Thunderdome
Each year the Events Center, affectionately known as the Thunderdome, hosts over 500,000 spectators and guests for Men's and Women's Basketball, Volleyball, concerts, lectures, intramural leagues, physical education classes, recreation, summer camps (including the Los Angeles Lakers basketball camp and the Michael Jordan summer camp), and professional basketball fall training camps (past years include the Lakers and Grizzlies). A variety of banner options in the Thunderdome can help you best reach your target audience.
- Men's/Women's Game Sponsorship - The Campus Events Center has earned the nickname "Thunderdome" because of the crowd noise often heard here. UCSB has one of the best home-court advantages in the country because of the noise level and crowd participation. Get maximum exposure and be sure to reach every gaucho fan with the whole works. Rotating floor signs, logo recognition on the front cover of a game day program, as well as press releases and advertisements for the sponsored game, public address announcements at all Men's and Women's home games and a presentation of a game ball prior to a sponsored game. This is a sure fire way to have every fan leaving with your company's name on the tip of their tongue. But best of all, you get to watch the action with 50 tickets for the sponsored game.
- End Court Signage - Arena signs provide tremendous exposure to UCSB students and the community alike. A 6' x 4' mounted sign at all Men's and Women's basketball home games is sure to catch the eye of every gaucho fan. In addition to athletic events, the banners are present for all other Thunderdome activities and special events.

Baseball Stadium
- The Big West is one of the biggest conferences that features baseball and UCSB hosts powerhouses like UCLA, USC and Cal State Fullerton, which are sure to draw a large crowd. Be sure to reach these fans with 6' x 10' or 16' banners on the outfield fence at beautiful Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. The stadium comfortably seats 1,000 fans for Gaucho baseball, Santa Barbara Foresters semi-pro baseball, and select high school games throughout the year.
Soccer Stadium
- Soccer fever is sweeping UCSB and Santa Barbara. The men's team in 2002 claimed its first ever spot in the NCAA tournament, hosting the first round in front of a crowd of over 3,000 rowdy fans. UCSB soccer has since then continued to make postseason appearances, including one in front of a record crowd of over 11,000 in 2004. The UCSB men's team continues to reach these loyal followers and local families with a 34" x 4' or 8' sideline banner. The popularity of Gaucho soccer is growing fast so get in on the action early!
