Basketball - Purchased BBL is looking for the normality: In sight as early

Telekom Baskets Bonn, additionally recognized as Baskets Bonn, is a German specialist basketball club that is based in Bonn, Germany. The club plays in the Basketball Bundesliga, which is the highest degree pro basketball league in Germany. The club s sponsor is the German firm, Deutsche Telekom, a significant telephone as well as web company, which additionally sells smart phones (T-Mobile) in the United States. The club s residence field is the Telekom Dome. The Baskets reached the German Organization Final 4 9 times in 17 years of league association, and also belong to Germany s most effective groups. Bonn got to the league finals five times, in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2008, and also 2009, albeit losing on each celebration.

After Corona season a good bit of normality returns to the basketball league. About 70 percent of the audience seats can be occupied at the start of the new season, the professionals are quite completely vaccinated.

The quota Stefan wood is pretty proud. A player is not vaccinated. One , the Managing Director of Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) emphasizes just before the start of the season, that s a blast. Better the conditions at Corona protection could not be more, and in other problem areas it looks good.

It returns a good bit of normality when the champion Alba Berlin and Telekom Baskets Bonn on Thursday night (20.30 pm) on the first tip-off the 56th season are facing. Finally fans can again in the halls, and in the whole of reasonable sizes - not just symbolic, says Wood in Sid -Gespräch, which is a nice restart.

After Corona year, the situation has eased. About 70 percent of the seating capacity are available on the opening day. Whether all the seats are occupied remains to be seen. I think this is already not a foregone conclusion. In summary, it will be the same again, said Wood, maybe not at the beginning.

In the provinces, the guidelines are different - like pandemic since the beginning. In Bavaria, the smaller sites can fill up the stands, which also applies to the clubs from Baden-Wuerttemberg. In Lower Saxony, the matter is somewhat different, more than 50 percent are not currently there.

BBL: Oldenburg open letter to Prime Minister Stephan Weil

Therefore, the EWE Baskets Oldenburg had recently turned in an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Weil, full capacity 2G demanded and even drawn a legal battle into consideration for threatened distortion of competition.

I understand, of course, the Hermann Schüller, who goes on the warpath, says Wood - Schüller is managing director in Oldenburg. Because of the differences in potential ticket sales has certainly been discussions in the league.

We could have said. We find a baseline that applies to all the lowest common denominator, 50 percent or so, said Wood. But we decided against it. Such legislation makes no sense, too, we have said. Holt on site the maximum out What can naturally cause there are differences, but over the entire season, all this will level off again...

Economically, the League Boss good things. The clubs had finally made it over the top it in the last season under extremely difficult conditions all. In terms of sponsors could still a dent come that we see only the horizon.

BBL: Clubs should plan spectators utilization 50 percent

In the budgets of the clubs should allow 50 percent of viewers utilization. Already, many higher. Bayern Munich may be occupied by 5750 6700 places. And the season is long, says Wood. We play to rein in June. I can imagine that we will ever see anywhere full halls.

That it at Bayern, the biggest back next title contender Alba are recently gave Corona cases, makes wood already worried. It is simply that there are these Impfdurchbrüche after all. That s why we are here, of course, not so relaxed.

With scheduling problems due to cancellations wood does not expect more. I think we get around automatic team quarantines. And then we also have significantly less game linings.
