Dome metal detector thread

[Christopher Moen]

Captain you are brighter than that. We're not the funny farm. Just throw your keys down, walk through, and move onto your seat. Not a slowup in the Hawks' Nest.

You need enough fans to show up first before worrying about any type of bottlenecking issues at the gate(s).

We sailed through them on the west side no problem.

The buzzer went off as I went through. I said 2 metal hips they did a quick wand and away we went. I was really surprised on how fast it was.

Good thing you don't still have that metal plate in your head...

Yes, dome staff on the East side did a great job! The student line however, was moving very very slowly. (Daughter has done this for a few yrs, & said this was the slowest ever.) That's why section 10 was SLOWLY filling up right at kickoff. (Someone on fb posted a photo of an empty section 10 (before kickoff) & that was NOT true. Many students were lined up outside, all the way to the street.) Sure, there was a small section of blue (unoccupied seats) in 10, but nothing to lose sleep over. Holiday weekend etc.

Because MANY of the students were coming in so slowly. I can also understand why there was a bit of confusion regarding where the students should sit in section 10. (Checking tickets of the non students, who may have moved lower thinking those seats were available.) The upper part of section 10 looked like reserve seating to me.
Hopefully they will be able to speed up the process for this students before the next game?

I got reserved tickets in section 10 upper level Friday morning. The rows between the red seats and my row BB never got filled beyond 10% max. I assumed it was due to delays in the student line initially. But those rows stayed empty and I noticed a very limited number of people moving down to them as the game went on but that area stayed pretty empty.
