Rutgers Game Day Enhancements

Linked from scarletknights.com
Click on the above image to find out about some of the exciting new things that Rutgers has added to enhance the football game-day experience. Last year, I noticed some new things taking shape over the course of the season. But this year, it seems the new blood in the athletic department has really taken the game-day experience up a notch. Here's some of the new things that stand out to me.

"Rutgers Gameday" app
There will be a new downloadable app that will give fans information and statistics for all 24 of Rutgers' main campus sports teams. Users can sign up for push notifications and receive discounts. Can't wait to see how this looks.

Video Board at Practice Complex
The video screen at the Marco Battaglia Practice Complex will broadcast pregame shows and other information related to the game.

Food Trucks Along Scarlet Knight Way
The long walk from some of the parking lots and bus drop-off to the stadium will be alleviated with some more dining options along Scarlet Knight Way. The RU Hungry food truck will be there, but so will other trucks offering a array of options.

Fanzone on Southeast Concourse
Kids of all ages will enjoy face painting and other activities.

Upgraded Sound System
Always great to be able to hear if you won the 50/50.

Mist Machines
There will be two mist machines to help fans cool off on hot days. These will both be on the lower tier, but won't be far from the ramps, so upper-deck fans should still be able to run down for a quick spritz and get back in time for the start of the next quarter.

Rutgers vs. Nebraska Preview: September 23, 2017

Image
The Scarlet Knights take on the Cornhuskers today in Lincoln , Nebraska , in what is the Big Ten opener for both teams. A few hours before game time, Nebraska is an 11 point favorite over visiting Rutgers . In many ways the Cornhuskers season has mirrored that of the Scarlet Knights. Both teams are 1-2, with Nebraska having won a close opener vs. Arkansas State and then having dropped two close games to Oregon and Northern Illinois . Unaccustomed to a 1-2 start, Nebraska fans are calling for the head of Coach Mike Riley, and the school's athletic director was shown the door yesterday. The Rutgers coaches, in their media appearances this week, stressed the importance of continued improvement. Last week's 65-0 blowout victory over Morgan State allowed the Scarlet Knights to send 71 players out to see some action, especially many true and redshirt freshmen who logged their first bits of playing time. Obviously, the most impressive of the freshmen was quarterbac...

Rutgers Media Day Ash Press Conference Highlights

Image
On Sunday, Rutgers head football coach Chris Ash took the podium for his Rutgers Media Day press conference. In what was roughly a twenty-minute update and chat with the media, he covered quite a bit of ground, shedding some light on some new faces that are making an impact, slight changes in look and strategy, and giving an updated timetable on the quarterback decision. On the overall vibe of training camp, Ash feels its been "very productive" and that Rutgers has "improved in all areas of our football team." As importantly, the "overall health is good," in the sense that there haven't been any additional significant injuries in the past week. If the team hadn't improved in all areas something would truly be amiss, so that's expected. I'm stoked to hear that the overall health of the team is good, as that could a big factor in determining the outcome of some of the competitive, but winnable games Rutgers has scheduled earl...
