New Game Day Experiences

[iSac]

For anyone that was out at the game last weekend, what are some of the new things in the stadium or that are part of the game day experience?

In Kadeezy's questions with Sperbeck a few weeks ago, coach eluded to some things with "I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the upgrades to Hornet stadium for the 2011 season." http://hornets.bigskyfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1344.

- Is the player walk new? (seen near the start of the recap video below)
- Was the video screen used? I assume that is a temporary thing for the Mtn Lions.
- Else?

The video recap of Montana win is cool. http://youtu.be/c4WWuHECAS4

Bee even game some kudos to the game day experience too.

The video screen showed the replays last year when it was brought in by the Mountain Lions. They have produced videos in the offseason, especially the intro video.

I don't remember seeing replays on the video screen last year, only live shots. And it looked bigger for some reason. Regardless, there were lots of new graphics, replays, half time highlights, very cool.

There were new speakers on the track pointed towards the crowd so you could hear music and Scott Moake much more clearly...

The signage was FANTASTIC. It was everywhere. The empty seats on the visiting side were even covered. It made the stands looks much nicer.

The biggest change was that they opened up the porta potties from the UFL games. No more 15 minute waits to pee.

The vendors ran out of food, but I guess that's a good sign.
