I think the in-game entertainment and promotions were good before Griff. I blame him.
George Shinn was a cheapo but the nonbasketball entertainment was on point, with Hugo doing fun skits, the Honeybees, used-to-bees, guys night out tickets, etc.
A lot of that continued after the pelicans rebrand. But then at some point they replaced the person who did Pierre and the mascot stopped being fun. Then take away the dance team and all the fun performances and it's crap now. There wasn't even Pierre the past 2 home games. I miss even the most basic things like him waving the big flag at center court.
And the line to enter SKC when you have a bag is ridiculous compared to the non-bag line. Not a personal problem for me, but it seems like everything about the game day experience has fallen off a cliff since Griff, leaving aside basketball which is a whole diff conversation.

Well, tbf they have had to deal with covid regulations for over a year (like they stated) that has hampered alot.

Yeah, this is the cheapest feeling year I've ever experienced and I've been a full season ticket holder for over a decade. No Pierre anymore, no dance team, even the arena announcer sounds bored. It feels like an eternity since the time when you saw Pierre and the dance team going around the arena throwing and shooting T-shirts in the second half, and I never realized how much better than nothing that crap is.
It all starts with winning though. The fans will show up if they win, and they have in the short bursts when they won.

I mean. People actually care about in game entertainment besides the game?
