Robins Center experience

fully agreed about the lack of entertaining halftime entertainment ...

Also still believe with the East Entrance closed this year (i.e. from the bridge area near old X lot) for I think both students and non-students, think for heavy attendance games, there will be a real backlog of folks waiting to get through the metal detectors.

This is going to be an issue on games with more than 3000 fans. Not sure why the East Entrance (which is also the student entrance) is now closed by the line to get in at the front entrance is unnecessarily long now.

Agree with what other have said. No ball blaster or t-shirt cannon, chick fil-a parachutes. These are really simple things that enhance fan experience and they are gone for some inexplicit reason.

Lastly, I am really glad someone mentioned the lighting. I thought it was just my section/seat, but there is a light that literally shines directly in my eyes during pregame and at other times. It is absurdly bright.

One would think that they would both sound and light test the arena by sitting in seats throughout the arena.
 
Agreed with everyone that they've really seemed to pair down the entertainment aspect of the games. I also noticed they got rid of the DJ that sat in the student section. Not saying the DJ was a huge factor in the gameday experience but it further shows the deemphasis on the fan experience. For a relatively inexpensive amount, they could get a few students campus jobs as athletics ambassadors who help with student attendance, game experience including halftime activities, music pregame and during timeouts and some good promotions.

Tried to ask and staff seemed not to know but I assume at least somewhat related to the new metal detectors that started last year and to have fewer overall entranced but really makes it a longer walk from normal places I park.

Is east entrance closed when no athletic event is happening?
 
To be fair, Oakland has played exactly two home games, one against NAIA Defiance and one against NET 288 IPFW.

The scheduling aggressively is generally taking place on the road, and it's given them the second-toughest OOC schedule in the country according to NET.
