Greetings, traveler. When exploring the universe we often find that, as enjoyable as the sights are, it is the people we encounter who make it truly special. That’s why the team at the OBSERVIST LIFESTYLE is here to bring you firsthand looks at the diverse tapestry of unique cultures that can be found across the Empire and beyond.
Sataball. A favorite pastime throughout the UEE. What started as a simple game devised by the children of early colonists has blossomed over the decades into an Imperial obsession and full-blown multibillion credit sports phenomenon. From a rowdy crowd gathered around a large screen in a bar to a few close friends intently peering at mobiGlas, it seems that no matter the planet or station you visit, you can be sure that you’ll be greeted by the familiar sounds of people enjoying a Sataball match. What you may be interested to learn, however, is the same is becoming true outside of Human space as well.
It wasn’t so long ago that you’d be hard pressed to find a Banu in the stands of a Sataball stadium, but these days, fans have grown accustomed to the sight of Banu cheering right alongside them. According to statistics provided by the Sataball Professional League, in 2944 Banu sales made up almost 35% of the total ticket revenue for the year, with border systems having even higher attendance numbers. In response, some locations have started catering to this unique demographic by offering Banu concessions and announcers.
To learn more about this growing phenomenon, I reached out to Joyce Te?o, General Manager of the Nemo Crashers. According to her, Banu involvement in the sport didn’t quite start on the straight and narrow, “It used to be that you saw a Banu at a match, you could pretty much guarantee that they were there running book on it, but I guess somewhere along the line, between figuring out handicaps and calculating the spread, they sorta fell in love with the game. No surprise there, really. Sataball offers excitement and entertainment like few other sports can. Most people find themselves hooked after seeing the Crashers play. Wasn’t too long before we went from one, to a handful, to a few dozen, to now we’re getting entire sections that are just Banu cheering their hearts out.” But it appears that all that cheering may be causing a few problems of its own [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
While many appreciate the Banu fans’ enthusiasm, it seems that some attendees are finding them to be a bit too boisterous. Conrad Hatch, a long-time Ferron Lancers booster, explains, “It’s not that they’re cheering that bothers me. It’s the fact that they don’t stop that’s so annoying.” It turns out that most Banu have eschewed the more traditional route of picking a favorite team to support and have instead opted to root equally for both teams when they attend a Sataball game. Fellow Ferron Lancer fan Mitch Drolt counters, “I like having them there. You can tell how much they love the game and they add a lot of great energy. Even the simplest play feels like a big deal. Makes you appreciate the athletes a bit more.” When I asked Joyce about this mixed reaction, she said, “To help alleviate complaints from some of the more vocal fans, the ticketing manager started separating the Banu out into their own area right between the home and away sections. That way it feels more natural when they cheer after every play.”If you want to learn information, you can visit our website [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you also can buy more [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Of course, the only way to really find out what a Banu fan experience is like is to join them for a match.
