Game 1--the overall experience

[Tech77]

How often will this type production be done by Tech-Learfiekd. I agree it was good, and Is what we need to be doing.

Hogdawg--hate to be a naysayer...but I've been on West Side for years...went into game about 5:30 after tailgating....and walked right up and got a program...in fact, a young man motioned to me going in and asked me if I wanted to buy one.....maybe they didn't have many, but they were there..

You've been on east side

If they (Learfield) can make $ off it, probably more in the future- depends on C-USA contracts though. S Alabama game will be same crew. I doubt we'll get road games (UAB/UTEP) by this crew since we aren't home team & the costs to get production crew from Dallas is more expensive.

MS State is CBS Sports Net
Rest of home games are Stadium (unt/fau/usm) or ESPN (UTSA)

It's a great start. I'm just happy our Learfield folks can perform with the right guy in charge. He must be a Tech grad ;-)

This year, Josh Perot put the Nitzer on a new 12-month contract (yes, no more Iowa summers), now TV production.

Let's keep growing in Sports Properties!

Overall, we had a great game day experience. The new signage on the TAC looks amazing. Concession seems to run smooth. We also hit up the McAlister tea kiosk.

My only complaint is the audio on the player intro video or any hype video with our players. Please put a lapel mic or close range mic on them when recording. Doing that will up your video producing game.

OK, thanks, very good reasons - Me, East Side N40 , Top Row, Section NN Aisle (GA, but is my tradition), if no one beats me to it. I haven't attended as often the last few years even though I still retain season tickets. Have been sitting there with my buddies over the years since 1973, other than when I HAD to sit with the fraternity in coat and tie. My buddies become fewer as the years go by - you know, age, distance, and all that unpleasantness.

East side row 57 until the knees or lungs give out.

I know exactly what you are talking about, and you are being far too kind. If I had been able to buy a game program -- which I wasn't able to do because we apparently did not sell them last night-- I would not have been able to actually see it once it got dark. The section I sat in (EE) last night was very dark. It's a flaw. Got to fix it.

In the words of Frank Bartles, "Thank you for your support." As I said in my second post, I'd just like it to be as bright as the rest of the stadium seats. I'm in EE row 46, maybe 10 rows below the pressbox. It's darker there than where you sit.

I got on site about 9:30 a.m. to finish setting up for tailgating. Took longer than normal to shut things down so didn't get into the stadium until 5:30ish. Had two guys in front of me when they sold out of programs with quite a few behind me. And still a lot of people outside the gates. The guys behind the counter said they'd already pulled programs from the east side. If we printed the same number as in the past, there's been a significant increase in demand. Hopefully next week will be better because I'm sure the crowd and demand for programs will be even higher.

My overall experience at the game was great! How can you not be impressed with what we've accomplished in the last few years.

To whomever is responsible for redirecting one of the lights on the north stanchion to the upper west side seating, THANK YOU! It had a big difference. If we can get one light on the south stanchion it would be perfect. But what was done hoped a lot.

Again, thank you!
