Watched the last half of Angels in America last night. Average in my opinion. The acting was awesome but the plot became strained and meandering. Too bad, it could have been a very good movie.
After the movie, switched over to basketball. NCSU won last night at Boston College. This was BC’s very first men’s ACC home conference game.
The BC home crowd was very quiet and didn’t seem involved in the game. It appears as though BC puts the donors near the court and the students away from the court.
Listen up BC big $ daddies – you gotta give up courtside and let the students sit there and in the immediate end zones. The kids make the noise and get your team fired up. Even though you donate the money, you have to let the kids sit next to the floor to cheer on your team and to harass the opponent.
That’s the way it’s done in the ACC.
Yes, you spend money to help recruit the team and to provide a great place to play and you want good seats in return. But, having the students provide the noise and excitement is just as important. Seriously – it really is important and effective to have your college rug rats courtside.
I’ve been a member of the Wolfpack Club for over 20 years; buy season tickets every year; early contributor to get our new Arena built; got my name on the wall plaque in the main lobby; and my seats are in the lowest level close to the home bench. But – the students sit in front of me! Same thing at football – club seats – with students sitting in front!
That’s the way it’s gotta be. You have to get the kids and their excitement courtside. It will make a difference. Trust me on this.
Welcome to the ACC; best of luck - especially against Carolina.
