    The Australian National Rugby League is also piping in crowd noises.

    They're also having fans send in pictures of themselves, then printing them on cardboard cutouts, and putting them in the stands. It didn't take long before someone sent in a picture of a serial killer.

    I was watching a Bundesliga soccer game yesterday and was working on a computer and more listening than watching then I realized I heard crows noise doing their cheers and was shocked as the stadiums in Germany were suppose to be fan free. I looked up and saw a glimpse of fans, but on closer look it was 3 rows of cardboard cutouts of fans and they were pumping in the fan noise and cheers.

    Looks like these may be some of the solutions. From ESPN.com:
    • The higher-seeded team being awarded the first possession of the second, third and fourth quarters, following the traditional jump ball to begin the game

    • The higher-seeded team being allowed to designate one player to be able to be whistled for seven fouls instead of six before fouling out

    • The higher-seeded team receiving an extra coach's challenge

    • The higher-seeded teams being able to transport their actual hardwood home court from their home arenas to Orlando to try to preserve the feel of their home playing experience

      And I love this one, lol:

    • An off-court feature in which playoff teams, in order of seeding 1-16, receive first dibs on picking which hotel they will stay at in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and Disney World Resort

    I assume they are referring to the team that has HCA for that specific game, meaning we'd have the advantage vs the Lakers in Games 3, 4, & 6.

    You should learn about those holographic images ….might need to green screen people in the the arena...put Jimi Hendrix in there and Paul Allen, Duckworth, Kersey.....make it like a Sgt Peppers album cover every game with famous people in the seats..they do it in epic war movies or lord of the rings battles...
