The longer people stay in the tailgate area the more A&T has to pay the security staff and the "campus cops". They have to be out there until everybody is gone. Anyway, this is what I was told! Don't campus police have to patrol campus regardless? That's a lame excuse. Again, first the fan zone and now this. How about all the fans just show up 2 hours before the game and leave right after. I don't know much about this Hilton guy but so far he is not doing well in his tenure as AD. I can just hope it gets better I'm sure that on game days everybody on campus security is working vs a normal day where you would have people taking time off, add the extra time in the tailgate area and it adds up. Income - expenses = profit Income- people not paying to tailgate / extra security cost = greater profit

Dooms - I only answered the topic presented - "Suggestions for Earl Hilton". This was a legitimate suggestion and complaint.
Bigboy - There has not been a problem before of paying security for our games and tailgates. Look the tailgaters are not going to leave one hour after the game and that is a fact. They did not leave after the first game of the season against VUL. It is a stupid rule to suppress us.

Saabman - you are correct about Coach Irvin being able to get top recruits because he coached in an era where segregation was the rule of thumb. However, that passed in the early 70's and continued on until today. Coach Corbett coached in an era where he could not get top tier players because of intergration. They were going to White Universities. However, he was astute enough to get very good players and mold them into winners. His budget was low and he did not have 5 and 6 assistant coaches on the bench. Only one as did Coach Irvin. Quit making excuses for our present basketball coach. He has had ample time at "T" and he always a .500 winner. It is time for a change if this happens this year. He is a good man and I respect that. However, he has to win it all this year to stay in my opinion. Also, other HBCU schools don't keep coaches 8 or 9 years if they don't produce.

Out of the past 10 posts, how many are an actual suggestion for the AD? Maybe two or three.
The reason I'm continually on here trying to keep y'all on topic is simple. If you were the AD, would you read through three pages of b.s. that is a gripe session just to find the eight posts that are good suggestions? I know I wouldn't. He's got enough to do without reading the rantings of people that just want to b*tch about everything or talk about how good we were back in the day. The inability to stay on topic on this one is not doing us any good. Neither is harping on the same topic in five different posts. We get it.
At this point my repeated explanations are probably pointless because by page 2 of this thread I'm sure Mr. Hilton found something more constructive to do with his time. Good job gentlemen.

I agree, he wont read this. My suggestion is to take the valid suggestions out and place them in a "pinned" thread that is locked by thrilla to update when he sees a idea from this thread that makes sence. Maybe give the poster his credit at the end or something.
That way you have a bullet pointed(1 post) thread for Hilton to read. That's if he actually reads the board.

Flat screens of the game in the restrooms and the Consession. stands. Hang them on a hook and remove them after the game. Or at the very least Audio in the restrooms. That is an excellent Idea. I would also like to see the bathrooms in Aggie Stadium modernized just a little bit.

like the republicans would say, its not a good idea if its not paid for. we need ideas that are cost neutral or brings in revenue. i know a lot of nice amenities added to aggie stadium would be great. but we're hurting financially and we need ideas that would not be a major cost to a&t...

Can anyone honestly tell me what they missed by taking a leak in Aggie Stadium?
