Hopefully someone will help out the out of town fans and take a video of the pregame intros with the new lights and video! I'll be watching on the stream, but I'm not sure if they will have all of that on camera for us.

I'll try to remember for you. No promises that I don't have a few before the game and forget though.

Why are they practicing at EBA?

Why are they practicing at EBA?

Should the first time they shoot on their home court in 8 months be on Friday at 7pm?

Why are they practicing at EBA?

Because you don't play games in your practice facility.

I aka can't attend because I'm getting married. So a video of the intro serves as a perfect wedding gift!

Congrats on one hand and WTF ?? On another -- married on a Friday night?

I kid I kid - welcome to the village of the damned -- years of happiness and all that.

No stats or fouls shown , kind of need that when you're watching live

Agree the intro was killer. Like others said finally felt like a real college basketball experience.

The video should play replays, and during the game we need a more robust stat graphic on the small screens.
With that said exponentially better experience!!!

While stats did appear with some regularity on the corner video screens, the appearances were not long enough to absorb the information. The information on individual players is posted by the player's uniform number (this was also true with the old board) and I haven't yet memorized our players' numbers, so there is a lag for me in understanding what I'm looking at. Less of a problem with the old board, because the information was always present.

I'm not arguing that I prefer the old board: it's clear that the current board provides more excitement and is more versatile. And I know that the ads shown on the same screens help pay for the new system, but I hope some tweaking of the current system is possible.

the fact that this is what we are reduced to complain about -- we are in high cotton now.

Turn on your iPhone or buy one, download ESPN app, enter NCAA BB, enter A10, enter George Mason as a ♥️ fav and feast on all the data you need. All in the palm of your hand. Data when you want it.

Agreed...but still nice to have that info at a glance. I don't like looking at my phone during game action.

Much better job posting the individual player stats for the Binghamton game--just having one team's players listed in one corner video and the other team in the other corner made it much easier to read. And the numbers were up longer; not quite as long as I would like but much improved.

The new video board and lights, along with the intro, are amazing! Completely different experience, I love how they keep the upper level lights dimmed during the game as well. There was a pretty sparse crowd last night (around 3K I think), but the energy and atmosphere felt like that of a 5 or 6K crowd. Can't wait to see the place packed.

Us out of towners are still waiting for that player intro video.

They showed it on the livestream last night.

I think he's referring to posting the actual video, not just a video of the video.

 

[Jack Strop]

I don't think video shot from someone's iPhone will do justice to the new introduction format. The sound would be horrendous and you'd miss the periphal vision experience, as well as that of observing the effects upon the fans in attendance. It's better if you come visit to see it yourself.
