Orlando opens 2012 season to a big enthusiastic crowd
Orlando Jai-alai opened the 2012 season Friday night to a very large and enthusiastic crowd, as the venue is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The place was about 80-85% full at its peak, showing that jai-alai still has its fans. Fans were clapping to the players march before every game, and cheered on the action during the 13-game performance. About one million dollars in improvements have been made at the fronton, and the place appeared cleaner and brighter inside and out. The new players uniforms are nice looking, but some of them were difficult to determine what post was out there on the court. Numbers 3, 4, 6 and 7 had no contrast, and management has acknowledged the mistake. There was an admission charge of $3, which will be the norm this year. Wristbands were required to enter and leave the building, which appeared to irk some as did the cover charge, which had been free for years now.
My company might have been the first one ever in American jai-alai history to be a fulltime sponsor with a large banner on the wall, located between the 13 and 14 lines. There is also one other sponsor – a recycling place from Georgia. The only other time I have seen “on the court” sponsorship was at the Citrus tournament with Master Jai-alai a few years ago.
By the way, the Citrus 2012 tournament is in just 3 weeks! I will be distributing tickets starting next week.
Orlando Jai-alai has never looked better with about $1M in improvements
