[QUOTE="91Wreck, post: 339775, member: 680"] Yes I am complaining. It should not take me over ten minutes to get into the stadium when only about 30k to 35k people are actually at the game. I have never been to any other sporting event where that happens. It is an embarrassment. Last year, I waited in line for over 15 minutes because there was a communication issue about the coaches going to the press box. Several hundred people were not allowed to go through the gate while waiting for the coaches to come through the security area. What the coaches really wanted was just a clear path to get in the gate. They did not want the whole gate closed. To further compound the issue, didn't someone post an article not to long ago that stated our IE department had made multiple changes to the game day experience to shorten the lines at the gate and the vending areas? Isn't our IE school supposed to be the best in the nation? Can't we do anything right to make the game day experience better? It seemed to me that NO ONE in the security lines knew what they were doing. Don't get me wrong, they are all very friendly people, but I would take rude people that know what they are doing over friendly people that are clueless. It may not be their fault - they may not be adequately trained, or they may be understaffed, or (worse yet) they might be doing exactly what our administration wants. Honestly it is almost as if our administration is purposely trying to make the game day experience as bad as possible. I wish someone on this board was a personal friend of Stansbury so that maybe some of this issues could be addressed. If not, I am going to begin to watch games at home. And I attend about 4 to 5 football games per year and at least one basketball game. It is a 2.5 hour drive for me and it is beginning to be more trouble than what it is worth. And finally, if I ever believe that guns and bombs are a real problem, then I am not going to bring my family to another game - because I do not trust that our security staff is competent enough to catch anyone that is carrying some type of weapon into a game. They are more concerned about some guy sneaking a granola bar into the game than they are a gun. [/QUOTE]
