Nice thing about this year is, for a change, there's zero reason to fester about these clowns.

We have the team, clearly, to show them on the field. There will be nowhere to hide this time.

I taught skiing a few times... in high school and again 15+ years later.
The parents my age were insufferable... if I didn't pass little Jimmy or Mary to the next level, never mind they were screwing around in class, not paying attention... it was somehow my fault.
My being a professional, with decades of experience meant exactly nothing.
Took the joy out of the gig.

Harmless in and of itself, but also a waste of time and money. That's money that could have been spent on something useful for the football program, or even one of the nonrevenue sports.

Disagree, this could be fantastic for families like ours that have a special needs son. We don't always know how he's going to handle certain situations until we get to the moment. He doesn't get bothered in Sports bars, but he couldn't handle Chuck E Cheese the first time. Thought he was going to have a meltdown going horseback riding, turned out he LOVED it. He genuinely loves football games too, but he's only been to high school games. That's why we still try new things, the joy on his face when something hits is magical, but when it's not a fit we need somewhere to retreat to. I'd like to go to more games, but it isn't always feasible for us. An area like this would make it easier if he does get overwhelmed.

It's wild that in 2026 this needs to be explained to people. I hope your son enjoys the game and you don't need it, but I am glad it is there for people who find they do.

Thanks. I'm not sure if we'll get to a game this year because of PeeWee football for my youngest son, but next year I think our Saturdays open up. My daughter has been to a game, loved it, same for my youngest son. My wife has been to a few games, but not since any of the kids were born. I want to get the whole family together for one, including Landon who has never been to a game. This sensory room could be key to making that happen, it would suck to spend $500+ on tickets only to find out my middle child can't handle it and we have to leave before the first series is over. This new room could allow just me and Landon to retreat and continue watching while the other 3 enjoy the game.

I feel for ya. I only teach adult private lessons now because of that.

If you ever want to go back to it, just get your PSIA certs and tell the mountain what you want to teach up front. They're usually receptive in my experience.
