Water station report

What the öööö is a "water bottle filling station?" Can't you just use the sink?

It’s the new fancy water fountain that has a thing where you hold a bottle under it and it fills. Disney has them now too, but they have enough of them and they are spread out so it’s not a problem.

Tech’s problem is that they have these “great” ideas at the top level that end up being enforced by the people in yellow shirts at the gate. These people have little to no training and (at least at other events) are often hired just before the game for that event only, given a shirt, told where to stand, and get paid when they turn the shirt in. That’s how you end up with old ladies being told to throw gum away and refused entry because of their purse.
 
Reading this thread has convinced me that none of you attend any other major events with regularity. Clear bag policy has been the norm in pro sports for several years, it was only a matter of time before it made its way to Tech. On the other hand, disallowing sealed water bottles is asinine in an outdoor stadium.

Nobody gives a öööö what they do in pro sports.
 
However, if you want to bring up the pros, the Falcons have unlimited refills and cheaper concessions

Umm, so it's a sink?

Why are people lining up to use a sink? Just go to the bathroom. They do still have sinks in the bathroom right?

And there is one in the upper north. There will be one for 7,000 in attendance in the UN next game. Stansbury has reached the Peter Principle

I’m not endorsing it. It sounds like typical Tech poor execution in rollout.

Yep. I used to freeze my water overnight and take it in. Stayed cold most of the game then would get a Coke Zero or something later. Now, stand in a long line for lukewarm water. It will be IMPOSSIBLE to use the one refilling station in the upper north for the Clemson game. What does the upper north hold? Maybe 5-7 K? One refilling station? Can anyone at Tech do maths?

Plus, that stupid Burdell's season ticket "discount" stand is one window in the UN for all the ST holders up there. Add in it is the least convenient, most out of the way, window in the area. Furthest walk for me. I have to pass several concession stands if I want to take part in this "benefit" since the others don't honor the discount.

Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps Stansbury may be in over his head? So far, he seems to be going out of his way to alienate regular season ticket holders. Hell, MBob's reign came up with the prior clear bag policy and it was beloved by families

As I mentioned in a thread. Saw a near 80 year old woman denied entrance because she was carrying her purse. Probably been attending games forever and bringing a purse forever. Stansbury shows up and goes down on the GT Police force instead of telling them "our season ticket holders have this benefit, deal with it"

I never had one problem getting into the stadium with the prior bag policy. If you show up 10 minutes before kick, you should expect to miss kickoff. Tough luck buttercup. Get there early.

No need to bring water bottles to the Clemson game. The water lines were bad for Alcorn State, they will be ööööed for Clemson. The Burdell discounts need to be at every normal concession stand, not just an out of the way window.

Stansbury needs to rethink how season ticket holders are treated. Perhaps he just likes hanging with the VIP's and fat cat donors. I'm a long time season ticket holder, but he needs to realize the more of a hassle he makes it in the name of security theater and the less pleasant he makes attending a ball game makes it more likely I just finally say "that's it" and just go camping during the fall.

Stansbury, if you are doing your job, which is questionable, you will rethink your öööö policies and stop treating season ticket holders like we are terrorists.

There’s a happy medium. We aren’t reaching it. I don’t mind the Braves or the basketball games checking bags and stuff.

You would think you could apply for a card that says you are ok and have been vetted. Show the card and move on in without incident or check

Did you get season tickets for a water bottle?

Did you get season tickets for 20% off concessions?

I think probably not to both.

Don’t waste your energy getting upset about ignorable things that you never had before.

Yea but you have to pay a $1k-$10k per seat fee and $85 to park at a game plus $70 per ticket per game including 2 garbage pre season tickets that you can’t give away for free.

Don’t act like $2 hot dogs make falcon games cheap... that’s a ploy to make people happy for forking over $15k for something they never had to pay for before (the right to pay you money for tickets.)

Now clearly Mr Blank is better at this than TStan as his bs idea made some folks think falcons games were a good deal.
 
Seriously, y’all are pissed and offended at the lines? The ööööing instructions are way over the line! I didn’t give a damn before, with the exception of JJ’s old lady, but I’m ööööing irate now!!!! I’m ready to throw a monkey wrench in the front hole dam thing! DAMMIT!
