Quote:That's great until it doesn't work...

Yeah...you're probably right.

Quote:We'd have to have only night games! Everyone knows that the day shift strippers aren't starting lineup material! :woot:

 

Well then they would match up well with some of the Jags players right now wouldn't they?

Quote:Daytime strippers are ALWAYS uglier than the nighttime one. Jeez. Everyone knows that.

That's why happy hour and liquid luncheons were invented.

Better than watching the team play.

I think it is freaking awesome.  Is this post a joke?  

Quote:This makes me sad for the game experience. This is not what going to a football game is about. I don't have kids (just not my thing) but I wouldn't want to have to wade through all of that getting into the stadium with an impressionable kid in tow and trying to explain to them what that's all about. 

 

I guess this is what happens when you're desperate to get people in the Bank on gameday. By any means necessary. I guess in a way Shad is a genius if this is his idea of getting people in the stadium, regardless of why they're there. But this is not fan building. Not by a long shot.

 

It just doesn't sit well with me as a football fan who, if I still lived there, would be at every game. For the game. 

 

But, to each their own. 

 

You don't wade through that getting into the stadium.  It helps if you actually know what you are talking about.

Quote:I wouldn't care if the dancers were Chippendales, I go to games to watch football. I guess it's never occured to me that people would go for any other reason. If I want to see chicks dancing I'd go to Whacko's. But that's just me. 

 

Okay, and some people go for other reasons.  If you don't want to see dancers and be at a miami club inspired area, then don't go to the North Endzone.  No one is forcing people to go up there.  If you just want to focus on the game then do so.  Don't rain on other people's parade if they feel differently then you do.

And two more letters to the editor in the paper today. Wow, with all the crap going on in this city people sure do focus on some odd things. So which dies down first, The Bank is nothing but a strip club or Towelgate? I say Towelgate as you know we are just another camera click away from some crazy time pic of inappropriate behavior at the strip joint. Then they will get all fired up again.

Quote:Something tells me you never bought tickets anyway. Another thing tells me you're probably a few decades away from the last time anyone could still call you a girl. 

 

 

SNAP!

The TU would be moronic to even reply/print the letters.  Then again, they're so desperate for business they'll cling to any story.

That's the problem.  The team should really be the primary focus on game day. 

 

I came across an interesting read today, and it's written by one of the hosts of Helmet & Heels on 1010XL.

Still exaggerating the amount of Steelers fans, but the rest was more or less on point.

The main audience for NFL games is not really kids.  It's men aged 18 to 40.  It's also a very violent game.  You're surrounded by drunks yelling obscenities and getting into fights.  Heck, you get this atmosphere just going to a bar and watching the game there.  When I went to one, some guys were there yelling and swearing like idiots.  One of them had has wife and kids there, haha.  Yeah...its not really an environment aimed at kids.

Yeah, NFL games are definitely not for the poor people affected by that nasty virus going around called wussyphalis.. It's a pretty deadly outbreak in this country.. Better go get checked..

Just expressing my opinion like everyone else. Not trying to rain on anything.

There are lots of views on this topic obviously and I know that no one ever expected all of it to go over smoothly with everyone.  I'm sure a fair portion of my extended family in Jacksonville would guffaw at scantily clad ladies dancing about on pedestals in front of pool cabanas - despite the cheerleaders doing essentially the same thing on the sidelines.  (We are all - even the most conservative among us  - conditioned to expect cheerleaders at football games) 

 

FWIW - I read an article linked in another thread in which someone affiliated with the clevelander stated that they were in an "evaluation process" and that they would "tone it down" if need be. 

 

I'm sure some semblance of happy middle ground van be found, but of course you can never please everyone. 

 

I could see myself wandering into the Clevelander area at the end of a not so close game and hanging out for a few afterward while the parking lot thins.  I've "been there and done that" a bit too much to give a hoot about whether scantily clad go-go dancers are there or not. But I can dig the aesthetic.

Love how the thread was started and then she ran away. Guess she realized she was barking up the wrong pole.

The casual fan won't care until the team starts winning. In the mean time, I think I see it as the casual fan having something to distract them until that day comes and also cushions the blow from bad team attendance attrition. I don't think it's taking much away from the true fans who went to the game to see the team.

 

Then again you guys definitely have more of a reading on what the gameday experience is like than I.

Hard to have an opinion when part of what you said was inaccurate.

I think the organization has shown that they are more than willing to be reasonable with the changes they're making.  They don't want to alienate a huge chunk of their fan base.
