NCAA Basketball 1st Round--Spokane, WA
by Pigrobin on 3/20/10Spokane Arena - SpokaneRating: 4 out of 5The event was well orchestrated and the in and out between the two sessions was smooth. I was afraid we might not get back to our seats before the tip off of the second session but we made it. My biggest complaint is the Spokane Arena does not use the banners around the arena to post scores of other tournament games as they are happening. I would think this would be automatic. We are basketball fans and are tracking all of the games including the one we are watching live. What was particularly poor was the arena announcer giving both wrong and/or late scores over the PA system. He might as well not give any scores if he gives scores that are 20 minutes old. We ended up going up on the concourse during time outs of the Spokane games to get updates from the TVs they have. Unless the NCAA has some restriction we don't know about, the arena can certainly do a better job.
