Harlem Globetrotters

January 13, 2025

About The Event

The Harlem Globetrotters™ are THE originators of basketball style, captured by their dynamic athleticism, unique skill, and historical influence on the modern game of basketball. Since 1926, the Globetrotters, proud members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, have used their legendary global tour to showcase their iconic brand of basketball to tens of millions in over 124 countries and territories across six continents.

They have expanded the brand by coming back to network television for the first time in 40 years with their Emmy-nominated NBC series “Harlem Globetrotters: Play it Forward,” which also airs on Telemundo as “Harlem Globetrotters: Ganando Con La Comunidad.” Content partners include Hidden Pictures, Atmosphere TV, and Hearts Media Production Group; consumer partnerships include Sprayground, Undercrwn, Macy's, and Hybrid; and additional partnerships include our official tour partner Jersey Mikes, official ball partner, Spalding, Viral Nation Hoop Culture, and Citi.

Coined by the U.S. State Department in 1951 as Ambassadors of Goodwill, the team leverages its moniker to drive its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts around its strategic pillars of Health & Wellness, Education, and Community Empowerment. These efforts have yielded partnerships with the likes of Microsoft, the U.S. State Department of Sports Diplomacy, The National Archives, ‘Great Assist’ in partnership with Jersey Mike’s Subs, Campus Multimedia Court of Creativity, and Comic Relief Red Nose Day.

EVOLVE GATE SCREENING TECHNOLOGY

Pinnacle Bank Arena will utilize new gate screening technology. The walk-thru frictionless technology should provide a more efficient gate screening process and enhance patron safety. The arena has secured the same gate screening technology that Nebraska Athletics introduced at Memorial Stadium before the 2024 football season. 

The new gate scanners have no impact on Pinnacle Bank Arena’s Clear Bag Policy, which remains in place for all events.
