Half time – Crowd and screen interactions
Have some fun at half time! We’ve got a kiss cam, bongo cam and emoji cam for fans to get involved in.
The team at B1 Homes want to give you a $5,000 build voucher towards a new home. To win, grab a friend, family member, partner or the person in the seat next to you, be arm in arm, hug or kiss, ‘become one’. If the camera lands on you embracing in a B1moment, you could win. It doesn’t matter how it’s done, just as long as two become one for a B1moment.
