Crowd sizes

[tbonezone]

Its too bad they dont come up with a way for people to let them know when they are not attending or using their lower bowl tickets and then let people upgrade for a fee to those seats at a cost

way back when i couldn't use my tickets i'd just make a few calls and find somebody who wanted to go. really wasn't that difficult.

Fran Brown was supposed to be introduced at halftime. He came out and spoke during a TO and no one was really expecting it. The whole thing was over in about 2 minutes. And if you weren't paying attention at the very start of it, it could have been just another promotional contest.

The AD has zero understanding of how to promote something. There's a bowl game coming, promote the players, promote the new HC, promote the changes. How about a video board intro? No one had time to put together a few clips? Freaking amateur hour.

Two other asides:
1) ADJW, HCFB, and Elijah Robinson all sat behind the home basket until the end of the half, left and never returned. Probably had to beat traffic.

2) No banner in the dome for Men's Soccer National Championship yet? That was one of the best things that happened (on the video board) in the dome last season.

The soccer team doesn't play in the dome. They have had their banner up in their home stadium where most banners go.

To be fair that’s not the ADs job

It’s the marketing teams job that he has hired


I’ve been saying there absolutely needs to be a change there

No disrespect intended, but money matters. Perception of people watching on tv doesn't matter a bit. NIL opportunities are ramping up. Recruiting is returning to an elite level. Let us enjoy a little optimism.

Football, yes. I am feeling hope and excitement again. I’m not sure how anyone can be optimistic about hoops when we need to turn over about 75% of the roster. We’ve been saying “wait till next year” for hoops for how many years now?

NIL kept Judah Mintz here and is getting stronger every day. Recruiting is bringing us two borderline 5 stars in 2024 and has us top of mind for a number of 2025 prospects. Lots of questions with the roster as it sits, but Chris Bell is showing signs of developing into a solid piece and Chance Westry will be back soon and could be the second best player on the team. Have to be optimistic. The alternative is just too painful!

AD=Athletic Department. Which is run by ADJW=Athletic Director John Wildhack. Fix the problem.

Announcement on pregame show and local media consistently said he would appear during one of the early game media timeouts. Halftime might have been better but then he would have to compete with the crowds rushing to the concourse to get another couple beers.

Exactly.

Halftime is for halftime activities, having him speak for a minute to a captive audience during 1 bojangles commercial is the smart move.

Man, people just shlit on everything….

The soccer team doesn't play in the dome. They have had their banner up in their home stadium where most banners go.

The rowing team doesn't compete in the dome either, but their pictures are all over the walls.

Maybe the soccer team should be playing in the dome or at least have their achievements be promoted there where the most people attend sporting events. None of this is set in stone and can't be changed. Promote the successes.

Don't mention playing in the Dome on turf to soccer fans. You'll never get the following 45 minutes of your life back!

[upperdeck]

didnt Dino come in and talk for decent amount of a half time 8 yrs ago?

 

[corpjet]

yup.. and 10k is top 30 in the country.. an empty dome is still one of the most attended games in the country. Our sucky nights are top 10-15 worthy..

We should have 10k students, get the school
Spirit going!

With that said does anyone know the capacity of our student section for hoops?

i have no idea, but i would bet that soccer had pictures on the walls as well.

title banners go to your home games are played.

whoa... hang on. it has been brought to my attention that... the mens rowing team (aka crew) has multiple national titles (1 we will call modern era)! Is their banner hanging in the dome?

Syracuse National Champions - Syracuse University Athletics

And people were probably pissed they couldn’t go get a beer or take a leak…and he probably talked for too long. We want results, not speaches.

The smart move, is to do it at either the under 12 or under 8 TV TO. This way it can be scheduled, he knows how long he has, the game has settled in and most people aren’t running to the concessions at that time.

They had a helluva run this year at The Royal Regatta in Henley-on-Thames. The evidence of which is still on the pub wall.

Didn't realize they only got one banner.

The LSU game was very bad weather. I went to Colgate and the crowd was really loud.

 

[CardiacCuse]

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not a high quality product. Not sure if I was local I’d go. But college basketball is a shell of its former self

partially a side-effect of NIL and the entitlement era

 

[MSOrange]

Didn't realize they only got one banner.

They've already got women's lacrosse, men's lacrosse, men's and women's basketball and football banners in the Dome. It'd just get lost if you start putting stuff for teams that don't even play there. Someone must have pissed in your cheerios lately.

The AD sets the accountability of the staff and departments.

If a group within your organization is consistently underperforming and changes are not made... its not on the department but on the boss.

LSU was during a snowstorm come on.

Every attractive opponent is being played in South Dakota or Hawaii.

Hopefully next year we try to get some better early season games and opponents into the Dome.
