Hmmm, we are back on the Game Zone again. But that is what a forum is - differing opinions. I, too, was highly against the Game Zone initiative. Yes, I thought it created a 'have' & 'have not' scenario (imprisonment is a harsher term but merited). Yes, I thought purchasing a game ticket just to be adjacent to the stadium was Black on Black crime. Now, I am of the opinion that the Game Zone is an excellent initiative. When the 'community' goes to the Greensboro Coliseum, they have to pay to park. When the 'community' attends a basketball game at Corbett, they have to sometimes pay to park & buy a ticket. With the Game Zone initiative now in place, the 'community' can STILL come onto A&T's campus, park their vehicle along Laurel St. or any other location on campus, pull out the tents and grills & tailgate. But, to experience up close (Laurel & Sullivan Streets) our B&G Marching Machine, Golden Delights, Cold Steel drum line, world class tailgating & the football game (regardless of won-loss record), that should not be free. Requiring a game ticket for that experience is a bargain. Again, you can still tailgate for free on campus if you prefer. This past homecoming, Laurel St. lot was so full of tents, grills, people & plastic cups that you could not see the asphalt! What a great community partner A&T is after all! If we took the same energy bashing the brilliant Game Zone initiative and used it instead to ask someone to donate to the AAF.................I'll end here. Welcome to the board! You are hitting the nail-on-the-head with your posts! ;D

If the football team wins, A&T fans will show up. If the football team wins and we have a competent marketing approach, A&T fans and others will show up. But is alls starts with the football team winning. Let's focus our energy on helping the football team win and spreading the word about it and stop whinning about the darn Fan Zone. You guys really hate change. I bet some of you are still upset we left the CIAA. Here's the question of the day, did the Fan Zone demish your A&T game day experience last year? It had no impact on mine! I had a ball but for over 30 years I've always had season tickets and only tailgate at Homecoming. In a few more years, after Broadway has a winning team we will all have a big laugh about how much time and energy was wasted on that discussing that darn Fan Zone. I felt like it moves the fan atmosphere from the stadium to Laurel street. I'm honestly over it. I just wanna see how much we made or lost with the implementation of this

I guess enough to pay for 27 more scholarships. Let me go on record and say this , the fan zone isn't paying for the 27 additional scholarships.

Lol, just know it ain't from the Fan Zone. Think for a second , Broadway and his staff are getting paid over 300K more than Lee and his staff. Plus now u have an additional 27 schlorship to fund.
Now ask yourself, did the Fan Zone generate that much money

Maybe A&T has found someone that knows how to manage money ? We have always had a history of mismanagement of funds but now we may have it right.

Hey, you guys are amazing. All last fall you were whinning about the lack of schloarships and how tough it was going to be to get our academic grades up enough to get more schlorships. Most of us thought it would be years before we could dig our way out of that hole. Now the athletic department has done a fantastic job getting the NCAA off our backs, getting 27 more scholarships and the best recruiting class in years and you guys are whinning about how they are paying for all of this stuff. Hey, it's "Christmas" and you just got a brand new bike...get on it and ride it and stop asking how your dad paid for it. Santa brought it...enough said.
And let that "Fan Zone" stuff go too. Can we just accept the fact that A&T now charges everyone to participate in the A&T Football experience and move on?
I think the athletic department and old Earl did a fantastic job! Now let's go to Myrtle Beach and kick some butts!

Now let's go to Myrtle Beach and kick some butts! Broadway has done a great job. The department isn't doing anything. If they were, that young lady wouldn't have had to get off the basketball team for school issues. There is a difference between a coach and a department. Lee's 2010 class was ranked top 5 in all of FCS..... And we how that turned out. Broadway is a lot better than Lee, but lets wait till the guys suit up before we praise this class. You as a booster should always be interested who or what is paying for things.... Your an investor in Aggie Athletics.
