I'm talking to some people - very informally at this point - about possible improvements to Legion Field for next season, both in terms of upkeep/ maintenance/ cosmetics and gameday operations. I'd like for this thread to serve as a collection of Blazer fan concerns about the gameday experience this year - things that were done well and things that need to be done better for next year. No detail is too silly or too small, and no issue is too obvious or glaring for this discussion.

I'm planning on taking whatever becomes of this thread into some meetings, and hopefully we'll be able to have a better experience for next year. We may even be able to take care of some things in time for recruiting visits over the offseason, so be thinking about that as well. Especially if there are any people out there that have connections to players or families of players or staff. What are some things that could be done to make a better impression on visiting recruits?

Obviously I'm pretty naive here and this whole thing isn't even off the ground yet, so anyone's input would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. The only reason I'm pursuing this seriously is because people have been returning my phone calls and seem to be taking me seriously, at least for now.

One thing I've proposed to B'ham Parks and Rec is a volunteer effort wherein Blazer fans help the Legion Field staff get the stadium ready for our games. I told them I would love to donate a ton of my time to helping them out, and that it's possible there are others in the fan base that feel the same way. Is anybody with me? I'll give you guys more details as this thing gets fleshed out.
