Just wanted to start a thread where we can put our thoughts on the GameDay experience/atmoshpere so that it does not take over other threads.
I personally do not think it is as bad as it is being made out to be. Do I think that it can improve 100%! Do I know how to do that no, the only thing that I know is that I can only control what I do. I sit in the lower bowl and I actually think our section is pretty good, it is a combination of every age group from people I have seen for years, to new people for certain games or new for the whole season.
I do agree that the DJ/in game music is just not getting it done. There are classic sporting event songs that can/should be played during time-outs, it doesn't matter if it is something that a certain football team plays, if it keeps the crowd locked in and energized...play it! I understand that there are all sorts of corporate sponsors but do we need something during every time-out, play something or show something that keeps the crowd engaged.
I also understand that nothing gets the crowd more alive than offense so when it is a Big East rock-fight, that definitely plays a role with the crowd engagement but there has to be something that can get the crowd going when the Jays are on defense.
Two final thoughts:
If there are people who tell fans to sit-down, that is just not right, those are definitely the people who are hindering the GameDay atmosphere.
The worst thing that I see are people leaving early, I have no idea why, the traffic is never that bad, maybe 5-10 minutes more if you stay.
Go Jays!
