UConn Basketball Gameday Experience Survey

[John]

The cannon doesn't even make it to the upper section of either venue.

The single barrel and gattling gun cannons they used to use did.

Get the baseball and softball teams to throw t-shirts. They did it best.

 

[Deepster]

Honest question.

Does any adult here really care about a free t shirt?

 

[Bonamassa]

Honest question.

No but the survey was about improving the game day experience. Lots of kids get excited about getting a tee shirt. Kids are the future fans. If you're going to do it, do it right.

 

[BIIIG]

Do I care about getting a t shirt? Not really….do I want to catch a shirt flying in the sky? ABSOLUTELY

 

[uconnric]

Yea I mentioned concession lines but added in at the end that all I truly care about is having the best atmosphere possible

The atmosphere at Gampel needs a substantial upgrade. Some of the bleacher seats need to be replaced by chairbacks. Unfortunately that reduces the amount of seats. Not sure what can be done with the concessions, they'd need to extend the mezzanines. UConn initially wanted a bigger building.

They’re kinda ugly anyway

How so?

Got my pet peeve about the concessions staff at Gampel not letting you keep bottle caps out there

We always keep caps in our pockets. Tired of knocking drinks over and standing in a puddle.

XL:
2. Get a tee shirt cannon. Throwing the tee shirts and the slingshot is a joke. Very lame.

3. Check the decibel level on the music and set so as not to cause damage to hearing. Not every game but 2 or 3 games this year the volume level was criminally loud and definitely caused hearing damage.

Was at the Seton Hall game. I think some people will always have something negative to say.

I got one of these at the Civic Center when I was a student. It was a red Citgo shirt that said UConn or CT or whatever on the front, but we were playing St. John's. Why would they ever be anything but our colors, and matching the opponents'?... I hope that level of ridiculousness isn't still happening.

When it contains a few autographs I certainly do - this is actually a SNET tshirt

Hey, I'd keep that shirt too! But would it kill our sponsors to use our color palette?! (I think you were answering the post before mine, about adults wanting the shirts, which I was responding to. I have no problem with the shirts!)

They sell red tshirts in the Co-op.

 

[RC111]

They sell red tshirts in the Co-op.

They also sell tie dye. But I would expect that if we're playing Ben and Jerry's U. our sponsors could pick a different color scheme for that day. But that's just me. I'm still confused and thinking the "I certainly do" was for deepsters's comment? Cause I didn't ask a question in my reply to deepster

I totally get kids being amped up for any tshirt of any color. I’m all for it. I would say, on any given game? The percent of kids and adults who stand and act like maniacs for a cheap shirt with some companies logo on it is 33% kids and 66% adults.

I used to try and get one - always had lots of kids in my family and kids of friends who wanted them. I wore that one for autographs because I got it in a game where those guys played.

 

[Ha Who]

I just said stop the constant noise during timeouts

 

[Rondogg]

I am not much of an amenities person. My only complaint about Gampel won't be fixed by a survey. It's the lack of leg room in the seating. I don't ask for much, but I prefer to be comfortable watching a gam

Blow it up, rebuild.

I added the unnecessary over charging for parking at Gampel. Why is it 10 in Hartford and 15 there? It's not like thr lots at Gampel are closer to the building compared to Hartford.

Parking under the XL Center has been $15 for several years at least.
