A refrigerator schedule magnet would have been a nice touch. Not sure there are any perks with seasons tickets.

I have a few as well, but if I look at them on the fridge I'm probably missing the game.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Perhaps not, but it does prove that TV blackouts didn't hurt our attendance either.

I agree 100%

There were certainly some missteps early on but Rohds seems to be hitting his stride lately. The whole game day experience has been improving a little bit every year.

Credit where it's due, if nothing else the guy is at least putting in an effort, something we didn't see from the EEFC for a few years there.

The a/v presentation hasn't changed a bit. Same tired old worn out adaptation from what the Aquilla Oilkes production is. Apparently they feel there is absolutely nothing they can do better because they have made zero changes here. Apparently they haven't noticed there is also ZERO crowd response to their presentation as well

I enjoyed the alumni highlight on Gizmo, but that may not be a new production and just a rerun. The music for the cheerleading squad sounded about the same, that generic top 40 dance stuff.

One major improvement was how relatively little there was of Chris Scheetz. Instead of having his voice fill every pause in the action with commercial announcements there were times when there were moments of, relative, silence in the constant programming. Now if we as a crowd could remember how to fill those pauses with unprompted cheers we might be getting somewhere with the gameday experience.

Is that the next thing that Bob Nicholson will be working to improve?

So does that mean our entrance song is still that sappy, weakly-sounding country tune instead of a menacing, invigorating "Enter Sandman"-style piece?

Crud...

Actually don't mind the entrance song as its warrior by Imagine Dragons
