Why make them?  You can buy them at Walmart for a couple bucks.  There are usually with Camping and Sporting goods.

i made one. it's as big as a softball at least.you start with 1 rubberband and tie it into knots.take another one and tie it around the 1st one(into knots) keep doing this until ball is big enough to wrap bands around. some people use an object to start wrapping bands around. but that is cheating to me

you need an x-14 reynolds conductor. If you can't find one, cover your head with aluminum foil and put headphones on, listen to John philips Sousa march music..this will keep the voices at bay

You can build it out of wood or plywood but you need to top it with puck board. I don't acutally know what that is but that's what someone told me to do. I think it's a board made out of the stuff that makes pucks but it can't be cheap or even easy to find. You should probably just go to home depot and ask someone there what would be good because you ask this question a lot, and obviously none of us are helping you.

Awesome, I want to do the same thing, not the Longhorns though...\n\nIf you have struck out everywhere else, the only suggestion I can come up with is to go to this website and have one custom made:\n\nhttp://www.teamcheer.com/department.asp?id=94

That's not going to be an easy task.\nIt's not usually done.\n\nEbay has soldering tools, even SMT ones.

Back in the day, hockey sticks were made from Rock Elm.  This wood was preferred because it was so strong yet light.  Since the Dutch Elm disease outbreak in the early 90's wiped out most of the supply, manufactures changed to White Ash (same thing most baseball bats are made of).  It's not as strong, but it's about 1/5 of the cost.\n\nIt's pretty rare to find a wood stick nowadays - sometimes wood blades, but not a wood stick.  They make the sticks in a very similar way to baseball bats.  The manufactures find a very straight grain in a piece of wood, cut to the desired length, and cut out a notch (hole) for the blade.  A wood, wood/fiberglass, or carbon composite blade is then inserted in the notch.  It's pretty rare to find a one-piece wood.  These were extremely expensive to make, and if you snapped your blade,  the whole stick had to be junked.  Two-piece designs allow you to snap the blades all you want and still re-use the same stick over and over.\n\nHowever there isn't much to a one-piece wood stick.  The manufactures took a larger diameter tree and cut with the grain and across the widest part of the tree for the blade.  This process would yield about 2 one-piece sticks for every 6' of wood.  Not too efficient.

call a local concreat company and let him know it is for a community arena and ask him for this info.  They will probably give you a general idea.

Have you tried adding some kind of animation to it? My idea was doing something along the lines of those big Keno game screens you see at the super market at the lotto desk. The one that shows the current game and has something like bouncing balls land on the number called, or a hockey puck slide in and hit the number called. \n\nThen of course when there is a bingo, make the row spin, change color, throw a party or whatever. The idea is to make the game much like a casino. That will snag you some people willing to play.

Umm there is this one company, Bauer Compressors or something like that but I don't know their website. I hear that the compressors are really expensive though, definately not worth it if you don't own a field

You'd need a sound converter program.  You can find one easily on www.download.com.
