Arland Bruce may have pulled off the oddest MJ tribute in what could end up being a long list of odd tributes to the King of Pop.
A handful of people sent me this article, either to show me that I am not the oldest mascot in the world, or because they thought it might make for a nice blog article.
Slashfood not only broke this emerging food trend but broke the story that we are in development on some additional giant food racing options.
As promised, here is video from Saturday’s visit to Reading starring the mascot band from the R-Phils.
As noted last week, I had the chance to visit the Reading Phillies over the weekend. Overall they put on a great show. They put their unique spin on some traditional game operations elements and create some one-of-a-kind elements as well. The show is innovative, fresh and fun.
Tuesday’s blog will feature some [...]
Greetings World Wide Web. We have decided to shake up the Gameops.com blog format a little bit. As a result, I will now be cutting my blogosphere teeth and contributing what will hopefully be life-changing blogs a couple times a month.
I envy our clients. While we sit in our semi-luxurious offices in Lakewood Ohio, they are out every night with live crowds enacting the game entertainment that we spend our days working on. While we certainly have experience, but there are times when I just wish we could walk out the office door and do it live.
I love when a team uses a celebrity in-game….and I am not talking about a scoreboard crowd shot, that’s the simple short cut. I am talking about engaging them and opening a door for them to do something.
While most people would list the National Anthem as one of the last places to try a little comedy, props to the Quakes for being open to it in this hilarious video from the Jamie Kennedy Experiment.
Today I realized while adding some new content to the site that we passed another numerical milestone: 2400 promotions in the database.
But we are just scratching the surface. These simple inexpensive cards also can be used in a clever way with any promotional night. Here’s an example with a scratch card, bobblehead, trading cards, and magnets.

Some of the content I really love on Gameops.com are the definition pages. When I worked at Nike in the sports entertainment department I was throw into the deep water on some production elements I knew nothing about. Pyro and lighting were just two such areas.
I was really lucky to have a local production house [...]
Friday night I saw a live performance at the Cleveland Playhouse Square Center of David Sedaris. Sedaris is one of my favorite writers and a frequent contributor to NPR, Esquire and the New Yorker. Profound, funny, poignant and always entertaining, Sedaris also reminded me that you don’t always need [...]
A couple news items jumped out at me today from the sports section related to game operations and sports marketing.
The first was a great promotion by Shaquille O’Neal who was in Cleveland a day early for a game against the Cavaliers and used that time to host a food-drive event. What made this out-of-market CR [...]
Bill Clinton and I both attended the 1997 game between the Wizards and Seattle SuperSonics that opened the building now known as Verizon Center. The president sat in owner Abe Pollin’s suite. My butt filled a seat upstairs, somewhere around Row Z.
During a break in the game, people withT-shirt cannons ran onto the [...]
Halftime Horror -Full View Water Torture Cell by female escape artist Kristen Johnson. January 16th, 2009, where Kristen blacks out with a Hypoxic Seizure in front of 17,000 people. After the locks and lid were removed and her head was brought above water, she started breathing on he own instantly. She gets herself the rest [...]
Beyonce’s version has more than 36 million views on YouTube. Her own “Saturday Night Live” parody has more than 7 million views, and countless others have thousands of views. It was the “SNL” parody, featuring Justin Timberlake, that spawned the idea for what has become YouTube’s only “Single Ladies” parody that features a professional sports [...]
We strayed a bit from our conventional spotlights this month, to shake it up and bit and because many of our readers and clients are shopping for items outside of the typical sports giveaways.
USB Drives are featured this month, including notes on how the Orlando Magic used the drives to promote a green [...]
