This was certainly the most energetic the ticket office has ever been. It was pretty busy with fans and these young people were almost sprinting to the back ( walking really fast ) to grab the tickets. They welcomed with a smile, were happy you were there and it was seamless. Parked in the OC lot for free. I have to admit that I haven't walked that path to the Pete as I usually come up from below. I know the campus has changed a lot from the early 90s of my graduation but is really dramatic in a great way. Just Wow !
There were a lot of season ticket holders and more than I ever remember. The one thing that seemed different was the pep in everyone's step including myself. If my unscientific observation is correct, people are genuinely excited. Walking around the main entrance to the Pete, the Jumbo Tron played highlights from last year and it looked like a National Championship package. Almost all offense and a few defensive highlights. That about sums up what's missing.
Bought a few new items with the new script. Plenty of selection and great quality Nike stuff. The staff at the store was eager to say that a few things I was looking for with the new script are in the pipeline. They said to check the website daily as they expect a lot of new stuff soon. They also had an extra register outside the store and table in front of ticket windows with laptops to make it flow quickly.
There is certainly more of a genuine buzz without the apprehension of previous years. I'm glad I stopped by.
