Anybody know Mavis from Chicopee? Hit her up for a few mill, we can even name the new stadium after her.
Guess you did not watch AD Ryan Bamford's Q & A on face book. This was mentioned.

Was anyone else as underwhelmed by the Commonwealth Club as I was? I don't think I'll be going there again.

I didn’t do much more than poke my head in to the Commonwealth Club. I didn’t really notice any of the paving that Bamford mentioned either.

Thought the club was efficient, especially if we decide to not to tailgate. Were headed there at halftime ........might be a nice addition given the quick turnaround

Commonwealth club seemed okay if one NEEDS a drink and and forgot to bring their own. The food was no better than was available under the stands. The tent the Alumni Association had for many years featured a different and interesting buffet every game. I think I'll go back to traditional tailgating as it will be less expensive and the food will be better.
I noticed a lot of additional pavement at the south end of the stadium (between the field and the visitor's locker room). I liked it; it seemed to keep the dust down a bit as most people were taking the paved routes to the restrooms and parking lots.

Based on the performance of the team in the last two games, I think all money should go to paying for a really good head coach and assistants as well as for recruiting costs. Right now it seems that putting money into a decrepit stadium is a waste of money. The team needs to get good-fast.

Much agreed on this point. A winner team can cover for a bad stadium. With winning comes money and with money can come a better stadium and deeper program.

I went to the first game in 1965 and they had wooden seats then and I git a sliver. Since then I ALWAYS took a blanket to sit on and actually I had 3 blankets in the bunch. Came in handy for the wooden seats at Lebanon Valley Speedway to cover up a bit early in the season, April and May, when we would have some cool nights.

Good to know, Berky.
I’ll remember to bring blankets so I don’t get tetanus when I go to the Spring game.
