It's a fairly impressive facility.
The photos make it look like there was hardly any people there, but considering there was very little advertising (at least from what the locals told me) it wasn't too bad a turn out.

Damrob,
The burning question I have for you, based on your photos, is:
How does their mascot rank among the other NBL mascots you have seen?
Is he wacky and zany? Did he have any cool routines/tricks?

The mascot didn't really do much, I think a lot of the entertainment will improve once the performers get an idea of what they can and can't do.
There is a competition running for naming the merlion (mascot). He danced around a little but I didn't see him do much.
I did like the costume though, much better than some other mascots going around!

Thanks Damrob.
A competition to name their mascot, you say? Surely they don't have to look any further than the Hoops SA community to find their winner for that.
I'll start:
- The Humidifier
- Merlene Merlion
- The Anti-Litter Lion (to be sponsored by an enterprising chewing gum producer)

Further to all of this, basketball mascots don't get enough attention IMO.
There's a great write-up on a day in the life of guy who's the Phoenix Gorilla here.
Bob Woolf, a 40-year-old, blue-eyed father of three, is the Gorilla, the King Kong of sports mascots. He was the first NBA mascot to dunk off a mini trampoline, first to dunk through a ring of fire, first to ride a Harley on the court, first to use videotaped skits, first to dunk off a crumbling model of the Empire State Building and first to dunk after being propelled from the three-point line by catapult.

Yeh, the 36ers should bring back Slam Dunk or perhaps the Pura Milk Monster!

I still say the Pura Milk Monster was crap. It looked like something you'd win at a sideshow.
