I volunteer to perform an in-stadium puppet show reenactment any exciting plays immediately following the play's conclusion. If the Section 208 railing is obscured, people within the stadium can livestream it on their phones. ZipsWin! will work the camera. Best I can offer since we apparently opted out of the "fire and theft" clause in our scoreboard insurance policy. If you would like to support the Zips Replay Puppet Show, please bring cereal boxes, paper plates, Elmer's glue and construction paper to Lot 9. Oh, and plastic scissors would be great too. Daniel George was my first attempt (below). They'll get more realistic as time goes on.

Zips move to 3-0. On to Michigan State!

Fees at the gate? Big turn-off for me. As you said, state the price and don't make it feel like you're fleecing me. 'Maintenance' fee, 'Convenience' fee, 'Transaction' fee, 'We appreciate your business!' fee, 'Just-For-Ghits-and-Siggles' fee ... we become what we allow and we've come to accept just about anything.

Game. Zips win 5-1!

I'd rather have actual meaningful bowl games instead of what feels like a hundred games like the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl or TaxAct Camellia Bowl which nobody cares about. Winning a bowl game should mean more than just a random trophy and maybe some shirts. Especially if you're a conference champion with a impressive record. Will a MAC team get an at large consistently? Probably not. But as fans of a MAC team, I see no downside in this unless they decide a MAC team is never allowed to be included regardless of record.

I appreciated the email, as it means they're listening to their customers. If the team had performed better we probably wouldn't have been as aggravated as we were about the poor audio/visual experience. The lackluster play on the field coupled with the awful game day experience really was a deflating double whammy. 😅 On the bright side we won the game, the fireworks were great and I found my e-tickets exceedingly simple and convenient to use. As of now I'm keeping my signature. Still hoping to be able to change it someday soon.

Thanks for late info, but that could have been discussed in the long message the AD sent out a day or two before the game. Maybe it was too much to add to acknowledging the new digital ticket system problems and the lack of new A merchandise? Doesn't really explains all the action I missed on the monitors while standing in line at the concession stand. Not sure what that has to do with a bad scoreboard. Oh well, baby steps I guess. We're obviously suffering from a lack of financial support the past few years.

I was not at the game---can someone give an honest opinion of the number of fans that were there

Most high schools have video scoreboards now a days. And you get stat updates too. InfoCision doesn’t/can’t. It is embarrassing. If there was a fire, why wasn’t that covered by insurance?

I tried the AD promoted site gozips.com/tickets on my phone, tablet, and computer. The site requires registration to buy the tickets. I filled out the form 8 times over 2 days. Same result every time; press "save" and nothing happens. I taught computer applications for 20+ years so I believe I did everything correctly. After the fiasco, I bought tickets at the gate!

I'll be a Luddite and get mine at the gate.

Did anyone notice what I noticed? There's no signature attached to this apology. No one wants to accept responsibility! SO Akron!

A $25 ticket is actually $31. Why not just say the price is $31? We felt like we were being scammed. I guess the AD realized how much money concert ticket sellers make by tacking on as many fees as they can. I would expect buying online would have extra fees, but buying at the gate? We'll watch from home now.

I like Chad Welker I think he does a good job but he's cracking me up pronouncing the Wright State goalie as JIM-en-nez instead of hi(m)-MEN-ez. 😊

I thought the same in person.
