What's the cheapest thing you could fix for gameday experience/atmosphere/etc?

[horshack.sixpack]

Outside of wins - what's the one thing that would make an immediate impact at the lowest cost?

Fans use their phone LED lights instead of MSU buying new lighting?***

Hot female mud wrasslin'

yes but they have to be hot as 17 and not just ClintoninHelen hot

switch at least 5 home games next year to 7pm games.

10¢ beer night worked out pretty good in Cleveland a few years back

Play Word Up after every Bulldog TD and before the ensuing kickoff.
Play Gettin Jiggy Wit It during 2 minute warning timeout.
Play Soulja Boy when the kickoff/kick return units take the field.
ETA I mean blow the damn speakers out each time.

We have absolutely no control over game times.

Honestly the cheapest way is to buy enough decent players to start winning again. You can have a great atmosphere in an absolute dump if you are winning.

Are you people really this clueless? As stated previously I didn’t say anything about shoving lower level season ticket holders into the upper decks.

You’ve done a terrible job explaining yourself

 

[MSUGUY]

Ingress and departure logistics, somehow shorten the amount of time it takes to attend

 

[CoastTrash]

Encourage community…that’s really why we attend and misery loves company.

Got to build a culture where it’s a thing to attend regardless of wins or losses. You do that with cheaper concessions, cheaper tickets, and better experiences- from tailgating in the junction (the university should run this and make it accessible to single game folks)

Paid season ticket holders go between the 20s in the upper deck and everything else gets handed out to clubs/organizations/schools for free, with special recognition and events for those groups. A full stadium enhances the gameday experience and you are also tapping into youth who may not otherwise visit campus, so sets up a long term benefit for future enrollment.

This is the best option. Look at what bringing in some kids for the ladies game did for the atmosphere. Those lil munchkins were loud as hell.

 

[Spotdawg]

Allow in game betting (each play) with immediate rewards like beer, pizza delivered to you or credit towards concessions or tickets to future events

Fresh soft pretzels

A/C in stands (misters)

Waterslides, kids splash zones

Register to win a deadbeat faculty members season tickets

In stadium WiFi

Halftime wiener dog races

$1 hot dogs and $2 beer

And a stripper pole on a platform (with appropriate Memphis debutante onboard) in each section down low...

This is why polls like this can't really move the needle. I'm sure every time the AD sends out a questionnaire, they get responses like this too. There are some people on the extremes (both ends) who demand things that are completely untenable to the other side, therefore making them completely unrealistic. I'm sure to cancel this one out, someone on the other end will send in a response saying "cut out that country redneck crap, no one wants to hear that".

I have no dog in the fight, but I would have to admit - in the middle of a 4th quarter crucial drive, with the crowd buzzing and into the game, I would much rather hear DJ Kool than Billy Strings or Taylor Swift ffs.

Or Metallica but good point.

Let Richard Schwartz do the shell game live on the tron. We can save animation costs and sell more ad time!!!

I miss quarter hot dog night at The Dude. Some people would buy a dozen at a time.
I also miss Bryan hot dogs.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

Just make sure one's expensive and the other is cheap. I am down for either way personally.

 

[peewee.sixpack]

Sadly the quickest fix for the game day experience is firing the inexperienced AD we hired. Leadership matters and currently our school is severely lacking in that arena.

 

[Beretta.sixpack]

not real perfect answer here.....I havent been to a game this year. Why? The financial and emotional investment is not with me for this amount of sucktitude....from a financial standpoint, the cost of tickets, the parking, the concessions and having to park a gazillion miles away only to watch a non competitive team is insane.....its hard to stomach it week after week when we are competitive....i would rather donate that money to NIL than attend the game.

I agree the tailgating experience needs to be not so spread out.....takes the energy out of the fans

The ads in the stadium on the jumbotron are always at the wrong time and very overbearing....
