1 per account. The rest that used to be given per seat now go to eBay with proceeds to NIL

Dan has a conflict tomorrow night (he also announces the RI high school championship games) and Jack is filling in.

Tell them to record you for the Minute of Mayhem then play it during that going forward. That should be used forever as long as the sponsor exists. It can't be done better.

Have really enjoyed what you have done with the Ryan Center atmosphere. You have done a great job and is not easy when the team is not performing well which has been the case the last few years. We will miss you and it sucks that you are going out with a team of this caliber, you deserved better. Good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Does the magnet also repel losing seasons? If so I'll take a dozen.

Random, but this irks me every time I'm in the Ryan. Why do they not have automatic sink faucets?? You're already halfway there with the automatic soap dispensers. And to make matters worse, when you press down on the faucet handle the water stays on for about a second. How the F are you supposed to wash your hands in any sort of normal capacity if one hand has to remain on the faucet to keep the water flowing? And honestly, how much would it really cost to upgrade the faucets? Such a simple "upgrade", especially this day in age. Ok, rant over. Apologies if this was already covered in the thread, I didn't read back through it.

…sink faucets? We're complaining about automatic sink faucets?

Jesus Christ man, come on.

I would guess the overwhelming majority of stadiums and arenas have auto sink faucets.

That's about the last thing in the building that anyone should be worried about.

Yes, sink faucets. It would be a drop in the bucket to change them out. And yes, I have to imagine the majority of stadiums and arenas have auto sink faucets. And I guarantee you it annoys more people than you think, which is why it should be a no brainer to change them out.

Never said I was worried about it, I said it irked me. Like 99% of your posts, including this one.

It was hardly noticeable, right next to the Towers Brewery schwag table. Attendant with a laptop and a stack of magnets.

Last night may have been the last straw for me as a season ticket holder (7 yrs and running). The poor product on the floor is the least of my complaints. It would be great to see more effort, but these kids checked out weeks ago. That, along with the horrible wifi and a pitiful non conference schedule (we actually had to pay to see J&W?) had me teetering. But last night may have been the clincher. After getting drenched to and from the parking lot for last Saturday's game I came up with a bright idea to bring an umbrella last night. Not the kind you would take to a golf course...no...just a small one that when closed actually fit zipped in to my jacket pocket. At the gate I was told I couldn't bring it into the arena, but could leave in in the barrel by the entrance (I guess so someone else could grab it if they needed one on the way out). Not sure what they thought I was going to do once I got the umbrella inside. Shoot somebody with it? Maybe open it up and block people's views from the atrocity that was happening on the court?

I'm sure this has happened to others and maybe I'm overreacting, but with all of the above, I just don't see myself renewing next year...especially when I can by single game tix and sit pretty much anywhere I want.

They also didn’t do $2 hot dogs at multiple concession stands from 6-7 like they posted everywhere on social media.

Advertise something and then completely disregard it.

Not the first time they’ve advertised something this season and completely didn’t follow thru with it at the game.

No...I made the 6 minute walk back to the car...missed the rollicking senior celebration, but made it back in time for the anthem...and got drenched walking back to the car after the game. But i saved myself from losing an umbrella and having to buy a new one!

We have 4 tickets and 4 cars. We decided to give the Ram a week on each car.
I didn’t even see the table, but I didn’t walk around either. I guess the less memories of this season the better.
It was hardly noticeable, right next to the Towers Brewery schwag table. Attendant with a laptop and a stack of magnets.
Yeah, that was Tyler, at least when I got mine.

We could only wish that he is a permanent replacement.

Funny that the Governor was there without his unapologetic sycophant at the microphone
McGoo’s Advance Team probably asked for Dan to not be there 😫🤣🤣

Keepsake for the season, I guess. Thanks. Details, one magnet per account, not per seat. OMG, why do they bother. Didn’t they do one towel per account before?
One magnet per account?

Oh kay

Should have been a magnet per seat! 🚘 💺

It would be great to see more effort, but these kids checked out weeks ago. That, along with the horrible wifi and a pitiful non conference schedule (we actually had to pay to see J&W?) had me teetering. But last night may have been the clincher. After getting drenched to and from the parking lot for last Saturday's game I came up with a bright idea to bring an umbrella last night. Not the kind you would take to a golf course...no...just a small one that when closed actually fit zipped in to my jacket pocket. At the gate I was told I couldn't bring it into the arena, but could leave in in the barrel by the entrance (I guess so someone else could grab it if they needed one on the way out). Not sure what they thought I was going to do once I got the umbrella inside. Shoot somebody with it? Maybe open it up and block people's views from the atrocity that was happening on the court?

I'm sure this has happened to others and maybe I'm overreacting, but with all of the above, I just don't see myself renewing next year...especially when I can by single game tix and sit pretty much anywhere I want.

That is very poor fan experience. “Throw your umbrella in a community bucket”.

Maybe next season it will be ponchos only.

while i'm in the mood of piling on...something else i find annoying at the RC...my seats are at half court in section 205 (the side the benches are on). whenever there are introductions of student athletes, ramettes, cheerleaders, etc during timeouts or at halftime, the student is always facing the other side of the arena. not a big deal in and of itself, but why not have a video of the introduction on the scoreboard so the entire arena can see who they are cheering for? anyone else find this annoying or am i just being petty?

One would think that they would face the suites side. I am in 305 and have wondered the same thing for years.

Same section here. I think it's because they take pictures of every one of those groups, and the Ram logo at center court faces that way.

RI Bred...I agree with why they take them from that direction...my point is they have the technology to video it and show it on the main scoreboard so everyone can see it. They show the bowling contest on the main scoreboard. Why can't they video these mini ceremonies?

Seems like a simple ask.
