Best new fan experience for the season

[BeachBumDeac]

The red shirt guy who comes on the field for media timeouts now holds a giant clock that counts down how long the commercial break is. Love it.

Yeah I liked that, at least we know exactly when play will restart now

He sucked. 4 minute timeouts with each change of possession kills all momentum and is a bore.

He’s just the messenger

Gotta satisfy all the big time sponsors of the game

I saw that one commercially literally 20 times and I couldn’t tell you today what it was for. I think my brain wiped it from memory.

The oxygen one or the travel one

 

[WFU1977]

He still sucked. He could mix up a bit and do a 120 second break. But nooooo, every effing one was for 240 secs give or take.

 

[BarcaDeac]

Yeah some pud standing on the sideline is the decision maker here

 

[sailordeac]

the ads were awful without exception and the commercial breaks way too long

I can't believe such ads actually get people to buy the products being promoted

Get used to it. It’s a new network with a very small audience. Hard to get a bunch of advertisers to jump on right away.

Also this thread is about the experience for the fans at the game who can now quickly see at a glance when the timeout is over and when play will resume.

Yes to Sea of Song and the I'm a Fan towels were useful. Disappointing on close to sell out opener with a new metal detector wand policy, only half of the Baseball field gates were staffed.

Make that

Red Sea of Sound

And hats off to them. Really enjoyed their performance on.the field and during the timeouts.

Great, full sound but zero of the high-stepping and showmanship that is typical of an HBCU marching band. That may have been due to it being early in the season with minimal practice time and/or deference to SOTOGAB as the host to not try and upstage them, but again not what I was anticipating. But kudos to them for making an appearance; definitely contributed to the atmosphere and energy.

not gonna lie, if I needed oxygen, I would totally buy that make your own oxygen backpack thingy. That's much better than wheeling around an entire tank. Watching that commercial 20 times worked on me.

Exactly. It tells me if I have time to just piss or to piss and buy another beer.

Exactly what I was thinking. They sounded great though.
