Week 3

This week I continued to work on my proposal for each of my events, but the main thing I did was shadow Morgan for the Thorns game. In addition to her role as an organizer for fan events and promotions, she is in charge of everything that goes on the LED boards, is advertised, and shared at games. From the PA announcer, to communicating who is subbing, to choosing which replay to show, she has to deal with a lot of moving parts during games. 


I got to the stadium at 5:30 – 2 hours before kickoff – and walked around the stadium to see behind the scenes. There are a lot of people working to communicate and make sure things run smoothly. I wore a headset during the game and there were at least 5 other people on the headset in different roles who helped to ensure the video board, sound, and stats were correct. It was interesting to see things before any fans were in the stadium and slowly how things ramped up.
