Where’s the WiFi in the stadium and on campus? I’d pay to hop on a WiFi network when on campus.

I think our game atmosphere is boring 🤷🏾♂️. We really don’t cheer, just sit there. We need to learn from Alcorn and our SWAC family, I’m not going to pay $30 for a dry atmosphere. Agreed. The game day, in stadium experience is dull. Which is crazy because the culture and reputation of A&T's basketball game day experience has always been raucous and exciting. But it must be something about those metal bleachers that saps the life out of the reserved section of Aggie Stadium. And no.....cowbells don't really help. The Alcorn fans were LIT. You'd never see that in Aggie Stadium. |

I’ve also noticed swac schools have signs and those Pom pom things..seems like they take game day a little more seriously..their bands also seem to play a big part. I live in Greensboro and only went to two home games...easier to just watch it online. Don’t get me started on the parking..why don’t we have another parking deck?

I'd love to see a breakdown of the numbers of expected revenue at various price points.
I figure if you get enough people in the stadium then you automatically have a more exciting atmosphere (unless we're getting monkey-stomped). The type of individual that can pay $30 a pop or whatever for seats is not the type that's going to run around with an A&T blanket after every touchdown yelling Aggie Pride and hyping up the crowd (inside jokey joke).
If we dropped the price to say a ridiculous $5 per ticket for everybody wearing gold and advertised the hell out of the new price, the beer garden, and some kiddie activities at the stadium (along with the gold t-shirt stall outside the stadium telling gold Aggie t-shirts at a marked up price) I wonder what the revenues would look like. I know the goodwill would be immeasurable, and if we advertised it all over the triad, in the Charlotte market, in the Triangle, down east, and out west, who knows?

We could always get sponsors to pay for ticket discounts. |

Yeah, like BB&T. That would make dollars and sense.

I like the idea of offering a limited number of tickets at a discounted price point.
Maybe like a block of 5,000 seats on the visitor's side for $10.
Once those are gone, then its back to the regular general admission price.

2:47 mark
How do we get this atmosphere? Before someone says ticket prices...general admission was $30 for the SWAC championship, $40 - $60 for reserve seats. GHOE isn’t even this LIT.
We would be packed out if our atmosphere was like that.

The goal is to get fannies in the stadium. 5-10 dollar tickets are fine with me. To me, kids under 13 should get in free...

The "lit" games usually mean that they are competitive and both teams fans are trying to encourage their players. I like it calm and cool. Can you say 45-0!!!

I always say we are the wine and cheese crowd of the MEAC. There is a reason why both of our losses are at home. It's not really a home-field advantage our game atmosphere is abysmal.
Our cheers are too complicated and we don't have any traditional cheers other than Aggie Pride that the crowd can get involved in. So we do the wave circa 1976..
We have the best band in the land. Put the band in the end zone so everyone can hear them. And the band now has a first down song we need a 3rd down stop song.
I say put a little money to the "Aggie Live Wires" so they can have more people in it. An organized 100-150 student section will do wonders. They can get an incentive to be able to go to away games that the band attends to beef up participation.. this will also be great for branding.
And of course get rid of the game zone. A&T football has become an elite club with a big huge wall around it. And it shows. The crowd we have now does not have the capacity to be lit.

We definitely need to put the cameras on the visitors side. A couple of good camera stands filming the home crowd as opposed to the empty sections of the stadium will theoretically have people feeling like they should be there and they're missing out.
