I would add an indoor tailgate to the 2 nd floor conference rooms for some games including last weekend. Screen people in advance. Let them upstairs to hang out inside with a cash bar. Maybe a bouncer for the kids. Then escalator down to an open unobstructed stadium entrance. I think some aging fans, young families or multigenerational families might like this more so than outside or no tailgating and then waiting in lines to get in. Make it kind of like a Pepfest at the end with a few band members, Thundar, dancers and cheerleaders. Maybe so some private reserved spots in attempt to solicit donations. Let some campus club, fraternity or sorority do valet parking and keep the change.

After the game let them back up and have the charters ready to book. Or those big checks to sign made up during the game.

The conference rooms are used before games. For instance, the tree bowl has a luncheon before the game as does the harvest bowl winners.

Those “in charge” should put themselves through our gameday experience. Wait in line to get into Tailgate, spend 2-4 hours there, try to get into Dome with all the others using detectors and scanners, deal with poor concessions and food options, use the “low class” restrooms (waiting their turn in line), etc., so they better understand how poor things are being done. They are immune to it right now and also, apparently, don’t give a damn, because they can just rely on the product on the field.

Lakes/Chapo is wrong on a lot of things, but he isn’t wrong on admin/authorities being lackadaisical and just maintaining status quo.

Also, lots of great input here from people who are solid thinkers, creative and should be listened to.

It was mentioned by Kolpack on one of Izzo's shows that there could do something as simple as having a DJ in one of the corners instead of the crappy pumped in music they play during some of the dead time. Like after the marching band is off the field and they play music over loud speakers for 5 minutes. Before the game when the players are warming up(doesn't have to be blaring loud) or right before the lights go out. Have the DJ play the songs the team wants to warm up to. A simple DJ setup in the corner that can be seen from the stands, simple light "show" on them and then put the camera on them for a few minutes throughout the "event" that is the game. There is plenty of down time they could fill.

I don't hate the idea of a drum line like the Vikings and other NFL teams have. Have them come out into the endzone 2-3 times a game during down time like between qtrs and stuff.

There are so many little things that can be done to bring some life to the times were they have been doing the same dame thing since the dome opened with the same music(don't care how old or new) and the same announcements and the same dead air.

Ok I gotta ask. Are peoples attention spans so disjointed from being connected 24/7 that every waking second something has to be going on???? I really dont get it.

Is this the thread to ask for more Def Leppard in the dome prior to the game?

They would fuck that up too. It would be the Bison DJ, sponsored by [enter prominent business.] Then during the music, Dan Michael's will read off 9 different commercials.

I love the fact we have corporate support, but all this corporate fecees is smeared everywhere. It's soulless,
lifeless and sterile. It's fucking annoying and makes me want to blow my brains out

I think the proseed guy should DJ and play nothing but George Straight.
