Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 3282306, member: 2839"] Anyone else get the yearly AD game day experience survey? First of all the survey format was awful. Only one line was visible in the free form response boxes. Be that as it may, I responded to everything with a "Neutral," at best, reaction, with two "Somewhat dissatisfied" answers. I responded to the free form questions as follows. [B][I]UConn: Please provide any additional feedback on what you enjoyed most about the UConn Football Fan Experience so we can continue to build on this area (optional).[/I][/B] I like the new concession options. Parking attendants have gotten better. [B][I]UConn: In an effort to provide the best possible gameday experience, please provide any additional feedback that will continue to help us improve (optional)[/I][/B] I've mentioned this in previous surveys, but the 3rd down "Fire Up" music needs to be changed up. "Welcome to the Jungle" is stale (as is canned music at a college game as a whole), and as the opponent continues to convert 3rd down after third down, it becomes a sort of Pavlov's Dog. It fires up the other team instead of UConn. There are marching band arrangements for these tunes (WttJ, Hells Bells, Crazy Train, and others). Poll the players for tunes they think will fire them up, find marching band arrangements and get the UCMB more involved. Student section attendance and retention is beyond pitiful. The Athletic Department needs to work with student organizations and the student body, not antagonize them (e.g. the letter at the beginning of the season regarding the student parking lot). Surveys should be directed their way. If they don't go, why not? What would make them make the 25 mile trek? If they tailgate, but don’t attend, what will get them into the stadium? If they go to the game for the 2nd quarter, what would get them in earlier? Most important, what would make them stay beyond halftime and through the final gun? [/QUOTE]
