March 29, 201412 yr I guess I'm the exception. I prefer being in the stadium. I love all of it, the tailgating, the pregame ceremonies, the crowd, the noise, 3rd down, and more tailgating. I much prefer being in the stadium. TV is good, in the stadium is awesome. I like watching what's happening on the sidelines, I love the electricity when your team does something great and you and all the fans explode. In my mind there's no comparison to be made between the live and at home experience.
March 29, 201412 yr I know I would never pay for a cheerleader to greet me, what a waste of funds. NFL cheerleaders want more money. Might get a quality lap dance out of it... :banana:
March 29, 201412 yr Bengals fan base will increase when a new owner takes over. Until then we're stuck with the same moron who won't spend money and throws darts in the draft getting lucky once every 2 decades. Even with that it's a team who can win regular season games.
March 30, 201412 yr I'd give anything (not literally, before someone calls me out) to see a game at Centurylink.
March 31, 201412 yr I have talked to the Bengals at length about the lack of phone service inside the stadium. That one is a biggie for me. And I also agree that the in home experience is so great the NFL needs to work hard in this area to avoid a big slide. If I'm at PBS, why the heck would I want to be on my phone? Are you speaking of before and after a game? I could probably understand that.

March 31, 201412 yr I'd give anything (not literally, before someone calls me out) to see a game at Centurylink. Let me know and I'll tag along.
March 31, 201412 yr Texting and checking any internet application. Why? You're at a live sporting event. Put the phone away.
March 31, 201412 yr Maybe the best way to enhance the stadium experience is having AFFORDABLE concessions. Maybe having NFL Owners not charging 1000% markup on everything would make it a better fan experience.

USF hired Experience to enhance all sports at the University and the first thing they recommended was lowering concession prices. It seems to be working, to some extent, with WBB, softball, and baseball. More students are coming out for the games, than in the past.

There are a lot of people that don't attend simply because it is so expensive. If you go to a game with you your wife and 1 kid you better plan on spending at least a 100 on concessions for a 3 hour baseball game.
April 1, 201412 yr Why? You're at a live sporting event. Put the phone away. Different generation my man.
April 1, 201412 yr Different generation my man. This is true. And I'm not so sure for the good. I get real aggravated with folks that bring them and constantly talk on them as if they're the only people in the stadium. But hey, if my wife attends a baseball game with me she'll bring a doggone book with her, that's aggravating as well. I even taught how to keep score to help keep her interested in the game! :ohbrother:
April 2, 201412 yr I get on the phone during halftime and timeouts. It just allows me to keep up with scores of other games and fantasy stats. During the game, the phone is put away.
