Gameday Experience

[G M U]

The lyrics could be routinely printed on the inside back page of the free game program.

we all know it's this line: "We’ll prove our honor and might" that just doesn't fit the tempo and messes everybody up.

Yep, 10000% correct. Just sounds like a jumbled mess when the students try to sing that part together.

I have problems with both bleachers not being in unison. I also luv Doc Nix but sometimes we need to play the overhead music like K State does to put the crowd into a frenzy chanting KSU - for us GMU! Watch the youtube of KSU.

 

[Falco]

A new intro would be nice. Also it looks so stupid when we have chearleaders cheering on the student section when there is like 10 kids in the stands. I'm thinking about over the xmass break.

And please bring down the price. Most fair weather fans are not willing to pay 20 bucks to see an average basketball team.

We've needed a new announcer for years now. He's a one trick pony and has done the same schtick forever. Its actually surprising that he hasn't tried to change it up at some point or add new wrinkles into it, but I guess whatever floats his boat.

Did anyone else get the survey more than once? I'm up to four now (and they're not reminder messages). I sent the ticket office a note about it.

It appears there are two surveys, one gameday and one for season ticket holders.

But yes I got them several times.

 

[MasonCrew]

I did get multiple. However I filled them all out so that my opinion is over represented and the likelihood of me getting what I want increases.

 

[Vurbel]

We get on a run, the crowd is excited, so rather than something exciting we play the fight sing nobody knows the lyrics to. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Much better energy tonight, not sure what it was but even when the team was down, people seemed into it. Hopefully homecoming is similar.

All right, I'm a little pissed! I was in the Gold Room pre-game and I didn't have time to finish my sandwich. I walked through the exit and the staff said that I couldn't take it with me to my seat. OK, that's ridiculous! So I walked to the back of the room and slipped the plate under the curtain in an attempt to grab it as I passed it on the outside on my way to my seat. As I walked down the concourse, a Gold Room attendant approached me and said they saw me place the sandwich there for me to slyly pick up and threw it away, thus thwarting my crafty plan. Whatever?!?

Then during the halftime beer break, I grabbed a beer and walked to a table. At the table I instantly noticed that a couple had their beers on it along with each of them stuffing Chick-fil-A sandwiches down their throats! Sandwiches they brought INTO the Gold Room!!

Sooooooo, you can bring food in, but you take food out! I understand about not taking beer out, but a lousy sandwich can't exit with me!!! Horrendous policy.

I saw a clip about the new Mercedes Benz stadium, and they are making a point to have fair concession costs. Pretzel And hot dog only 2$. 4 buck nachos and 5 buck Burger

I think cheap concessions would go a long way at Mason. Bring the whole family.

Forget cheap, why isn't food free? There should be a full pregame buffet for all fans prior.

Could it be that the concessionaires have negotiated the agreement that no food or drink from Green & Gold room can be brought into the rest of the arena? That way their business is protected. Bringing in a Chick-Fil-A into the Green/Gold rooms doesn't cost the caterers for those rooms a dime. Also I was under the impression that the Green room only provides drinks at halftime, no food.

Yes, I get that and it was my theory as well when attempting to understand (not rationalize, mind you, dear reader) the basis behind a silly policy. How does such a policy really benefit the concession business? The likelihood that I was going to purchase more food beyond what I already consumed in the Gold Room is zero. Maybe I'd buy a desert later, but such a purchase is mutually exclusive.

Technically, the Gold Room is a concession. One must pay an additional fee when purchasing season tickets. Food is provided under the same roof. So what's the difference between The Gold Room, Chick-fil-A, and Paisano's Pizza other than the fact that the Gold Room is for "members only"?

And it's not like I could take a half sandwich and feed dozens of starving fans in Section 118! Such a policy protects nobody, is annoying to enforce by the staff (I'm sure), and even more annoying to Gold Room patrons who just want to finish their freakin' sandwich and not miss any of the game!

"- No food or drink is permitted outside of the hospitality rooms."

"Hospitality rooms open one hour prior to game time and close promptly at tip-off, then reopen at halftime. No food or alcohol is permitted outside of the hospitality rooms."

Thank you Capt. Obvious.

The rule is clear. The logic not so much.

The crux of the matter is that the action taken by the staff was justified and appropriate.

 

[Jack Strop]

No, Pablito, that's not the crux of the matter. I'm not blaming the staff for proper execution of their jobs, I'm questioning the rationale behind silly rules that they have to enforce. Big difference.

Do you ever go to restaurants that offer a buffet? Do you question the management on why they have a similar rule?

And, the name is "Pablo".
