Most annoying things to me are (1) the piped in music and (2) the train horn. Half the time it's drowning out the cannon.
How would you improve the Rutgers game day experience?

1) Win
2) Turn down the volume or at least don’t have it at max volume.
3) If you’re playing music PA, try not to play every single song and sound effect between plays every time. Not only you’ll develop tinnitus, and sore throats from talking loud all game long, some people be disjointed from all the different sounds hitting you at once.
4)Let the band play. This is not Citi Field, an NBA Game, or Arena Football. You don’t hear Penn State, Ohio State, most SEC stadiums play the same stupid songs every 30 minutes.

Good idea, though would consider dumping the black tank on the CE board cronies.
You were not supposed to walk back along the service road.
They have announced the bus will let you out at 53A so your problem is solved.
Sorry, but get rid of the complainers that need to bitch about anything they can find at football or basketball games---they can watch on TV. Especially those that really do nothing ($) to support RU. Face it ,there's always things that make our lives a little bit miserable.
WE NEED THE RETURN OF THE SALE OF GAMEDAY PROGRAMS !!!
THIS WAS SORELY MISSED LAST YEAR..... READING ROSTERS AND
TWO-DEEP INFO ON A PHONE DURING THE GAME IS ALMOST USELESS.
1. Streamline the entrance procedures -- currently you wait in one line for security pat-down/bag check and then get your ticket scanned and it's all a 1:1 fan/employee ratio. Bag check/security check takes longer, so increase the number of those, and then funnel it down to the ticket takers since that is a quicker process. If there's 10 people to scan tickets, don't have 10 lines for security check, have 20 people checking security that way there is a more consistent flow.
2. Streamline concessions in two ways:
A. in-seat ordering. This helps alleviate some issues and would allow fans to get food/drinks without having to miss long periods of the games. It doesn't need to be delivered to seats and it doesn't even have to be all locations/all food + drink products, but if you can provide the basics at a few stands and have a dedicated pickup window, it'll ease the regular concession lines.
B. set the concession stands in more of a 'grab and go' way. This will take a bit of creativity with the layout of the stands, but if you ideally make the counter where the registers are now more of a grab and go situation that funnels to a few POS registers that are out in the concourse area, you can set-up a quicker process for fans and a less hectic/stressful process for the workers.
3. More marching band music -- there's a wide age range of fans coming to games, and I'm not saying to get rid of all of the piped in music entirely, but there's not enough of a focus on the marching band during the games -- and that's coming from a younger person.

Yes, the music stuff is a distraction. And cut the train whistle. We have a canon for goodness sake. I think a special platform needs to be erected for the canon.
I had a conversation with a person in the Rutgers gameday experience office. They told me they will be making an announcement regarding the bussing issue. The other issue I brought up with him is the concessions. I emphasized they should team up with local restaurants and have them run a concession stand for the game or several games. The restaurant should be "rented" the space and should be in charge of service, food and ability to turn a profit. At the very minimum they should experiment with this concept. They should have a split between regular gameday fare(hamburgers, hotdogs, pretzels, popcorn, etc. and higher end options run by local restaurants. The split should be 60/40 regular gameday fare to higher end options. This ratio can change based on demand.
They'll need to install ATM's so that fans like Mr. TV can get plenty of singles.
To be serious on that (ATMs - not the other stuff lol), wouldn’t be surprised if we go totally cashless at some point.🤷♂️
I mean what could possibly go wrong with the cannon idea?
Been to Morgantown for many RU games. But never actually witnessed a burn. I feel a little cheated.
Burning down the Couch
An interesting response to crack down
That's the Steve Martin hostages bit. You always have to throw one request out there that's so crazy the others seem more reasonable.
I agreel, all we see is the backs of the band and cannot hear the music.
Add to that the fact that they failed to arrange for the shuttle to take people to the stadium and back to the lot. There was over an hour's wait for the Knightengale service to take people back to the lot.
Take the control away from whoever is pressing the button for train horn!
Establish a traditional walkout entrance song. That would get fannies in seats to greet the team. See Virginia Tech
