TDECU Experience

Only thing louder than the score board was that confounded oil field horn . . . . .

Students at BYU are probably busy enjoying Wesson Oil parties instead of enjoying tail gate parties . . . . .

My TDECU experience was great The renovations are going to add a lot of atmosphere in the stadium. I miss the pregame pavilions. Anyone know of any plans to get alumni groups together with any sort of pavilions pregame or is that done. It seemed Cullen was blocked off and well attended by the students but what is long term goal for pregame? We directed some recruits family to the practice facility pregame, we were at the Alumni pregame in alumni facility, didn’t know when construction is all said and done what the plan was. Space City stadium will be nice, it needs to be used by HS football and camps, XFL, concerts and overflow for big basketball games.

For the love of god, can we get straws long enough for the souvenir cups?

How about not charging $10 for a souvenir drink? The price for a soda is almost same as bear at the stadium

Wait, one of the vendors is selling bear? :face_with_monocle:

Bear is actually pretty good. Just have to watch out for the trichinosis.

I was at Texas Tech this weekend and this is exactly what they did. It was a great atmosphere. They also have their band practice for family and friends before each game, and then they do a short pre-game show in the stadium before the game starts. It was a good experience. FYI their speakers were super loud too, but they did some cool things with the lighting to keep the crowd engaged.

You can buy a bear for $10

You can get creative with night games, everyone has a phone, so turning lights out with phones is a neat atmosphere. Drone shots around the stadium can build excitement. Tech’s endzone facility just opened, haven’t been there yet but it looks nice.

Their video boards are puny.

I like having red lights illuminate the stadium and the crowd. Really changes the atmosphere to production that includes the stadium itself and the fans.

U never answered my question about the Pan Am logo, did u work for them? My mother worked ticket counter for them a long time back in the day

Yep Tech is killing us in everything except basketball, there game day atmosphere, they fill the stadium, marketing, NIL etc, it’s really a shame some small school in Lubbock Texas is embarrassing us

IMO, the experience at TDECU stadium often times feels like high schoolish. I look around at other programs and a lot of them have during the game gimmicks, like a song they play that everyone sings to. I know we have Whomp Whomp, but so do high schools now :frowning: I think about the basketball team and they play “tops drop” to get the crowd going. Hopefully that will become a tradition for basketball. What tradition does the football games have to get the crowd hyped up?

Judging from the comments I heard from the Iowa St. fans, they agree with you. The smallish stadium, lack of a crowd, and quietness of the crowd.

another reason as to why we should expand…

Those secondary boards are probably about like ours in the SE corner.

The main one in the north end zone definitely isn’t puny - it stretches out about the width between the numbers on the field.
