Game Day at the BC

[ShootinOutWallsofHeartach]

The problem is Milwaukee doesn't have a skyline...

Or, by Cincinnati Skyline, do they mean the chili there?

Just had an epiphany as to some great advertising for the group trying to Save the Warthog. How about a naming rights deal with the Atlantic10 Conference Tourney? Would work even better if the BigEast grabs Dayton/SLU.....SAVE THE A-10...WARTHOGsFOREVER!!. TANKS FOR NUTHIN myopic govt bureaucrats:(

Could someone answer this for me...."Was it a dream, or did not MU have a Duke-style artist rendering logo of Marquette Hall  somewhere on the Bradley Center floor??? My time frame guesses it was early-Crean era??? Given Wojo's pedigree and his cool Twitter pic affinity for Gothic steeples of assymetric length, couldn't he be convinced that MarquetteHall on the Court would be the perfect complement?!!

Never on the court, but they had Marquette Hall in the pattern on the back of the jerseys.

I recall several years ago after Wake Forest played here they thought the game day experience was so good they sent folks up here for pointers and copied a lot of it for their games at the Joel.

IOW, I think the game day experience is fine except those damn parachute drops of crappy shirts never fall near our seats.

It is true that Wake came off impressed but that was 13 years ago.

13 years is akin to an eon when it comes to in-game entertainment options/philosophy, especially since technology has made the viewing experience at home a much more enjoyable option than being in the building.

So I know it was previously discussed in this thread about possibly bringing a more "soccer-style" atmosphere to the student section.  And there are definitely some reasonable thoughts that this may not be possible at a basketball game due to the nature of play (faster paced, back and forth scoring, stoppages of play, etc.).

However, I think there is one thing the student section could borrow from the soccer supporters sections that would be cool at the Bradley Center, the use of tifos.

Here are some links to tifos used at MLS games this year:

Seattle Sounders


Quakes home opener


Portland Timbers fans this past weekend


NYCFC fans mocking the Red Bulls fans for being from Jersey when they claim New York

That would be awesome. Honestly all I think it would take is people pooling the money together to get a giant sign/flag made. The students would roll that crap out no problem! Look at all the other stuff they love! Give them a giant cardboard head and they are happy for hours! Give them a giant flag for the games, it would become a tradition to pull that out at the first time-out of each half.

That's great.

By the way, I believe instead of going away from the band, Marquette should look for some way to expand it and it's repertoire. A college game and a band go hand in hand.

I always thought it could be cool to move the band to the top of the lower bowl; that section right under the suites. They would probably blow out some student eardrums, playing over the top of them, but that would free up their previous section for the standard student attendees and provide some additional continuity to the look of the section.

They can't.................that section is now reserved for the media.

Ahem, not to toot my own horn but I brought up that idea at the meeting. Wojo liked it, we'll see.

Which ideaa? The flags? The band?

The first school to incorporate a tifo would be a true hoops trendsetter.

Bumping this since the season is approaching.

Any current students on scoop? I'd like to hear what they think. I know some of the older guys don't like this idea but if the students buy in I think we could create an unbelievable atmosphere for our games.

The big banner idea was brought up at the end of last year with the meeting with Wojo. That was one of the few ideas that Wojo outright said that he loved. I really like it too, of you get a banner going from the upper levels to the bottom.

I was in Nebraska for the Northwestern game this past weekend and the Nebraska student center did something like that and it looked awesome.

I think that would be really cool. You could make them opponent-specific or about Al or about the student section or about Wojo or about the seniors (most years) or about Milwaukee or about...
