Coastal was playing Georgia Southern, and it started at 6:30 pm. Coastal won three sets to zero.
The event overall was a success because the audience seemed respectful and both teams put in
great effort to get a winning result. Also, the advertising before the event was superb. I saw
flyers around campus, and I follow the Coastal Volleyball’s Instagram page and they posted
Entering into the game was very easy and efficient. The game was free to students and
the public, so people were just free to walk in, unless they had a bag to be checked by security.
Even in the past, entering the gymnasium was quick because all students had to do was have
their car swiped and they were allowed in. For those that had tickets had them easily scanned and
Directions to the HTC center were easily accessible for those who needed it. Entering the
HTC center was also very easy because there was an entrance into the gymnasium from all four
entrances. There were also street signs directing fans to the HTC center and even inside there
were directions.
Concessions was located outside two entrances into the gymnasium. The line, even
between sets, moved very fast because the service was efficient. The prices were reasonable for
having no entrance fee to the game. One option that was available was a meal swipe for Coastal
students instead of being forced to use dining dollars. The quality of the food was adequate for
what they offered. The staff was very pleasant and helpful to every customer and treated
holds space to the student gym that various students use to work out during the day. The main
gym, which the game was held in, was very spacious and was handicapped friendly. I loved the
color scheme of the gym, and that the cheerleading team followed the team from each side of the
court. The bathrooms were located right outside two of the entrances and had many stalls inside,
One aspect that I also enjoyed was the opening video that they showed and how they
introduced each player with a short video of them on the jumbotron. This, I feel, helped the
athletes get hyped up for the game and have a sense of being home because they were introduced
IN-GAME EXPERIENCE
One in-game experience that I enjoyed was the “halftime” performance of random
students/kids being given the chance to win a free t-shirt with a serving giveaway. The
contestants would line up behind the serving line and try their best to serve a ball onto a t-shirt
that was located on the other side of the court. It’s fun to watch and fun to participate in. I also
The best element of the game was of course, watching women’s volleyball kick some ass,
but also how they gave away free t shirts to the fans in-between sets and gave away free pizza to
the loudest fan. I also noticed other sports teams were there to cheer on the volleyball team, and I
In my opinion, there was no worst element. Everyone there seemed very kind and
passionate about Coastal volleyball. I did not see one complaint or issue the whole game.
CONCLUSION
Coastal volleyball has a reputation of being one of the best teams here at the University.
For what I saw, I am not surprised. The head coach was very calm and talked with the girl’s
various times to give them pointers or encourage them to do better. The team overall is very
close I can tell. They would have private conversations or hype each other up after a point, and
that made me feel proud to be a Chanticleer because I felt a part of the team by being there and
