Survey on stadium

[phillybillyreprise]

I received a survey on the stadium from the athletic department. It was focused on traffic, concessions, rest rooms, gates and seating. I was honest. At the end there was a comment section. I requested nicely that the Paterno statue and players' posters be returned to the stadium.

Was there ever an explanation for taking the posters down?

Was there ever an explanation for taking the posters down?

Yeah. For 'cleaning'.

Did the survey ask anything about capacity?

Not directly.

Received the same survey. Was really pressed to fit all my comments into the 500 character limit that they had. Told them to call me for my input. Also told them to quit playing games and put that dirt ugly statue of Joe back where it rightfully belongs. Touched on the carnival like atmosphere that they are turning Beaver stadium into, the atrocious manner in which the parking lots are filled and emptied, restrooms, concessions, cheesy untimely music, etc.

We just answered the survey. Constructively commented on traffic flow and parking issues (won't bore you with the details). Used all available comment space in the open-end to include "bring back the statue, the Lettermen wall, and to honor Joe"!
Typical - poorly constructed - leading the witness survey...don't tell us what we don't want to hear survey. What a joke this Administration is....truly an embarassment.

I could do with less of the stadium "music" too. I wish they would allow the college game to be a college experience. They seem to be trying to make it an NFL type experience. I don't mind a little of their music, but we don't need it after EVERY play.

I thought they did a pretty good job of "lessening" the canned music as the season wore on. JMO.

Well the Last game was the best combination. Less is more. It had just enough, now if they get rid of Neil Diamond it would be what the college game day should be. Would be nice to win the game though

Heard the rumor why it was different is 'Music Boy' went home for thanksgiving

Good way to distribute. Many Season ticketholders, like me, use Verizon email which has decided that many PSU athletic emails are SPAM.

For those of you who received survey, did anyone comment on the need for some escalators to move people.
Season ticket holder from 1954 gave up seats for two reasons: STEP a huge breach of loyalty on the part of the university and increased difficulty with the ramps.
Worst stadium for moving people.

Escalators would be great. Right now there is one at the south end and the last flight can only be used by people sitting in the club seats. Modern stadiums have escalators so if Barbour and friends really want to improve Beaver Stadium then escalators are a must. If you're an older fan who is starting to have mobility issues all that walking can beat you down. And who generally are the fans with more disposable income?? Yep, the older crowd. Barbour would be wise to ensure Beaver Stadium is convenient for them otherwise they'll spend they money elsewhere.

Thanks for the endorsement. You know that the one escalator only runs up.It is turned off at the end of the game.
