Two major Tasmanian venues will host offical live screenings of the highly anticipated JackJumpers game against Melbourne United tonight.
The MyState Bank Arena match sold out within minutes earlier this week, leaving many fans disappointed and calling for a larger venue for the team’s home games.
Tonight’s NBL Championship Grand Final Series will be streamed live at Princes Wharf No. 1 (PW1) in Hobart and the Silverdome in Launceston from 7:30pm.
A public live site was unable to secured in the north-west due to existing bookings, with team officials promising to arrange another if a fifth finals game is needed.
However, the game will stream to a limited audience at the Metro Cinema in Burnie.
JackJumpers CEO Christine Finnegan said she hoped to see a strong turnout from the “ant army” to support the team.
“We really encourage anyone who has missed out on a ticket to head to these sites and support the team together and feel that sense of community that has been so crucial to our success,” she said.
PW1 will open at 5:30pm, with various seating options and food vans available, while The Silverdome will open its doors from 7pm.
Bookings are not required for the screenings, but fans are advised to arrive early to secure their spot.
