I'd have to say fail on the wifi as well. 1mbs that drops every 10 seconds.

saw that mo state twitter stopped tweeting and then came back and blamed the crappy internet/wireless for the problem

Why are all the NCC banners gone? I was on the visitor side so I only noticed the backside of the Great West, Big Sky and one other banner (assuming it was the 2001 NC banner?)

The Hawk's Nest was greener and cleaner, looked like a new building, kind of like the Golden Egg does every weekend! Sound system is very improved. Wifi was very good. Wednesday at the Hawk's Perch the Wifi, was really slow.

FB team is also improved. That was one hell of a balanced attach. Missouri St. still might be shaking their heads, we never prepared for that?

Good attendance, over 12G. I would just bring up that the crowd needs to get into the game a little more, and be very quiet when we are about to snap the ball.  Bubba is building a FB prgram. This is energizing the rebuilding of a fan base which is only bound to become better, one game at a time.

My hat is off to the people getting the Alerus ready for the game, the people working the game, and the 3 committees.

Apparently the west side must be ok for sound.by previous comments.  I sit in 206 and could not make out anything the refs or announcer said. Horrible compared to last year for our section.

I'm in 215, big improvement. Interesting, may have to do some tweaking.

I was in 217 and sound was good.

1. Not enough porta potties

2.  Sound systems still sucks

3. Champions club tent ran out of food early

4. Line to get in was long, but moved fast

 

Teams seems to be improved so there is that

Thanks for the confirmation.  After the initial replies I thought I was just getting old.  I'm also in 206 and had relatives in 208, and we all felt it was a major downgrade from the previous system.  If it was improved in other areas, hopefully it is just a matter of making some adjustments.

None of the above.  Thanks for asking.

[Cratter]

Sounded the same to me on the west side, but I never thought it was bad in the first place.

[northernraider]

I noticed there was a guy walking around with a laptop during the game. I think we was measuring sounds levels, so maybe a little better in two weeks.

First time I could hear and understand what was said over the pa in 215

[77iceman]

We warched from the catwalk the whole game.  Couldnt really hear the pa from there, but the catwalk crew isn't the type that cares....we're too busy making our own noise.

no complaints here

Sorry, I don't know what got over me last night, I just couldn't help myself.

Always room for improvements, and we are going in the right direction.

Agreed, I was on the catwalk and don't recall ever hearing the PA but I did not care one bit.

No problem.

I was glad to see so many people at the game yesterday.  I'll be at every game with or without improvments, just hope enough was done yesterday to make everyone come back for more.

There were a lot of pissedoff people waiting in line to piss.

In 207, the sound system was not very good. I was disappointed. Since it's a new system, I'm sure it's either a settings issue or the acoustics of the Alerus are what they are. 

I was very impressed with the new lighting system. Very professional looking presentation on the field - nice, nice job! 

The new signage and green accents were all great touches, keep up the good work!

Lastly, I thought the use of in-game music was much much better. It kept the fans and students who aren't there purely as diehards, like most on this board, engaged and entertained.

Alerus boasts about the great acoustics, so it should be tweaking the system.  It sounded good to me.

I find it a little loud, also does the players like it being in the huddle when bam a song comes on until they break the huddle. I love the jeopardy theme during the replays.  

[geaux_sioux]

From the catwalk I wouldn't hear much of anything. Not sure if that's a speaker issue or a catwalk issue. Was the intro loud enough in other spots? I couldn't hear it at all. I wish it would be like the Engelstad where it thumps in your chest.

That's the way it's done around the country, DI NCAA and NFL. Glad Alerus Center caught up to modern times and sports entertainment.

The sound system on the catwalk sounded as if one held their hand over their mouth while speaking. 

The lighting was A+ ....well done.
