Improving the In Stadium Gameday Fan Experience

There have been a lot of great ideas on how to improve the fan's Gameday in stadium experience, but they are interspersed throughout several threads. Let's condense everyone's ideas under one thread and then have someone compile a list of the best ideas and send them on to Tom Holmoe. I nominate someone who is an older distinguished alum with connections to the corporate world (Cougarbib?) or perhaps an important media personality (Spiffcoug?), or maybe someone who is black and white and doesn't sugarcoat a thing (Mizzoucoug?, Cougs_Rule?, Gunk?) to get this list to TH ASAP.

My short list:

1. Sponsorship is a necessary evil these days, but all sponsorship references must be inspirational, motivational, and have a kick#*# feel to it. No more..."and it's another Grandma Sycamore's third down conversion". Really???

2. Frequent updated scores of games across the country.

3. No more fireworks at 1:30 in the afternoon on a 90 degree day. Really???

4. TV monitors in the concourses and at the concession stands with the game being broadcast.

5. Get rid of the orange vested Gestapo manning the portals. Dress them up in appropriate BYU Gameday apparel, teach them some basic social skills, and let them know it is okay to actually enjoy the experience.

Hopefully I'm not too off-topic here. Do they always play Hell's Bells at LES? I was surprised to hear it while watching the Houston game on TV.

30 minutes before kickoff all unsold seats go for $10. A full stadium is a fun stadium.

Wearing white makes a big difference in my opinion.



I second the person who said we should give unsold tickets to charities, businesses, etc. so as to be able to claim a sell-out and have the stadium full!

Close the gates 5 minutes prior to the game to try to get people in their seats on time. I know it is not realistic, but it drives me crazy how late BYU fans show up.

I think this would result in even more empty seats at LES.

Zach Nyborg was on 1280 yesterday afternoon and talked about a number of things to improve the in-stadium experience. he talked about wi-fi/app combo that allows users access to replays, stats, data, etc.



I also like the concept of a white out. We did it well (courtesy of 25K shirts being given away), but it looked good in person and on ESPN.

There is an opportunity here for a sponsor to win some points with the fans. I noticed on the out of town scores they had a sponsor shown in the corner. Someone could buy some time on the ribbons and show stats or scores. Maybe on a ticker or something with the sponsor logo at the ends. Win-win
