Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
All great points, but this one is so true. Yes as I get older (51, not THAT old) background noise bothers me more. Case in point, freaking Whaler's. But the sheer loudness of the Ryan Center makes it impossible to speak with anyone else outside of any actual game action. It's infuriating!Blue Man wrote: ↑1 year ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices and I'm sure, with the median age of ticket holders at about 70, that others notice it too, A LOT!
Such an easy fix, c'mon man! I can't even hear myself yell at the clouds during timeouts!

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
Musts:
Fix the streaming TV product bc that is how the majority of fans not in the area are watching games. Put professionals on the color and play by play. Use the students for the sideline reporting or for some in game packages profiling some of the players etc. Net net give them some access and experience without putting out a subpar broadcast product.
Last night they said “Malik Martin is 1 of the best finishers.” And also “Malik Martin is 1 of the most fun players in the NCAA.” You can’t make this up.

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
It's kind of crazy that they're relying on students for this *now* of all times, when its never been easier to find people with whatever media experience you want to hire. This isn't the 1970s, when Bob Costas got hired by the St. Louis Spirits because he mailed them in a reel-to-reel tape he made while at Syracuse. I assume it's a case of using people they're comfortable with, because they know them and they've interned, but given how many people are experiencing the games via streaming TV, it's a position that should be filled after casting a wide net and listening to plenty of tape.bigappleram wrote: ↑1 year ago Musts:

I've said it before, my daughter's D3 WBB team streams all games home and away. Granted not on ESPN+, but on the Little East Network (Little East Conference). Her home games are the home (student) announcers and the away games are the home team's announcers. Almost all teams in conference have very good announcers: some are students, some are older guys that have been doing it a long time. I'd say 99% of what I have heard are better than our TV team. I'd be very surprised if they are paid, and if so it can't be much.
Maybe it's just bad luck right now that we don't have better student play by play and color?

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
You're just focused on it because it's students doing this. Pros lean on empty platitudes like this constantly, it's not just a student thing. I bet if people used the same focus over these last 3 games that are all on national TV you'd hear things just as bad or worse fairly regularlybigappleram wrote: ↑1 year ago Musts:

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
I was shocked when watching the Fordham/URI game earlier in the year that URI used student broadcaster for ESPN+. Fordham has one of the best broadcasting programs in the nation and we still use professional broadcasters for ESPN+ games. Streaming is widespread enough now that it should be treated the same as a televised product at this point.bigappleram wrote: ↑1 year ago Musts:

I've read some negative posts on here about the DJ. DJ Face is one of the most popular DJs in the state of RI. We are lucky to have him. When they allow him to do his thing, the place is electric. He plays at the trap on Saturday nights in EG. I highly suggest checking him out.. I would much rather hear a beat drop from a popular song over a mediocre band. I was so hyped during the Lasalle game when Face blasted Zombie nation. Our entire section was going crazy.

IMO, too much techno, Id like a more eclectic mix. House at the right moments is great, but mix it up. I also think our band should be making themselves much more present in the building. You can't have college basketball without a pep band.

Zombie Nation is awesome and will always be awesome. I've been with plenty of people in EG. Newport, Gansett, Providence etc. At a DJ Face show, losing our minds to that song and others he plays. He has a great mix of old real hip hop/edm/rock/new music. I love it.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 year agoThe fact that he thinks Zombie Nation is still a thing tells me everything I need to know.

We are lucky to have him. When they allow him to do his thing, the place is electric. He plays at the trap on Saturday nights in EG. I highly suggest checking him out.. I would much rather hear a beat drop from a popular song over a mediocre band. I was so hyped during the Lasalle game when Face blasted Zombie nation. Our entire section was going crazy.

Most nights at the Ryan Center Zombie Nation sucks ass. 98.2% of the crowd is sick of hearing it and 1.8% try to do the chant everyone else does but because it's only 1.8% it's flatter than a plate full of piss.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year agoZombie Nation is awesome and will always be awesome. I've been with plenty of people in EG. Newport, Gansett, Providence etc. At a DJ Face show, losing our minds to that song and others he plays. He has a great mix of old real hip hop/edm/rock/new music. I love it.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 year agoThe fact that he thinks Zombie Nation is still a thing tells me everything I need to know.

This doesn't even get into the fact that anyone that knows music knows that Bro Hymn by Pennywise does everything Zombie Nation does, except faster, louder, and better, came out 15 years earlier, and isn't completely played out

Gotcha. Maybe he can mix it up a bit more.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 year agoMix in some Rock, the classics. Those other genres are fine. I just remember the last game I went to felt like 98% HOUSE.RhodyRams916 wrote: ↑1 year agoWhat other genres do you wanna hear? I feel like the best ones for a college basketball game are rap, edm and pop.Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑1 year ago IMO, too much techno, Id like a more eclectic mix. House at the right moments is great, but mix it up. I also think our band should be making themselves much more present in the building. You can't have college basketball without a pep band.

Re: Ryan Center In-Game Experience - Issues and Upgrades
Also....how about mixing in some electric guitar.?...only the most phenomenal instrument in the history of music, by far. Speaking of which, can you believe this dude is coming to the Courthouse?

Not the RC, but didn't know where else to put this.

I thought the same thing. Looks good except where’s the RI logo.

Oh dear. Without the ram logo, how will anyone look at that bus and know it belongs to URI or that the mascot is the rams? As the bus drives by, people will just be puzzled saying, if only there was a pic of the mascot I'd be able to tell whose bus that is.

Enjoying some PBruins with the family at the AMP, the only sport this place does well, and not only do they have functional WiFi, they have ultra wide band 5G which means I don’t even need the WiFi!

The state spares no expense when it comes to the Providence arena. It burns through cash for that money pit without anyone blinking an eye

Why can't people here just admit PC games are put on very well, are now an event marked on the calendar (like our two tourney years) and they have a tremendous home court advantage these days?
It is a fact while some here like it or not.
