Was it really necessary to start 2 threads on this.
Didn't get the result you wanted first time, so had to try again?

It is an insanely great song for college basketball. Not sure if it will/would work with the family first atmosphere at NBL games.

I have tried Zombie Nation a couple of times in the last few years, but never got much response from it.

It was played at a lot of NBA games about 3-4 yrs ago.
Started in some College stadiums a few years before that, it's been around a while.
NBL fans just aren't the same, the majority need coaching from the PA to get behind the team at any other time than a big shot, dunk or block.

college games are usually made up fanatical 20 year olds....36ers games are not...
over there it is a culture...

Yeh seriously High school and College games, of which Ive been to many are a whole different atmosphere. It has nothing to do with the music since they crank either way. 14-20yr olds are well different to Families.
Theres no comparison.

is only good for the college/nba games where everyone knows what to do. At college games the first level is filled with fanatics where as the 6ers its mostly the older generation who wouldnt know what to do
"college games are usually made up fanatical 20 year olds"
there are many more older people, 60+ at all college games as they are the alumni, and normally season ticket holders, the students have free sections that they can get into.
Nothing like seeing a 75 year old granny yelling out airball airball....

Gave it a run during my time with the Bullets. Agree with most others in saying that it isn't suited to NBL crowds. Awesome for the college nuts who are crazy all game, but not for a crowd of 3-4k who sit on their hands.
