Hype and enthusiasm for games could be helped in a couple ways–three thoughts:
1. Game day experience would be cool if everyone all tailgated in a common location–bring everyone together! For example, PSU is a great place to tailgate because everyone is nearby–students aren’t set up in one end zone lot, alums in another, boosters in the far corner, and parents and ex-players in two other places.
In general, parties aren’t fun if everybody segregates into different corners. Would it be possible to use the lax/soccer fields in front of main stadium gate to create a great focal point of tailgate parties? Weather permitting of course, but then everyone can hang together. Maybe MoCo student parties on the edges (play music as loud as you want!), with players’ and parents’ near the middle? Last year, we had a great time in Lehigh parking lot at LeLaf game–parents, alums, students, great DJ, good food, perfect weather all in one place!
I know we can’t control the weather, but most days, we could all have a great time in front of Goodman’s main gate!
B. Early in the season, could the kickoffs be moved to 1:30? Gives students a chance to sleep in, or study a bit, before grabbing a bus to Goodman!
3. Lights. Expensive solution, but maybe that could help those who could travel for 3:30 kickoffs, or even a 7PM game! Would be a great day on campus leading up to the late kickoff!
Just some ideas…
