We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Stadium experience Director
Sounds like a good gig. Wonder if there's an Assistant Stadium Experience Director? I'd make the first beer free each game for the MMB imbibers since they can't enjoy the game without a cold one. Attendance would go through the roof.

Re: Stadium experience Director
I’m not the only one who sits on what would be the down-only side of the tunnels in your scenario. I agree the steps are too narrow there but I don’t think your suggestion is the answer.goapps93 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 2:04 pmSo I would have to come up and around the entry tunnel and back down to get to my seats.Appstate88 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 2:01 pmWould like to see KBS west side concrete pressure washed.

Re: Stadium experience Director
I go into the woods for 4 days and relish the lack of connectivity. However, at a game I want to keep up with scores (we’re not very good at doing that), check rosters-maybe research the opposing team. I can assure you that I am into every play, never leave a game early no matter the weather or the score, etc. Wi-Fi enhances my experience.Mjohn1988 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 5:36 amI understand the reality of things, folks simply must be on a device these days. I also understand it offers some cool things. But I must say that way too many of us get caught up in what’s on the device and miss experience thats actually going on around us. I’ve been to a bunch of really awesome events over the last couple of years and I’ve had to make a conscious effort to put my device away and enjoy the moment. I also know that others around me using devices have been a distraction for me being able to enjoy the actual event I’m at. Just my two cents, moderate the use of your device, everyone including you will have a better game day experience. I’m not preaching directly at you. Just a general statement.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 10:39 pmI love live football and I love good wi-fi. I want to check other scores, take a look at in game stats, keep an eye on the Cabin, etc. while I'm at the game. I also might watch a replay or two during the TV timeouts. And, I may want to make a post or two on social media. if we truly want to be "the best 30,000 seat venue in America" ... connectivity is a part of that.
Beyond that, i thought the in-stadium experience improved in many positive ways last season. The staff did their homework and was ready for the big crowd for the Carolina game and that carried throughout the rest of the year.
I don’t drink beer at the game (I may enjoy a few before hand), but I’m not going to tell to anyone that they can go 3.5 hours without a drink (as long as the maintain control of themselves)
We each have different ideas of what enhances the GameDay experience. Better Wi-Fi would be nice.

Re: Stadium experience Director
Here’s another one for you to consider 93… One way traffic flow. We walk up the stairs only, rappel off the top, commandos style, to get to restrooms & concessions. I think treating the tunnel like a traffic circle is the easy answer, you can choose the direction.goapps93 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:19 pmI’m not the only one who sits on what would be the down-only side of the tunnels in your scenario.

Re: Stadium experience Director
How about the top of the concessions becomes a floor and another level is built with ramps to bathrooms and concessions on the top level. Should be pretty easy to do and relatively cheap. I would buy more if it was easier to get.

Re: Stadium experience Director
See the previous reply about the stairways. You can rappel off the top of the East Grandstands and we'll hook up a winch to pull you and your bounty back up to the top. (this is of course, right after we get the Chairlift installed to transport tailgaters to and from the old Broyhill lots/new Innovation District)spacemonkey wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 10:00 pmHow about the top of the concessions becomes a floor and another level is built with ramps to bathrooms and concessions on the top level.

At the risk of taking us off topic from this off topic topic, have there been any developments in the planning, funding, or design of the east side tower, NE and NW corner connecting concourses et al?

Yeah, it would never work. That job would be too demanding. He wouldn’t have time to post his countless pointless, attention seeking posts…and then the even more numerous and equally nauseating follow up posts.

Re: Stadium experience Director
Pressure wash team on west side about 2 weeks ago, although I think they were pressure washing the more so the seating. Bathrooms and entry tunnels painted.Appstate88 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 2:01 pmWould like to see KBS west side concrete pressure washed. Paint front of steps Gold.

Re: Stadium experience Director
One thing that seems to be over looked here is the second part of his Title "Revenue Generation".
Be prepared for more of the experience being monetized and prices to increase as he ramps up both parts of his job.
As for BBQ, Woodlands is no more so don't get your hopes up.

I would hope that "Revenue Generation" means he schmoozes people in the premium seats more than nickel and dime-ing us commoners, who have already seen our ticket prices and parking minimums increase multiple times over the last decade and who are waiting 30-deep in a squeezed line to get a Pepsi or Booneshine beer.

Re: Stadium experience Director
Do you know if there is any work being done n the stadium to provide commercial power points as you enter and around the South Endzone? I mentioned it to DG on one of those "Talk to the AD" shows with Adam Witten. The idea was to provide commercial power at designated locations around the stadium for the food trucks/trailers to plug in instead of running those loud ass portable generators?Tru2ASU wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2023 8:13 amPressure wash team on west side about 2 weeks ago, although I think they were pressure washing the more so the seating.

Re: Stadium experience Director
I know how to Google, I do so on my i-Phone. Just choose not to. Google does no good on local things. Try googling mayonnaise on french fries and see what you get. See if it tells you who on this message board prefers mayonnaise as opposed to ketchup or Ranch Dressing. That topic went on for about a week and several pages.
See if it tells which coach should be fired and/or who should be hired. See if it tells which calls the referees missed. See if it tells which coach made the wrong play call. See if it tells what kind of injury a player suffered and whether it is career ending .See if tells why a kicker missed an extra point. See if it tells whether a ramp and second level should be added to the concession stand. See if it tells how to shorten the beer line. See if tells whether we should have ice and cups. See if it tells why we don't have ice tea with our Woodlands BBQ. See if it tells why Armanti wasn't given a fair chance with the Panty thers. See if it is OK to cheer you suck ass.
Those are the kind of topics most prevalent on here.
Attention seekers are the ones who like to show their arses dissing me and twisting my posts. But they have to get their jollies somehow. Ciao
