[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 836808, member: 959"] Talking about making the team a tighter weave into the GT Community should pay off in the future. I couldn't agree more. The reality is that there is too much supply of entertainment nowadays - you can literally live stream anything you want at any time, anywhere you are to your mobile phone. With AR and VR coming, there is less and less interest from people in things they can't interact with. Take shows for example, you see them now trying to include fans (little off topic, but Survivor the TV show has introduced a "game within the game" to let viewers play along with the contestants). Consumers are being reached earlier and earlier in their lives and are being curated to enjoy different types of activities. Live sports is being consumed by interactive betting, watching 4 games at once at home, etc. The pageantry and sheer epicness of a gameday Saturday is losing it's mustard. That is why many of us - looking to the future - advocate for game day experience changes. Better seating and "event experience" from game day, beer garden overlooking the ATL Skyline, etc. We have to move to where Football watching/money making is going because we have missed our window to compete in the old paradigm. What [USER=1237]@iceeater1969[/USER] is talking about is more of a local, soft touch approach to the same end. Endearing the team to the student body writ large matters. Siphoning off fans from other sports, and sharing our fans with those programs builds a stronger community around GT Athletics broadly. Like the roots of a cypress tree these things intertwine and become stronger for the entanglement. [/QUOTE]
