Keith Prowse Press Release

The Miami Heat and New Jersey Nets basketball teams slamdunk into London in October and Keith Prowse will be in on the action. The corporate hospitality provider is the exclusive provider for the pre-season game which will be battled out at The O2 arena in London.

Ted Walker, marketing manager, Keith Prowse, said: “This is the first time we’ve worked at The O2 arena which is the most popular entertainment arena in Europe. The O2 will be the venue for some of the world’s best basketball players and I’m sure fans will see a fantastic game. We’re thrilled that we are the exclusive corporate hospitality providers for the match and look forward to working with The O2 on future projects.”

The Keith Prowse hospitality package includes:
• Private tables of 10 in the ‘Dine and View’ Restaurant with viewing balcony or private tables of 10 in the ‘Dine and View’ Restaurant with exclusive floor seats.
• Champagne reception on arrival
• Complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks available in the restaurant
• Pre-match American themed buffet

The New Orleans Hornets and Washington Wizards complete the quartet of teams participating in NBA Europe Live 2008 with games scheduled in Berlin, Germany and Spain.

Following NBA Europe Live 2008, NBA teams will have played 48 games in 18 cities throughout Europe over the past 10 decades, including last year’s seven successful NBA Europe Live games, which drew more than 10.3million viewers and 75,000 spectators.

Visit London’s Chief Executive James Bidwell said: “Last year’s sell out game at The O2 arena attracted visitors from across the UK and Europe and bolstered London’s reputation as the most prestigious global sporting city in the world.”
