's gotten some decent names from the old ECW days to come take part like Sabu, Tommy dreamer, The sandman, Raven and others. There will be barbed wire matches and thumbtack matches. All in all it should be pretty rowdy and be sure to get the fans fired up for the home opener. Hopefully there won't be too much blood spilled on the ice before the opening faceoff. ![]() ![]() |
