While nothing was as good as Hogan's heroes, especially when someone fails at the speccie and lands on their head.....I witnessed a really intriguing event while at the local ice hockey game in Revelstoke, Canada.

As a fund raiser during the 1/3 time break while they re-ice the rink they drive a golf cart around the ice.  On top of the golf cart is a large bucket.  Before and during the game you can buy 3 frisbees for $5 , each marked with a number that is assigned to you. 

If you can get your frisbee into the bucket you get 1/2 of the nights takings from frisbee sales.  It was amazing to see thousands of frisbees hurled into the arena, with a couple of successes to share the prize pool. 

Can you imagine the same at the MCG?  Might be a little harder to clean up than the 1/2 dozen kids with huge brooms at the ice-rink were able to do......  but a real earner for that local club.....

That video reminds me of the iron man challenges back on the Commerce department lawns at Melbourne Uni many years ago.

You wouldn't want to try it after a few beers and hot dogs.

I like the frisbee idea... other than someone being hit on the head (and you'd have to be unlucky for it to be going at speed) it sounds safe. Could be impractical in an big outdoor arena like the MCG but worth thinking about similar activities. Certainly more fun than the chook raffle or similar that's run now.
