Yeah but the wifi and cell service in this place sucks. I’m demanding RayJay quality wifi in the ocs.
Atkins did hit 1,000, didn’t he?

Yes.  He got well over 1000.

Back from the game.  Other than the team's play and the great victory, this lower-level bowl absolutely sucked from a fan's perspective.

Absolutely no pre-kickoff activity of interest on the field.  The bands did not appear, all of a sudden the first parachuter appeared under the lights and hit the ground 2 seconds later.  The PA announcer sounded surprised people were dropping in when he said and that was so and so Navy seal.  NO ONE knew they were in the sky on their way down.  There was zero in-game fan cams, dance cams, etc.  Also, not the bowl's fault I guess, but the bands were on same side of the stadium as their fans.  If you weren't sitting in the section next to them or behind them, you couldn't hear them at all.  We were in 125 and could only hear the Syracuse band as they were facing us.

Now, what we need to learn from FAU's stadium.  It was an okay facility, but you could not hear the PA announcer if you were on the other side of the 50 away from the video screen where the only speakers were.  The wifi and cell coverage was awful.  Parking was a super mess with really bad signage and no one helping with the flow into the lots.  People were kind of on their own making a bunch of U-turns and trying to find the entrance to the cash lot.  After waiting in a long, long line around 6:15, we made it to the entry and there were only 2 guys taking the cash.  We were with some friends who go to all the FAU home games and they said they have none of these issues when FAU is in control.  Many of the concessions were closed and there were really long lines at the bars.  They ran out of a lot of food at half time.

Bottom line is these made-for-tv ESPN bowls not in NFL stadiums care little about the fan experience.  They only want to sell ads and that's it.  All that being, said we had a GREAT time and the victory was super sweet.  It's been a while.

GO BULLS!

I couldn't get a text out, concessions blew and the lines didn't move.  Also audio was unhearable. 

Hopefully we beat this.
