Scoreboar

Didn't see a lot of discussion on the scoreboard club post game.

I'm glad now I took the plunge. I was skeptical at first in moving to the end zone, but it turned out great. You can see the play develop and catch replay from side on the south jumbotron.

The club looks great, good food selection which is kept stocked, lots of tv's, lots of seating, and the deck running the length of the north zone was a great idea. I was going to give it a try this season but I think I'm already sold going forward.

Just one question, can it be accessed from coming across the 100 or 200 level on the west side or at all from the east? The map looks like it shows some kind of access but it's not clear. That way you could just enter the gate there from the tailgate and go across.

There is caterer/security access from the east side club for sure. I'm not positive, but I don't think there is on the west side. They are assessing congestion in the Endzone Club to determine whether or not they want to allow access to the terrace to those sideline club members...

Some if my buds moved there and they

Loved it. Only complaint was a need for cameras in lockers to see who is drinking all his liquor*.

I enjoyed myself other than the single feed on all the TVs.

The answer is yes on the west side. I don't know about the east. You walk from the existing ramp onto a walkway that goes behind the brick enclosing the emergency exit stairway. They have a couple of security guys there checking credentials.

ETA: There wasn't Scoreboard Club personnel on the ramp it was security and they don't give out the wristbands that you need along with your ticket to access the area. They may or may not let you by with just the Scoreboard Club ticket I don't know. I didn't go over there until I had my wristband. Saturday night they were pretty lax and were letting people without credentials walk out onto the deck from the ramp just to check it out for a couple of minutes and come back. They need to put up a sign on that brick enclosure stating that the deck is part of the premium seating. Most of the people that security was stopping weren't trying to slip into club level, they just had no idea that was a premium area.

I really enjoy it. It was crowded just prior to kickoff but any other Saturday without rain was suspect most people would be out on the terrace eating and watching pregame.

The view is great can really see the plays developing. Only bad times are when they are near the south end zone but the screen helps with that.

Food was good and staff worked hard to keep it all stocked. I had read that the food was only going to out until end of half time but we were able to fix a plate of nachos at the end of the game.

Did notice quite a few people with our crickets or wristbands. End of fourth quarter watched 4 college age guys get off elevator no braclets just stroll on in.

ill complain. as a plebeian, i look at the scoreboard terrace and it would be a great place for standing room only seating. i dont know if it was this game only, but that wasnt nearly full during the game. that is a really cool area that is being highly underused. maybe it fills up next few games, but if not, scott needs to find a way to let people have access while still respecting the premium aspect of the club level. that is just a wasted area. now if the scoreboard club wants to come down all the time and fill it up, obviously, they should have priority, but i dont see it filling up anytime soon when people have a chairback to call their own. its like two great seats and one will have to be wasted. SRO (maybe a premium SRO option with no access to the club) would be an option.

Locate a "hostess"

next game. They'll turn it to whatever is available. #clublevelnewb

Maybe if there is no rain or drizzle falling from the sky, folks will come out

from underneath the scoreboard club out on to the terraces. Give us blue skies and cooler temps they will fill up.

I agree, it looks extremely underutilized with people just standing there,

it actually looks like a service area instead of a premium area to me. I'm thinking maybe they add seats somehow there in the master plans next expansion, whenever that may be to complete the bowl in effect because thats the only part that looks weird to me now. Also, weren't there ribbon boards in the endzone in some of the renderings, is that something that didn't get put up in time?

As I stated in a post down the board, I wouldn't mind making part of it SRO. But I think it should be only for MSU fans and only those that have to buy SRO specific tickets because of a sellout. In other words, if there is no need for SRO, then we don't sell tickets to that area. I don't know how we would do it but it would need to be exclusively for MSU fans. Otherwise, it'll be full of visiting fans (especially sidewalk Bama fans from Mississippi who are more annoying than real Bama fans) and that's one reason I stepped up and bought into the club this year.
