Btw, as expected the light show was a total FAIL!

100s were pretty clueless. Some of people’s phones were not connected or working. The app was hung up in “waiting “.

need like 80%+ participation for this kinda thing. Hey, the AD and fans learned. Next time they’ll improve. And cont now to improve until people get it

Maybe they need to let people in 100’s borrow cell phones?

Tbh, I had no idea what to expect when they said to download an app. By the time I saw the point of it, it was just like "ahhh, whatever, it's too late." Lol. Next time, I'll try it out.

The bar code on the handout did not scan correctly (error code) on either an IPhone or an Android. So the fail was on whoever set up the app. I had to go to The Athletics web site to download the app, which I assume most people didn’t do.

The app wasn’t hung up on waiting ...it was telling you that it’s waiting for the time to begin the show. Then it went to a 20 second countdown to begin the show. Admittedly, the waiting message did confuse me at first.

my wife and I set up our phones in section 200.... when it came time to activate, both her phone and mine had lost our seat location that we plugged in a few minutes before..... I would guess that if everyone had their phones linked in, and with proper seat location, it might have done something more
interesting

App and show worked fine but the crowd participation was a big fail.

no. For me it worked. For my wife next to me it didn’t while she had the app open and ready.

Yes to be clear...ill take the overall results from today forever...

And I really REALLY loved that they let the band play and the crowd engage and minimized the piped in stuff. College electric fun.

I had the app loaded on two phones and neither worked. I had the "waiting" message on one for a long time and the countdown on the other, which at zero, then also turned into the waiting message.

Marketing said there was about 40% participation. The upper level was definitely better than the 100s. I thought it looked pretty cool.
Please have them post the video for us. As I was in the last row of 200 perhaps looking down at 100 made it look so weak. Maybe looking up made it look good.

I sit in the front row of the 300 level. Many, many people had the app open and it wasn't working, including for me. It was just stuck on "Waiting"

Waiting was the correct mode, but why it didn't engage who knows. I ALWAYS have issues with the internet at the RAC in spite of all those routers in the rafters.

The app was easily downloaded and worked just fine. It's not rocket science and simply not a big deal. Great game, towel handouts were nice and coach Camp was hanging out greating people upon entry.

Love to hear that about Camp.

Wish our football coaches could continue doing this for as many games as they can.

Need to keep the positive energy and hype going - ALL IN!!

I thought it looked cool from our seats in the 100s regardless of participation %
My guess is the more they do it for each game, the easier it will be for our fans to figure out.

I didn’t participate because I never bring a phone to any ballgame.I guess I might have done if Rutgers had people assisting folks with their phones. That would have required a lot of staff, though. I thought it looked cool.

Yup. I was expecting like three people in each section to actually do it. But it actually looked decent!

I loaded it on my verizon phone and it kept saying "waiting" before the game and then made the countdown from 1 minute to zero and then did nothing. Not sure why it never went off. NO big deal.

Best of Luck,

Need view from other side showing red cushion seats ...my view.

Some if it was solid...maybe the programming was just off. Because at times there were lots of participation and others zilch.

Not clear from the directions was that when the countdown reached zero, you needed to turn your flashlight on in order to participate.
