Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
It's not happening for sure this year - because the marketing/ad contracts have already been sold, and I am sure there are contractual stipulations that say "if you pay us x you get all of this uninterrupted screen space for y amount of time."NYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑4 years agoTranslation: Not happening.ElmCityRhody wrote: ↑4 years agoRhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑4 years ago One thing I noticed the last home game was during a large chunk of halftime on the ribbon board there was just a generic URI graphic for much of the time.

seems logical to me
This stuff is tough to work with because I'm sure there are Learfield-level stipulations and packages that require such things. That puts more money in the team's pockets that lets them fly charters, etc. So I'm good there. I'm even fine if they never change it.
That just highlights another reason to invest in the WiFi infrastructure so that you don't have to affect incoming ad revenue with the WiFi.
It also wouldn't be the worst idea to reach out to their IT providers and see if they wouldn't be interested in working out some sort of deal for sponsorship in exchange for a deeper discount on the equipment. Would probably be a thunderous applause in the arena if Yorke annouced "while you connect to your WiFi deployed by company x, enjoy this promo" or something.
Seems like a no-brainer to me. Hopefully they've been working that angle already.

I also hope they have some sort of "blue out" or "white out". They already handed out shirts for the PC game and the one last week vs Duquesne so idk if they're planning another.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑4 years agoPromotional stuff like T-shirts

But that was the point, it's not an ad, it's the URI logo on a dark background. They could do it tomorrow if they so choose.

I for one think the press area needs to go. But watching on tv ( when it’s filled up like it is ) it’s not really notable.
But something has to be done with that area.

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
Is URI getting refunded it’s money for the cellphone light system? I know it is a tech issue and all that, but if my IT team contract failed/performed at 15% for 2/3 of the semester, heads and contracts would roll

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
I just wonder how many more beers they would need to sell before they can get WiFi or a cell repeater in there?
Sell 2000 beers a night. $5 profit minimum. Do it for a season. Buy the equipment.
It’s so god damn embarrassing for an arena that new.

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
I tried for the umpteenth time this season. My Bluetooth is always on. It’s how I listen to Spotify while driving plus use my headphones. Never once has cue worked. There’s something wrong and whoever signed the contract at URI needs to get a complete refund. I’m not even being facetious. An investment was made in this and it has been a disaster since November.

Can we throw that kid in jail who said he had no idea who Delroy or Cothran were?
I know we talk about avoiding ram on Ram crime but we can just go ahead and kick that dude out of the fan base if that’s cool with everyone.

Believe it or not.
I got CUE to work tonight!
I don’t know HOW on earth it happened. Note to everyone, if you want to check your flash to see if CUE is working - you will go temporarily blind for 30 seconds. Again, no idea how it worked and I used the same processes and procedures as I have since November.

Haha! Maybe only one seat per section can work for CUE?
Between the oil slick on his head and that burgundy suit I now have “What is love? Baby don’t hurt me... no more...“ stuck in my head as I try to go to bed.

What if I called Athletics and said I wanted a KB only event in a pub. It would probably have to be at the exhibition game in October at this end of the current season. But then again I know people don’t want to say who they are.

They should have a table at the entrance and they troubleshoot your cue app for you so it will work.
