Just push how using the tap and go works this week and I think things will be better.
Too much was made over the whole "screenshot" crap that having brand new technology for the rest of stadium got pushed to the side.

so the too few scanners will not be addressed because people don’t want to work? I wonder if pay is a problem? Seems we should start an NIL to pay the stadium staff so they want to work. When will the band and cheer squad get NIL?

Come earlier, you’ll still stand in line for an absurd amount of time but atleast you’ll see the start.

 

[Cyclone06]

Fast forward 10 years… we no longer have stadium staff. Please just go straight to the game and take any garbage you have out with you. Also, please check your ticket for your assigned maintenance project that is required with your ticket purchase.

This doesn’t end well

Taking out the turnstiles is a nice start

Wait do we have to pay a fee to enter now? A convenience fee for Mobile ticketing sounds about right.

There’s a fast pass option to skip the line.

How many recruits you got to buy for that?

Seems like an opportunity @brentblum

Everything said in that interview was pretty tone deaf.

He has completely missed the issue on several things.

I love Pollard, but he is not handling the many issues right now very well.


If everyone shows up early then the same problem just starts then.
Some didnt have issues. Others did. I did everything supposed to do, had the tap set up and ready, etc. But the readers wouldnt read my phone/tix. Tell me how that is going to be addressed?

Show up an hour early, for the game....but dont you dare show up early for the tailgate, that we already have pushed later.

I hear a lot of excuses, a lot of pushing the blame on fans. But no solutions. I want to hear actual solutions.

So does anyone know if the west gates are going to be open? Someone said they weren't last week. Did anyone go through the west gates last week?

Going to the game a little earlier when you know there’s new technology is usually just common sense. There’s always difficulties with a new transition. It’s also common sense that people don’t want to do these types of jobs anymore so finding people to do them is harder than ever, even with starting pay being more than double what it was 3 years ago.

If you start the problem earlier you end it earlier, getting people into the stadium earlier.

Yes the west was open. Just tough to get there from the majority of pre game parking spaces.

Moving the problem is always effective.
