I have heard very few radio announcements this year which should help attendance
No band? I know they are off semester but get them to the game. I bet if we were in the SE avocado bowl the band would be there
Concessions? A line literally out the door
Parking? No signs to help with non-existent parking.

This is our premiere sport? Can somebody give Joel the memo? He seems to think that introducing a 26 year old assistant OC at a pathetic football school should get his priority.

Bev! Please let this abomination of an AD go!

Not sure what you are looking for in a game day experience?

no band or students? it is Christmas break and as far as the students even when school is in session their turnout is lacking. only Akron game seems to draw their interest. The Krew has done better along with the band at getting spirit going.

I agree on concessions but with the layout of MACC that will not change only thing would be more windows or open the stand that is by the annex for bigger games. OU AKR etc

I heard radio ads on the Canton station and I know they put some on a couple of the Akron stations.

There was a robo call from Sendy that went out on Monday asking people to come to game, and there is Facebook and Twitter ads.

As far as the in-game experience. I go to games for the basketball. the other stuff is just noise. The in-game stuff is very similar to the Cavs game I recently attended. silly games, a couple of dance teams appearances , cheerleaders tee shirt tosses
These things are set- up to entertain the kids, especially the younger ones that do attend. Most of the adults could care less.

Parking is an issue and always has been. The current construction is not helping and I would hope once done the signage will be updated, BUT I have been to all the MAC east arenas plus TOL and EMU and it is not much different. if you want to park close you have to pay or have a pass and even then you still have to walk just as far as Kent or farther.

I believe they are trying new things and the hype girl is much better then the guy who was doing it before.

once again not sure what you are looking for????? How about some ideas???????????

The only thing bad about the hype woman is 2 or 3 times a year she lets the hype guy back in the building. He was there at the Northeastern game and a lot of bad memories came back. I think he is 60 years old now.
