Pregame Experience - Mixed it up

I got stuck in the too-long line to get in and missed it. I'm not complaining, just explaining...I waited too long in the tailgate area, so that's on me.
 
How was Monte was riding around in that lift without a safety harness?
Yea it was ok, but also very crazy.
He/she didn’t fall out, but at that height and speed it would have been very ugly if something had gone wrong.
I bet there were some safety and insurance people in the crowd shaking their heads.
 
Sound system still sucks and Griz Vision went dark several times…very disappointing that nothing was done in the offseason to address these issues, especially If you want to be known as “The Mecca”.

Griz vision needs an upgrade. Been a while with screens and we're seeing more and more "glitches"

All you people that complain about how bad the entry system is crack me up. 15,000 people trying to get into the stadium through 6 entry points 15 minutes before kickoff and you're confounded that you can't just walk in? C'mon man! I enter 45 minutes before kickoff and there's NEVER a delay at any of the gates. Get something to eat and drink, get my 50/50 tickets, settle in at my seat, talk to those around me, it's no hassle at all! I'm constantly amazed at the number of people still filing in when there's 5 minutes gone in the quarter! Try entering 10 minutes earlier than you usually do and see what a difference it makes. It's not the facility's fault you miss the kickoff. It's totally under your control. Stepping down from my soapbox now.....
 
The game experience has deteriorated and is a disappointment. Entrance to the game and scanning tickets was different this year and the girl scanning my tickets was rude due to this change and the fact I didn’t know the proper way to do it. The music was terrible and could not be heard much of the time, the run-out music I could not even tell what it was and not to mention the Griz Vision problems. Monte’s entrance was cool but then he basically disappeared after that, in fact my wife commented in the third quarter where has he been. What happened to the t-shirt cannon and getting the crown going especially the north endzone? Whoever oversees the game day should be replaced. I honestly thought the best game experience last year was during the playoff game. Why pay the highest price for tickets and get what happened on Saturday and I do not want to hear excuses. Game experience has steadily gone downhill. It seems to me the main focus is on the students and not the other 20000 plus attendees. For those that are only there for the game, if this is what you want then only play the national anthem and announce for game play, there is more to the game experience than is what is on the field.

We noticed that too. Definitely not OSHA approved!

I’m kinda shocked nobody is talking about the pregame festivities. Monte came out with a cool entrance to a different song (song people recommended). Team came out to a different song. What did everybody think?

Liked the changes. Couldn’t hear the run out music at all. Only saw the new hype video and welcome to the jungle then they ran out. Seems someone needs to adjust the speakers accordingly as they could be much louder.

Does anyone else read this and feel like this is why we no longer have a home court advantage in basketball? If you don't remember what the Zoo was in there, I am sorry you missed that before they moved the students to one section under the basket, so why not do something similar for football and watch everything wither away.
 
The flattest part of the pregame is the national anthem. How about having the word on the jumbotron with the bouncing ball and encourage the fans to sing it loud enough that it could be heard at that school east of the mountains. We could coordinate with them and a sound meter to see who wins each Saturday.

Watch how dull it is Saturday during the anthem. We can do better.
