Improve Mason home game experience discussion

[GSII]

They have had surveys several times in the past few years about just about everything. I have to think that many of the improvements we've seen were due to comments that were provided.

Comments by whom? The fans that sit on their hands? We want more fans to come IN, not be scared off.

They sent them to season ticket holders and those who attended games in the past. I’ve always filled them out.

I wondered where the beer chug cam was late in the second, then the cameras pointed to Jay Marsh, didn’t he retire?

Had a blast tonight, student section did their thing tonight, but not gonna lie, on at least two occasions the camera crew was on beer drinking posters and as soon as they went for the chug they jerked the camera off and swapped to a different camera. Absolutely great win, loved the whole thing, but if the admin made a point not to show chuggers then they are softer than I thought.

Boo. Follow the coach’s lead on this one guys. He’s trying to build something here.

Slow improvement even in 115. Those that for years have been silent actually said something tonight. Great job by the band sending people down to teach the students how to cheer. Baby steps in Fairfax.

Bells Two Hearted Ale was tragically absent from all vendors at the game last night. This aggression will not stand, man.

Everybody needs to keep calm and try an ale!

This reminds me of something work related (that sounds weird). A coworker and I find amusement in the email addresses that are assigned at our customer. It is lastname followed by first initial or however many from first name are needed to make it unique. Our favorite email address was:
moranal
And it was a for a woman.

Careful, if you say “anal” three times @Pikapppatri8 appears

M'k... back to the discussion in hand regarding the game experience.

It appears that some are none too happy with the player introduction video during home games (yeah, it's a little long). I indulge you by providing you with the name of the manager who may be of service. Offer your criticisms and suggestions to Jacob Bear, Men's Basketball Director of Creative Media, and see where it leads.

Please do not email a member of the staff to complain about the intros.

Why not? We have so many Athletic Directors on this forum who have no quarrels against complaining for complaint's sake. Sh¡t rolls downhill.

 

[Yossarian]

Yeah, the super-hyped intros are awkward and uncomfortable. Smacks of poor taste and a lack of humility. Less strutting, more winning.

 

[Yossarian]

New suggestion- open the beer concessions again in OT scenarios. Seems reasonable.

Mason fans were in rare form vs. St. Louis last night. It has been a LONG time since I was forced to stand to see over those standing in front of me in sections of many seasons past—101, 114, 118, 114 (again). Perhaps our fans are on to something here? Perhaps our fans, rabid and common and casual, actually do know what they're supposed to do to support our team in-game? Perhaps one giant HAS awoken? Meaningful games will do that... it's about time.

KE was waving his arms begging the crowd to get up. Eagle Bank was rocking last night but overall we are still pathetic until proven otherwise.

Fans had the most energy last night then I can recall - came alive in the 2nd half and all of OT. Place was rocking. Green Machine was on point!

God bless beer sales! Maybe everyone in attendance should get a free beer to loosen their panties up.

vcu homecoming game should be rocking non-stop. May sneak a keg up to Wilson 3rd at 10am to show these students how we used to do!

Snuck a keg up the stairwell of Commonwealth for Mason day back in the day.

The process sucked but the end result was worth it.
