Apparently there was some sort of gymnastic thing there a while back. You can still see a beam from the trapeze in the rafters unless someone completely made that story up to humour me!

I have seen a circus there, and I saw the Australian Volleyball team play a match there.

In the States most of the courts are joint use with ice hockey. The court is laid on the ice rink. As the Snow Dome is in decline it could work.

State roller skating championships (dance and figure) have been held there.

Also several church functions (i think Greek Orthodox churches have used it regularly)

sesame street live was held their about 2 years ago coz it was double booked at the ent centre

The Dome could be, and is being used as a retirement village

Funnee!!! Lol Good 1 MW.The camp over in Pt Lincoln is not only a money spinner for the 6ers but also giving the old timers plenty of fish oil for their aching joints?

I reckon it would make a good venue for Wrestling.
A lot closer up to the action than you would get at the ent cent.

i saw this and posted it many months ago

Skip - would be perfect for wrestling, although entrance ramp would have to be quite small, but good for the crowd - Looking forward to Saturday at RodLaverArena ;-)

massive LAN parties

NERDS!

I have seen the Dome used as a place of worship.

Many times I have seen coaches there praying for a call......

well done sixers33...

Nice Korfball video DJ,first time ive seen the seats between the players race tucked away.

I can recall seeing a poster for a Tom Jones concert at the clipsal powerhouse,not sure if it went ahead though?!

why not use it for raves? Massive parties such as enchanted!

Lease it to Steve Irwin and he can use it to bred rats for his snakes.

I think it's a good idea if you can protect the court.

Most teams are playing out of Entertainment centres or multi-purpose venues where the court isnt a perminent fixture (Tigers and Razorbacks probably the only other 2 playing on permanent courts).

Is the Dome floor re-moveable? I wouldnt think so, but would it take that much to modify it so that it was? Maybe something for Mr BrisVegas to ponder.

tennis? and then LAN parties.......

LAN parties could be huge at the Dome. Some of you might laugh, but professional gaming is on the up - a Halo clan got a US$1m contract recently, another guy is getting $250k, there are broadcasts dedicated to live games. I'd rather watch a professional team playing a FPS than sit through some of the crud on TV these days.

Pet shows, computer fairs, gem shows, fashion shows, mock sea battles.

But restrictions may still stop things like this. Rats! ;)

good work Isaac - i was actually attempting to be serious. The LAN parties held locally over the last few years - especially at the Rubikon? room @ the entertainment centre have been quote "awesome". Sure its a little Nerdy, but with a setup of plasma screens, and team allotments, and plenty of fibre optic - it'd be sweet.

ps. Mock sea battles - in the style of "Its a Knockout - with Mike Whitney" pure gold.

eatshit - nerds still have money... put on some large-scale LAN parties with consoles and projectors and it'd be an easy way to book the place out a few extra days per year - run an all-nighter now and then even.

Funny you should mention It's a Knockout -- I have this grand vision of creating a business venture (or a chain) that sees people getting together on Friday nights, paying $10 (cheaper than ten pin bowling?) and running around like bastards in It's a Knockout or BB Friday Night Live-style games. Crazy competitions, tournaments, etc. Like skirmish, but more ridiculous. More frog suits, more detergent (bet someone quotes Red Dwarf in response to this...).

" Oh, screw down my diodes and call me Frank! "

Isaac, perhaps teams from abl?, for off season antics? 6-8 guys per team, a quick 4-6 week competition - post season. round robin, events such as dodgeball, gauntlet, All Over. Lots of padding, and floor mats, BBQ afterwards........
perhaps its just an insurance nightmare.

Why would you want a BBQ after when you eatshit?

Kryten, I was thinking of:

Caligula: Very well. Rasputin, bring in the bucket of soapy frogs and remove his trousers.

the beam was there for lighting etc for Tom Jones concert when dome fist opened,now thats factual

Mayb we could lyk throw a MAS partai there or sumthink. Whoz up for sum partAI lurVeing

Isaac - come on - IP ban on chicka!!!
