Gampel Technical enhancements

[beachhusky]

Look I start this with some understanding that UConn athletics are bleeding $ and not in the greatest financial situation with limited conference TV revenue ... but we can dream anyway right. So since UConn has fixed the marconi (lol) or whatever tiles ... whenever I see that now beautiful white dome I see such a potential for a visual video screen.

I think of being at NBA games and seeing things like this:



guess who else has one:

Florida Basketball - Pregame Court Projection

When the lights go out... #TheSwamp comes alive. #OneNight #OneTeam #Gators

www.youtube.com

This seems to be a company that makes those effects:

Projection Mapping - Broadcast Video Production - Quince Imaging

Quince Imaging, projection mapping company, broadcast video production, augmented reality, & LED video walls for live events and sports.

Any idea how much these things go for and how realistic it would ever be for UConn to put one on a wish list. An incoming recruit seeing his image and maybe some action video up on the dome would sure set us apart in the competitive recruiting world. It sure would have an effect on me if I were an incoming opponent. Being state of the art like this and using students to learn the technology and building degrees off the skills needed to maintain, program and build the tech would also seem to be learning with actual real world implications (and ability to get jobs with the experience.) Would that be a way to attack this idea ... some type of $ into an educational field?

Anyone?

We just need Wifi in the arena and by the urinals so we can get updates from @Chief00 in real time.

The number 1 technical enhancement UConn could make is free and easy to implement:

Get rid of $#&@ing jock jams. Just get rid of it. Get it out. Retire it already.

Coming soon to the Gampel Planetarium...

I honestly don’t understand it.

After hating our outdated jock jams for years, I feel like it’s been long enough that they now make me laugh and I don’t want them to leave. I do want a slight change from the opening clap along song, did we get a lifetime deal on that so we can’t change?

Jock Jams always makes me think of cassette tapes and elementary school.
Even my middle schoolers had me delete it from my playlist for PE class. Sad UConn is still using it.

Why would you get rid jock jams? It’s tradition now.

 

[goskis2018]

Is "Jock Jams" the "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" song? If that's the case then I don't see the hate as I see it as part of game-day tradition, maybe I don't mind it as it's before my time? I am very interested in hearing some suggestions as to what could replace it, though.

We rolled out some new pyrotechnics for the Arizona game last year at XL and the presentation was pretty solid. Obviously there is room for improvement.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They’ve done light shows on the dome for first night. I wonder the feasibility of doing it every game

because it's embarrassing and if i were a recruit i'd go to another school

 

[intlzncster]

We had a heated argument in the stretch limo on the way to Gampel yesterday about keeping or getting rid of jock jams at uconn games. Very divisive issue.

Used em for Florida too. I guess they just crack me out for “marque” matchups

How is it embarrassing? Tons of schools still use it

They brought out the pyro for the Florida game yesterday too. Seems like it’s a big game thing.

Do they? I rarely hear it. Definitely not used much in the pros.

 

[Mots010]

Are they still playing Sandstorm? What a tradition!

Amazing post, one with "i fart in your general direction" for a narrative calling others Neanderthals. Another line in the book of things you just can't make up....This is classic...
