GLB can be a little frustrating, a little tense and at times a little tedious.
We need a little more LOL.
I suggest
A HALF TIME SHOW!
Here is how it would work.
Half Time Banner A team owner can enter a 50 character half time banner message. This must comply to forum rules and team name rules for content. (option, this could be set to vary game by game in the Tactics Calender, or the Promotions Scheduler).
Announcer A team owner or co-owner, or a GM with Financial powers, would be able to upload a 75 x 75 Gif "Announcer" gif, which would have to conform to the same rules for a team or player avatar. The default announcer is the one seen in the Promotions screen.
"Mascot" Avatar - A team owner or co-owner, or a GM with Financial powers, would be able to upload a 75x75 "Mascot" gif, which would have to conform to the same rules for a team or player avatar. The default mascot is the one seen in the Promotions screen.
"Cheer Leader" Avatar - A team owner or co-owner, or a GM with Financial powers, would be able to upload a 100 x 100 Gif "Cheer Leader" gif, which other than dimensions and size (45 instead of 30) would have to conform to the same rules for a team or player avatar. The default avatar is the one seen in the Promotions screen.
Dance Team Avatar A team owner or co-owner, or a GM with Financial powers, would be able to upload a 150 x 150 Gif "Dance Team" gif, which other than dimensions and size (60 instead of 30) would have to conform to the same rules for a team or player avatar. The default avatar is the one seen in the Promotions screen.
Half Time Music Bort would whip up a selection of short audio files. A team owner or co-owner, or a GM with Financial powers, would be able to select one of these files to be the Half Time Music for the up coming game (option, this could be set in the Tactics Calender, or the Promotions Scheduler). The default avatar is the one seen in the Promotions screen.
These would be used to make the Half Time Show as follows.
Half Time Show
At the Half on the Replay Screen, you would see the stadium as normal for a replay, with the 50 yard line center screen.
At the very top the screen will say "Half Time!"
There would be three fields of display, the Booth Section, the Centerfield Show section, and the Ceremony Section, these being the top third, middle third and bottom third of the visible portion of the field.
BOOTH SECTION (this is the same for ALL shows) - The Teams Announcer Avatar is displayed center screen at the top of the field, and the Team Banner is displayed below this centered and in large print in the team main color outlined in the secondary color, all outlined in a thin white border to ensure legibility.
CEREMONY SECTION (this is the same for ALL shows) - Centered from top of the Ceremony Section to the Bottom are as follows - a text message that says "Welcome to the Half Time Show at (Promotion Name - Free Nacho etc Day ) " at (Field Name) or simply "Welcome to the Half Time Show at (Field Name) if there is no game day promotion for this game. Below this text message is the Avatar for the Game Day Promotion. For Mini Helmet Days and for Player Appreciation Day the Promotion Avatar is side by side with the Player Avatar of the Player selected. If there is no game day promotion the "We're Number 1" concession avatar is shown instead.
Below the Avatar are today' s attendance figures by ticket type.
To the lower right the visiting teams transportation and lodging avatars are displayed as well and to the left and right are the total Promotion/Transportation/Lodging Morale boosts for each team.
CENTERFIELD - During Half Time an Avatar or Avatars will move from left to right across the center of the screen. During that time the selected "Half Time Music" audio will play.
The avatars that cross the field and what they do will depend on the type of season promotion for the home team.
No Promotion -
The Team Avatar moves across the screen.
Public Address Announcer Setting -
Across the Center of the Screen moves from left to right two Bort Balloons flanking Bort's Avatar.
Team Mascot Setting -
Across the Center of the Screen moves from left to right two Team Avatars flanking the Team Mascott Avatar.
Cheerleaders Setting -
Across the Center of the Screen moves from left to right two Team Avatars flanking the Team Cheerleaders Avatar.
Dance Team Setting -
Across the Center of the Screen moves from left to right two Team Avatars flanking the Team Dance Team Avatar.
Half Time Entertainment Show Setting -
Across the Center of the Screen moves from left to right the Team Mascot and the Team Cheerleaders flanking the Team Dance Team Avatar. As they reach Center Field they stop and spin and shake while a fire works graphic explodes over head and a "Go Team" sound plays. They then move off screen to the right.
After the Half Time Show (which should take about five seconds to ten for the Half Time Show) the screen clears as the text exits to the right and the whistle blows and the second half replay begins.
A Next Play button will allow the screen to be skipped, so make sure your team messages and avatars are amusing enough to be watched!
EDIT - per the suggestion below adding
Maybe after the show give a first half game summery. Stats on one side and replays on the other.
Here is how it might look....
