"Thanks for your interest in our football program, and thanks to you and everyone at Bobcat Nation for your enthusiasm. We appreciate those that support our program untiringly, and know that our fans at Bobcat Nation are so excited about the upcoming season.
We appreciate your positive feelings toward the improvements we've implemented in the last few years, and welcome constructive input. We also appreciate our loyal, vociferous fans that are making Bobcat Stadium a tremendous place to spend a football Saturday. We have implemented for this fall, or are considering implementing in the future, several upgrades we feel fans will enjoy.
* We have hired a cheer advisor, and after a one-year absence our cheerleaders return as part of the spirit squad this fall, and with the University's Alumni Association we have purchased a new mascot uniform.
* We continue to improve Bobcat Stadium's game-day atmosphere, including providing play-by-play audio in our concessions areas, enhanced information scores and statistics over the public address, adding a clock to alert tailgaters the game is about to start, which may not be possible this fall, and streamlining the content of our public address announcements.
* Increased use of replays, as well as promotional and informational videos, on the big screen.
Our mindset in the past few years has been more evolution than revolution. We implement changes that fit our style, entertain our fans, and shed a positive light on our student-athletes. That process will continue. We have bands lined up for each home game near Bobcat Boulevard, and we continue to explore other tailgate-related activities.
We continue to work toward our long-term goal of seriously upgrading our facility, and toward that end we are in the early stages of a significant capital campaign. Many of the major issues on our fans' minds lie in this area, such as speaker, scoreboard and video upgrades in the stadium, and the possible addition of lights and new SkySuites.
Obviously, there are issues that will never be resolved. For instance, our fans will never completely agree on the music selection, and it's highly unlikely that we will sell beer inside our stadium. But we make positive changes every year, and we hope you continue to enjoy excitement of Bobcat Football."
I'm glad they realized that the no cheerleader policy was a horrendous failure. And now you guys can't pick on our mascot anymore! Well I can't say that for sure but I don't see how it could possibly be any worse.
