[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 74138, member: 231"] Then I suppose I am just disagreeing with the logic that complaints will have any impact at all in the short term or long term [I]specifically [/I]with regard to start times. You are free to be an idealist about popular local protest causing systemic changes. I don't think the economics of college football or the power to make such decisions is lodged in any place or manner such that complaints to schools AA's can result in making a change to noon starts in the south in August and September. In my opinion (from years of dealing with customers in many types of business which comes with being a billionaire CEO) idle complaints are at best responded to with attempts at patronizing sympathy because one [I]wants [/I]to agree with your customer as much as possible and certainly wants to "seem to care" but they ultimately go in one ear and out the other if they are wholly disengaged from the reality and structure of the business in its necessary operation. Getting to bring in water was a positive step. I think that some of Tech's great architects and engineers may be able to put their thinking caps on for other workable solutions and means of offsetting the terror of the beating sun over Grant Field on Saturdays at noon in August and September. Possibly the aluminum and white concrete structures we sit on that must cause terrible reflection and containment of the heat can be worked upon with some form of heat-reducing coatings/latex/paints. Or like you mention some kind of easy to erect temporary tenting or overhangs. Possibly retractable canvas shades/tarps. Maybe even a couple more strategically built skyscrapers to beautify the ATL skyline and cast a shade over the stadium at noon in the summer for those CEO Tech alums who may want to locate their corporate offices in midtown.
