One complaint about the game.

[benatmsu]

Let me start by saying that Johnathan Holmes is much improved in the PA duties this year... but I just think one qualification for the PA guy for the Mississippi State Bulldogs would be that you could pronounce the word "bulldogs". Not Bulldoigs... other than that, I think he is 10 times better than he was last year.

He's OK. Just generic PA guy. Maybe that's what the AD was going for, not sure.

Whether you liked Flick or not, he brought a brand to the mic. Especially for basketball.

But today nobody leaves DWS remembering the PA guy as part of the experience and gameday. Maybe that's the way its supposed to be.

The gosh damn lines getting in the stadium were worse than Disney World during the apex of summer. Half the damn gates were closed, my gate 8 was locked down. They better fix this **** before Thursday, no excuses. At least a 45 wait. I have never seen it like that before.

Half the damn gates were closed, my gate 8 was locked down.

Exaggerate much? Gate 8 was closed because of a water leak. It was tweeted by the facility staff. everyone was also told that the gates on the ends of the stadium would be faster because they have multiple lines and ticket readers. We have a lot more tailgating going on than we have had in the past and that means more people trying to get in right before the game.

Half the gates closed, %$*#%%% hilarious....

they sent an update out on twitter that gate 8 was closed due to a water line busting. really dont see a way they can improve the lines. problem is most our fans wait till the last minute to enter the stadium so you have 40,000 people trying to get in 30 minutes before kick off. I learned my lesson last year you cant leave the junction 30 min before kick off and expect to have your drink in hand and in your seat by kick off.

my biggest complaint would be put some kind of air freshner or something in the templeton troughs. the smell could peel paint off walls. and dont play the most interesting freshmen ad 3 times in a ball game.

I will say the concession stand lines have improved greatly over last year. and the additon of tvs and the radio broadcast being played under the stadium are huge upgrades.

A sheet of paper, a magic marker, and some scotch tape would have been more effective on Gate 8 communication. I dunno, maybe a sign on Gate 8 giving better options than to stand in line with 1,000 people for gate 7.

And dude I tried to get in the stadium 1 hour before kickoff. That is way more than enough time to not have to wait 30 minutes in line to get in the stadium. Shouldn't be that way ever.....and usually isn't when Gate 8 isn't locked down.

Whatever, in the future I'm going in the first West side gate that has no line or a short line.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

45 minutes sounds a little exaggerated.

than waiting at a closed gate for an hour.

Since when do you have to go in a certain gate? I sat on the East side for about 10 years straight and walked in any gate I wanted. This is the second year I have sat on the West side, and I walk in any gate I want. I have never even given it a thought. The shortest line I see when I am ready to go in is the one I get in.

 

[hooptydawg]

and to sound a little blue-hairish, what the a-holes at the walkthrough who come up 5 minutes prior and stand right the F in front of kid; granted I have anger issues but I wanted to hit somebody

 

[mstatedawgs]

we were in line for 10mins - east side by the junction. huge line i figured it would take a while it it moved along. this was 45mins before kick off.

i agree the tvs and radio below the stadium is huge +

 

[pessimisst]

We waited at Gate 7 & it was about 35 min wait.

I subscribe to most/all I can find MSU Sports twitter feeds, but when I can't get a damn signal on my iphone from the parking lot an hour before gametime it doesn't help as much as I hope.

 

[Sarc Dawg]

not trying to be a jackass, but try going to the gates on the opposite side of the Junction. I practically walked right in after seeing the cluster 17 on the south side. And this was about 5:30. Maybe I just lucked out, but the crowd wasn't bad at all there.

 

[columbiadawg2]

I walked in at gate 9 around 5:15. I had no wait in line at all and walked right up to the concession stand also with no line.

 

[o_Hot Rock]

I went in gate nine around 5:30 and it was a longer wait than what I was used to seeing. That side of the stadium is usually easier but the lines on gate seven was ridiculous and I was worried about making it to game time. I almost missed the fly over.

 

[RougeDawg]

East side, south gates were a cluster17... We could have easily had over 60k in there Saturday night. Right before I walked in the ticket guy in my line walked down 3 gates and left his wide open and unattended. 20 people could have easily walked in without a ticket.... Worst Line I've ever seen 40 min before kickoff ever (been a regular since 97).

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

Walked in the North East gate at 5:30 -- absolutely no line.</p>

[coursesuper]

to get in our seats. I came through gate 3 took only 10 min.and beat them to our seats.They went in the north endzone west side. I think the difference from the past other than more asses in seats is the ticket scanners, its just slower. We get a good count but its slower than the past.

 

[gdogg]

that was bat **** crazy.

 

[Dental Dawg]

They have a gate near the 30 yard line that's never used. I don't know if this is the one with the water line break, but it never has a line. I don't know if it's used for visitors or recruites, but it pisses me off every time I pass it to go into my gate and wait 20 minutes.

 

[AssEndDawg]

it's for the family/friends of the players and coaches. They don't have ticket readers, they just have the sheet that the players used to mark down who gets their tickets.

Seriously, you people are a piece of work...

 

[dawgoneyall]

what, when, where or how needs to be done (but some one does from where ever) but the sound needs a major tweaking.
