What's Needed At The Alerus?

[siouxforcefans]

^^ embrace the team - player pictures on the walls, able to buy a UND t-shirt inside the building, anything that doesn't seem like the game is just tonight's event and will have moved on to the next town by morning.

What's needed at the alerus?  how about a n f'n clue...

not really an alerus thing but the intro video sucked...guys flexing and posing???

they have had weeks to get ready for the starting lineups announcements to coordinate with the video boards pictures of the players...total fail embarressing maybe got five pics up there before they gave up

took hadju about a quarter and half to let the pa guy know that bartels is not returning kicks

and the worst was the battle of the bands...honoring cam johnson and the usd band is playing right over the pa guy...

 

nice work guys.

That was Hillarious!!  "Bartles on the kick return".........ugh.

Couldn't agree more.  Very bush league once again by the Alerus production crew, but unfortunately it is what I have come to expect.  Got a bit excited when the lights went out and Welcome to the Jungle fired up, but the debacle of the ensuing intro video and entrance quashed that right quick.  My wife, who really doesn't give a rat's behind about such things, just smiled and rolled her eyes at me realizing how lame it was.

I am thinking (hoping) whatever kid they have running the video boards pushed the wrong button and played the intro video and GNR out of order.  Inexcusable, but maybe it'll be better in two weeks.

Ah...you and your hate-boner for Hajdu...

Your hatred runs so deep for the guy, that no matter how many people tell you, it seems to still not sink in that he does not run this sport.

If you are going to bitch and moan, at least do it right.

Getting the lights out was good and place started ramping up with GNR, then intro killed the vibe. That intro should be played before GNR and before the team leaves the Locker Room imo. Get the anticipation up for a intro video. Maybe a music change can get the intro better, or continue playing GNR over it.

They are all SIDs. Powell is the SID for Football, not Hajdu.

I agree Powell deserves more blame in general (not sure about this particular complaint, but I seem to see the most complaints about FB and MBB info). But isn't Hajdu his manager? If so, it may be fair to knock him for not adequately managing his people.

To be honest, I'm not sure I know what their duties even consist of other than tweeting about the Blue Jays and obscure Canadian sports.

"killer intro video"...really? they really need to check out nau's intro video...that one is pretty good.

[UND-FB-FAN]

With the lights off and "welcome to the jungle", the intro video and team entrance was improved over last season. In general, I enjoyed it, but there are a bunch of aspects they can improve.

Video should play before the live look of the team leaving the locker room. That simple "ordering" could potentially be changed before Oct. 1 vs Cal Poly I would hope. 

Again, though, there is work to be done in terms of general presentation at the Alerus. Im hoping it was just first game mistakes and it will improve. Increase in amount of music played was perhaps better. Just need to coordinate the intro video a bit better to raise the excitement factor.

Need more guys with credentials on the south endzone

[NoDakFan]

How about change up some of the music that was played, or expand the setlist. A buddy and I noticed a few songs that ended up being played 3 or 4 times yesterday, and it kinda took away from the atmosphere.

[darell1976]

Sound on the video sucked. I could hear the PA guy fine but when there was a video it was bad.

[geaux_sioux]

They played 'Til I Collapse' a few times yesterday. That's progress in my book.

[northernraider]

how does the Alerus not have free wifi? The metal around the arena basically makes my phone useless.

[northernraider]

Does the Alerus sell Standing Room Only tickets? It was nice to see the catwalk full, but how many empty seats does that equate to?

Get the Dakota schools rotating in by joining the MVFC.  

The Big Sky is okay, but I think the old rivalries would spark more interest.

more of a conference realignment thread post?  how would having sdsu and und in the same conference fix the error of the alerus/und thinking that our 3rd string qb is returning kickoffs?

I agree with this totally. These guys need help. GNR should be played as the team is running out. To play it for a min and then quit it to play the intro was terrible. Seemed like a high school production.

G'nR should not be played at all, IMO.  Really, can't we find something that isn't used by 2,376,455 other teams?!!

anything....seriously...anything would be better.

and i actually like g'nr.
