Game experience complaints - how about trying this:

[vtshocker]

You must have already jaded yourself. The WSU administration thanks you for accepting a less than adequate level of production at a WSU basketball game. No one is asking for a world class, state of the art production, but just something adequate. Your standards for college basketball are quite low.

Newman would love you.

Newman does love me, thank you for noticing that.
Negative Nancy University loves you too!

I'm with TW, lets V-Tech em

I agree totally with proshox. I run a marketing co. and we know the value of game sponsored events such as the Ashley "free throw" and such. But when we are in the last five minutes of the game and it's a small point spread you turn it over to the cheerleaders and make them actually cheer or let the band be more involved which much of that has been taken away form them already so we can hear the latest hip-hop c__p! It totally sucks the life out of the game and atmosphere!

When is the most recent time during a timeout the cheerleaders have tried to involve the crowd in anything resembling a cheer?

[pinstripers]

Wow.............long time.

I signed the petition just because I feel like it has all resulted in the "lack of crowd noise" that people have also been complaining about. Just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Also, I feel like you should be at least 18 years of age or older to sign up for this site, because there appears to be children on here.

Hey tough admin,

Who were you directing the last sentence of your original post towards?

I'm not stupid. Go ahead and play the "it was a generalization card." I don't think you'd call anyone else childish except for me.

Me. I've been childish and typed without thinking.

Not sure what I was smoking when I was 14 but I missed the re-branding to Washington State Fieldhouse.

Also Charles Koch did not contribute $25 milllion. I think his contribution was $8 million which on a relative basis was much less painful to him then my contribution of .01% of the total was to me.

It was $6 million. He is worth $25 Billion. His Brother David has given at least $100 million to M.I.T.

Maybe only a "nice" review. While the reviewer gives the roundhouse a lot of kudos, his ratings aren't stellar. All of his ratings for the arena are between 2 and 4. The rating system is 0 to 5, so 2 to 4 ratings with an overall rating of 3.3 is really just slightly above average.

He uses the term "mid-major" a lot. So I think he was expecting a UMKC type of atmosphere and found something more like a high major.

Some of his comments were pretty good though like comparing the Koch to an ACC type atmosphere in its heydey. And saying our student section was one of the best.

Trop, perhaps you should look around the site at other venues before posting this as a nice review.

These are the first 5 I thought of (keep in mind, Koch got an overall score of 3.3):

Phog Allen - 4.6
Bramlage - 4.1
CenturyLink (CU) - 4.4
McLeod (UNI) - 4.1
JQH Arena (MSU) - 4.0

It was more his comments than his ratings. He said some pretty stellar things about the Koch but then he gave the Koch pretty average ratings.

If these ratings really do reflect how the Koch experience compares to places like JQH and McLeod then we are having even a bigger atmosphere problem than we all thought.

Fev, you know I love you.

Step back for just a moment.
