They are so clueless.....so many things like running radio ads for season tickets when there is one or two games left or actually I heard one AFTER the regular season ended.

I took the survey, and took the time to express my distaste for the current AD. Maybe if they see enough of the surveys are about how terrible our current AD is, MAYBE they'll get the hint. Wishful thinking (shoulder shrugs)

I took the survey, and took the time to express my distaste for the current AD. So did I. I supplemented that with some constructive suggestions.

I took the survey and was brutally honest. I did as well. In my opinion, the problems were there long before Mone and Braun, but both have done nothing to stop them. There appears to be no coherent strategy or vision for this athletic department since Zimpher left. We don't have any plans to grow the fan base, increase ticket sales and revenue with our only revenue generating sport, or fundraise. The university seems to be fine with the department functioning at a low major level. Fortunately we had a coach that could overcome those deficiencies for a short time. To make matters worse, we are one of the highest spending teams in the conference, but have little to show for it. Why do we buy naming rights to the arena or pay the head coach over $500K per year if we're satisfied being a low-level program? Something needs to change. We need a Shalala/Richter type move, but I fear that won't happen because everyone in power seems comfortable with the status quo collecting their overpaid government checks. What's the plan?!?

What did some put done for bag check-in, ushers, food and such? 1. Bag check/security is painfully slow. Way worse than Miller Park or the Bradley Center. 2. Ushers are nice/helpful enough for the most part. 3. Concessions are a joke. The building feels like a prison with all of the newly remolded concessions closed/locked up. 4. Beer/food specials have been a nice addition over the past couple of years. 5. Baseline bar underneath the concourse has been a great addition.

Lifting your shirt to see if you have a weapon is degrading! As someone who has an Admirals mini plan. Goes to Roller Derby, this process is not even done at UWM Panther Arena. Buy a wand. It's $130 on Amazon. The concession are GREAT when they are open. Saz's, Cedar Crest, Southwestern Taco Grill are always closed for Panther games! These stands are outstanding for Admirals/Wave games.

WHY aren't any of those concession stands open during our games anyway?
