MCG - WTF

[magpielicious]

Did the extra led signage at the G annoy anyone else? So distracting. Its not likely they will remove it, so why not turn down the brightness during the game. Use the dimmer settings!!

During the Friday night game the electronic signage was noticeably bright. But not sure if it was brighter than usual or just the usual brightness.

Yep. Was really annoying at the start of the game, it actually distracts you from the play.

Main issue: the moving ads. While the game is in play, you don’t need moving graphics.

Secondary issue, they are too bright.

Actually thought this would be talked about more before our game after I copped it Saturday.

signage has been more annoying in general over the last decade at most grounds. None of the grounds or AFL care about fan experience

The G use Robyn only have electronic signage on the fence and first deck, but now it's on every deck which also makes it stand out more..

But agree it's brighter and more "moving" than ever before.

Surprised we haven't seen teams or coaches complain about it distracting yet

All new screens everywhere. They’re super, super bright.

I was there Friday night and the only different thing I noticed was no blaring music and annoying people on microphones during the breaks. And new blue seats in AFL Members.

Don't generally notice it at the game but did on Friday night so they will probably think it is working

Just as annoying was the ads taking over the score for about 20 seconds after a goal is kicked which is the time a lot of people would check the time and score

Im in the US and only watched the highlights.
For me its not so much the moving graphics or the brightness in general, tough they aren't great.
It was the red. When there was a player lining up for goal and that coles ad came on, it literally hurt my eyes. I don't think I would have been able to watch the whole game if thats what I was doing.

Boys club decision making. They're not footballers, they're not business people, they're mates of mates of Demetriou.

They must take alot of energy to run. Can't help in reducing the carbon footprint of stadiums.

They probably aren't allowed to complain
