So here's a question about stupid hot games like this.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Overly dramatic = twisting my words and pretending like I said all 40,000 fans in attendance will have to simultaneously huddle in the concourses during designated breaks like cows under a lone patch of trees in a wide-open field.

That's literally what you said though, if people get hot they should just go to the shade during brakes. That's your solution to people getting hot. My exact point is that it's not going to work at scale as a solution; you cant have 40+k people doing that at once, and if 40+k are there you might have 40+k getting uncomfortably hot. It seems we're in agreement that "go find shade" is not a real solution.

And ONCE AGAIN let me point out that A) You completely ignored literally everything in my post and latched onto one small point I made, and 2) THIS IS ABOUT CREATING A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT TO HELP THE TEAM WIN GAMES! Nobody is saying they "deserve" to have a nice experience. What we're saying is that the less fun people have at the games the fewer fans will show up, and the easier it'll be for the visiting team to beat us.

So when you say "If you believe your fandom rides on the fact that you have to attend every game to feel like you support a team, that is on you." you're completely missing the point, and are actually hurting the team's chances to win.

The only way to increase attendance an energy levels is to make it less miserable. Maybe it can't be done at all, but to shut the discussion down entirely because the problem isn't the Universities is not going to help at all. The university is under no obligation to provide concessions either, but we can agree that it'll increase fan pleasure and thus increase turnout and so is a good idea. Why not do the same when it comes to heat?
