Improve Mason home game experience discussion

[Ben Chwarmer]

My one complaint—very Mason-like—is the Spirit merchandise trailer location. It’s at the south entrance, but most fans park in Lot K and enter through the north entrance. Casual fans aren’t checking social media to know it even exists. It really should be parked outside the box office where the majority of fans pass through.

I did hear an announcement during vcu game to go at halftime.

It was raining yesterday while waiting in line to get into EBA for the vcu game. I think Mason Athletics next time should put up some tents at all of the EBA entrances so that fans don't have to stand outside in the rain.

Also, sell coffee/hot chocolate, and have food trucks outside EBA. That would be another revenue stream aside from the gear trailer.

We were sitting in the car, and my son was going crazy trying to get me out in the rain. We waited until 11:01 and then walked right in. He was worried a thousand people would be desperate for the rally towels. I don't know what's it like to get to the gold room but there was no need for anyone else to be standing in line.

That’s nothing. @GMU79 ‘s dad took him to watch Lee surrender at Appomattox.

I was actually going to post something, but there's no need to now.

First 500 students of age I am assuming?

Don't like it, but you guys already know that.

Would offer students free hot dogs and soda each game. Show/scan your student ID at the booth and get up to 2 free hot dogs each game.

I'm not disagreeing that the Mason game day experience needs work, and we need to get attendance up to what this team deserves. I will offer, if it makes anyone feel any better, I regularly get to Delaware and Temple games (CUSA and AAC) and the Mason experience is WAY better. I'm also surprised that a pretty good Temple team with a lot of history is incredibly poorly attended.

Absolutely great environment today. Don’t know how it looks on TV but in person I almost came to tears at how enjoyable an evening this was.

Turns out best way to improve the game day atmosphere is to hire a coach that not only is talented as f**k but loves his school with a passion.

Thank you Tony Skinn. We love you man. Hope
You can stay here your entire career. We need to
Somehow come up with the money.

Looked great on tv from Florida. Wish I was there.

Two great games in a row. If the crowds bring the energy and the performers help keep it up, we forget about the things we complained about at the start of the season (but please still improve the concessions).
Like B&J cart was out of several flavors before halftime; but that's ok cause everything else felt so great.

If so, I’ll fly up for the next game!

One aspect that needs to improve from these last two games is parking attendants getting people off campus. Some brutal wait times and nonsensical traffic patterns.

Ummmm - do they have a flyer?

I'm all for modernizing the experience, but that thing the DJ does with Livin' on a Prayer has got to go. Give it back to the band.

South entrance...it's even available during midweek women's games. $10 for a cone.
