Family weekend at NAU brought in tons of family and friends. We had an opportunity to do some pre-gaming at the Skydome stadium. Outside parking, staging, and even being able to see the band was great. Upon entering, a quick personal scan of people and clear bag guidelines were listed...however, we did see people without clear bags and most importantly, finding our seats was easy.
Inside the dome, the temperature was as expected. This NAU football game was played in early September, so it was a bit warm inside, but not too hot. Our seats offered a perfect view of the game. The only downfall was the audio system that they were using, based on our seat location, sounded HORRIBLE!!! When I think back, we didn't understand any part of what the announcers were saying. If you weren't watching the game and missed something, you really weren't gonna hear it on the audio and rarely did you see much of it on the video replay.
Getting snacks and alcohol inside was no issue, and the lines weren't too bad. Staff & students were very helpful. Definitely looking forward to returning back for another game. This time I'm sitting on the students' side, hoping to hear more of the audio. read more
