Items at Bradley Games that need to Improve

I am glad that the Braves won today, but I noticed the following items in error or just wrong.
1) For 2 seasons now the Culver's ad has misspelled RECEIVE as RECIEVE. How hard could it be to fix this on the scoreboard?
2) Today's printed program had omitted 5 of the Bradley player's names associated with their number, but Murray State player's names were correct.
3) Listed on the scoreboard was the next Bradley women's game as March 8 on Thursday. The game is on March 5, which is Thursday vs Evansville.
4) The Pappa Johns "contest" is a joke. Really, someone gets to win one Pizza. WOW.
5) Announcer makes multiple mistakes. Today was better, but often identifies the wrong player of the other team committing the foul.

I know the attendance is down from prior years, but is seems that at lot of things are not right at the games. Most of the half time entertainment is non existent or poor. I realize we cannot afford acts like the contortionists, juggling acts, or the lady on the unicycle collecting bowls atop her head, but it would nice to bring the dogs back for half time or have some high school students play drums and march on the floor.

I wish the Braves well in St Louis. They never give up and have improved.
 
Agree with several of your points. Get rid of pizza promotion and find kaboom. Music leading up to tip off needs improvement. Our MC (not PA guy) does a great job and would like him to do more during the game.

However, I believe this years attendance is the highest it’s been in 12 or so years. So it’s trending the right way. Need to keep that momentum going. I think we can surpass 100k fans in carver next season. Hoping they take steps to increase season tix and more promotions.

Did you catch the PA guy saying since the Braves hit a 3 at the end of the first quarter that fans got Culvers?

Yes, I saw that and commented on it in the Chat Room.. There is a 6' guard named Kyonte Thomas on Valparaiso, and he is #22. So whoever was responsible for the graphics looked up the wrong team, and picked their #22- https://valpoathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kyonte-thomas/10630
Valpo's Kyonte Thomas averages 0.3 points per game and has 0 steals on the season, so I can see how they got things mixed up.
