Ford Stadium entry right before Liberty kickoff?

[Grant Carter]

I arrived plenty early and missed kick off.

Huh

... have someone outside of Loyd or at Gate 3 encouraging people to go to Gates 1 and 4 (if they're in use) for faster entry.

Someone? All of the SMU affiliated personnel/interns are aimlessly circling the concourse looking down at their phones and adjusting their headsets. Engaged? Aware? Concerned? Helpful? Hardly. You've got a better chance of getting assistance from one of the yellow-shirted rent-a-body hourlies.

I walked in 3.

But I think this has all just become trivial. I just learned that Brad and Angelina are divorcing.

Disturbing (and deplorable)

[Stallion]

...think of the children

[mrydel]

With visitation issues they probably will miss kickoff

[Stallion]

yeah especially after sitting in the heat of the Boulevard for 2 hours. (I mean the Boulevard must be a hundred or so steps from Ford Stadium)

Thanks Delkus!

May never be practical to require a game ticket to enter the boulevard (but for certain games we should consider it), but why not try hawking tickets out there? Hire a few people to walk around the boulevard with those mobile credit card machines and ask people if they have their tickets. Make it easy for people. Easiest target market you could possibly reach. Without big time football, there is no boulevard. And without game attendance, there is no big time football. Eventually someone may realize this and kick up the effort and pressure to get peeps into the stadium.

Good idea and it's actually been discussed somewhat often. Kiosks even. As well as Boulevard ambassadors, like you see at DFW airport to give directions, foster a welcome atmosphere etc

[Hoop Fan]

Kiosks would be a start but really need the human element. Make people say in front of their friends that they are there for free food and are too damn cheap and lazy to buy a 15 dollar game ticket to benefit smu. Hire hot girls that guys can't say no to and do face to face sales.

Have them mention they should go to the stadium 25 minutes before kickoff.
