The Stadium

FootballChick · November 9th, 2006, 06:14 PM

I am a college student and my current assignment is to choose an organization with a problem and attempt to solve that problem. I have chosen the Cardinals and, specifically, the stadium. At first glance, these are some of the opportunities for improvement which have been pointed out to me:

Limitations on fan signs in the stadium
The 'hall monitors' getting on the fans' cases for standing on the rare occasions that the Cards are driving
The horrible sound system and the utter lack of close captioning
After the game, the post-game show is shown on the jumbotron, but the hall monitors will not let you stay and watch it (why show it if it is not meant to be seen?)

Please give me your take on these issues. As football fans, I would like to know if you are all as puzzled by these issues as I am. Also, I get conflicting information as to who is responsible for these rules, the Cardinals organization or the Stadium.

Thanks for your help!

Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th time somebody has been on here with a similar post?

I wonder if she's from Nigeria?

She is NOT from Nigeria, she just did not see the previous posts. I will dig in and see if I can find them. I did not mean to be repetitive. . .

Sign issue? Don't really care... "Hall monitors"? I haven't had any problems in my section with people getting yelled at, if anything, we're yelling at people to get off their asses. The sound system does suck, you can't understand anything anyone is saying. Post game show? Not sure if you've been to many of the games, but most of the time, we are walking away in disgust. I don't think it is probably a big deal for most.

If you can fix the wins everyone on this board would love ya! The stadium is not anyones problem . it's what goes on inside on the roll out field of real grass.

Television monitors in the restrooms would be awesome.

The worst is that you can't get the game on radio inside the stadium.

That really sucks.

They make us take down our Tillman sign everygame. They say nothing can be tied....the lil' girls in front of me hold the Tillman poster up all game.

I always have some old folk opposing fans behind me. They tell me to sit down and tell them make me. I do whatever I want in that section....the security is this cute chick....give her a couple winks and I can stand all I want!! VIVA LA CARDINALS

Since I never bring signs, I am not bothered by this
The 'hall monitors' getting on the fans' cases for standing on the rare occasions that the Cards are driving

I stay in my seat most of the game so this doesn't bother me either
The horrible sound system and the utter lack of close captioning

Seems like the sound system had gotten a little better each week, but still could use major improvement. Do most stadiums have close captioning on their jumbotrons? I've never really noticed.
After the game, the post-game show is shown on the jumbotron, but the hall monitors will not let you stay and watch it (why show it if it is not meant to be seen?)

We stay in our seats and watch the post game show. We have never been asked to leave. I will say that close captioning would be good here as it's very hard to understand what Green is saying.

Please give me your take on these issues. As football fans, I would like to know if you are all as puzzled by these issues as I am. Also, I get conflicting information as to who is responsible for these rules, the Cardinals organization or the Stadium.

Thanks for your help!

Hope this helps.
