Improving the game day experience

Post

I would be willing to compile a list of items that the posters on the board would like for improving the game day experience and present it to my contact at FAU.  I think we have some of the most loyal fans here who have could provide some much needed constructive ideas for game day.  I understand that all of the items posted are not directly in FAU’s control but but they absolutely a say in all issues.

I’ll start with some random items:

Do not play music between plays when we are on offense

Hire someone to run the main board that knows how to run replays and complete the stats 

The Deck needs to be only for people who paid the premium to sit on the deck level

Correct staffing levels at the deck bar and Acura bars

Stop playing music while we are on offense.

More free t shirts (doesn’t get people to go, I just like them).

More efficient metal detectors getting into game (this is more of a general qualm with football games).

Other than that, FAU does a pretty good job on gamedays to be honest. We should be glad & grateful.

1.) Charging stations for Gameday
2.) Pick a song that gets the crowd fired up for the start of the 4 quarter.
3.) how about one game a year as a star wars night.
4.) When you honor the military, get the name of the military hymns right. Its the Marine Hymn, not the Marine Song, its the Navy Hymn, not the Navy Song and etc.
5.) More family orientated contest. seems like all the contest involved the students more than the regular fans.

Yeah the staffing in Hyundai Deck at the bar has been my biggest gripe since the stadium opened. The time it takes to get a beer or drink is appalling. Doesn’t matter if we have 20k or 8k.

Agreed but there are always ways to improve.  This is not intended to be a b#$*h session just a list of areas to improve the overall experience.

The bar thong doesn't bother me because I buy from the vendors. I only drink beer and I'll pay extra to not leave my swat. But the scoreboard thing is so right on. Let utilize it . Train someone to  control it. The only other thing is Mali g sure only people who pay for the deck, get into the deck. Absolutely POOR control. I'm not very smart and I may or may not have gotten friends in. How about, see the ticket, give little bracelet thing, tear ticket in have , voiding that ticket from being used again. Make sure the ticket can only be used once. That is key. The other stuff, quiet on o and loud on d , is a learned behavior . Fan lack of knowledge is the root of that problem. God I can't wait
