Got A Call From The Athletic Department

[greenbean.sixpack]

Just got a call from the Athletic Department asking about my feedback on DWS. I've been going to games for as long as I can remember (i'm 56) and have season tickets since my youngest was old enough to sit through a game (about 10 years or so), this is the first time I've ever had a member of the AD reach out to me. I don't know if the this is the new AD doing work or not, but if so, bravo!

Did you tell them about the hot dogs or the cups first?

Selmon's specialty is fan engagement, so this almost certainly came from him. Nice first move.

My suggestion was to increase wifi and/or cell service. We're in the scoreboard club, they have a great buffet and we have our own cups/drinks, but i've felt your pain in years past!

Did you fill out that end of year survey? Just wondering if you did maybe some thorn you said in it prompted the call?

Concur, great first move. Plus he put me on the list for baseball season tickets.

Yes sir, we get a survey after every game and I fill it out. I think the main purpose of the call is to get season ticket holders to renew (we were going to do that anyway).

Years ago, when Greg Byrne was assistant AD, one year I filled out some survey they had sent out and wrote in several comments in the comment section about ways I thought they could improve the experience at football games. I figured, well I got that off my chest so that'll be the end of it. About 5 minutes later, our receptionist called me and said there's a Greg Byrne on the phone for you. We had a very good 30-minute conversation about my concerns. I knew right then that guy was special. Hopefully Selman will be as special as Byrne was.

So the firmness of the pretzels didn’t come up?

He might have wanted the Templeton troughs to make a return appearance. **

That'a encouraging, The AD needs to be a salesman as much as anything else.

As per an earlier thread a couple weeks ago maybe I don't answer my phone unless I have the number in contacts. I've had 3 calls in the past month-6 weeks from the athletic dept wanting to ask me some questions, it was a live person not a robocall. I'm pretty sure the first one was before Selmon was named though. I fill out every one of those surveys too for football and baseball when I get them. Wifi is always on my list of gripes

my issue with wifi is as much for engagement of younger fans as anything else. We don't want them not wanting to come to games due to not being able to get online.

I have honestly streamed other games while sitting in the stands watching our game. I’ve never had an issue with service in the stadium. I use Verizon but I’ve heard nightmares from ATT customers.

AT&T here. Its solid anywhere I've ever been EXCEPT campus on gamedays. I don't care to stream a game, we've got satellite for that but damn when I can't even text or call my wife to bring a bottle of BBQ sauce I forgot when she comes to tailgate, its bad. Its been better the last couple years but I'm guessing thats because less people actually on campus. Every year they say they are adding infrastructure but I can't tell much difference. Its also bad for the university when you try to transfer tickets and can't do it.

We have ceasefire and it sucks in the stadium and usually in the junction. Obviously there are likely significantly more ceasefire customers than any other carrier.

You’ll set some people off if they see you on your phone during a game!!!***

I had a similar experience with Byrne. I was impressed with him
