Wimbledon’s Post Roof Phase: Artificial Turf, Page 3 Girls Dancing Courtside, On-Site Gambling
Has anyone noticed how much the roof over Centre Court resembles both the old and new stadiums of the Dallas Cowboys? I have four suggestions they can implement since they are following the lead of the self-proclaimed America’s team: 1) The grass in Southwest London is already looking brown on day five, so they should put down artificial turf that won’t wear out. 2) They could liven things up on the sideline with the British equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, the Sun’s Page 3 girls (might as well incorporate the streakers.) 3) Since there is so much talk about odds set by bookies, put in on-site gambling and a big digital tote board in Centre Court so patrons can bet during matches. The roof already has a Vegas-casino look. 4) Sell the naming rights. Wimbledon is dated. How about the Fish and Chips Open? Or the British Airways Battle Royale?

They could slingshot t-shirts into the crowd during changeovers. Or have contests in between matches: For a chance to win a million pounds, would Ticketholder X please make their way to Centre Court to attempt to return Andy Roddick’s serve? They could start putting things like, “Make some noise!” up on the jumbo screen. They could have the players sign balls and hit them into the crowd at the end of a match. Oh, wait. . .

How about a monster truck/tractor pull in the tennis offseason?
