COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech basketball fans have
spoken, providing feedback on Golden Eagle home games via a recent
fan experience survey, and the results will bring about some
exciting changes at games in Eblen Center during the upcoming
2014-15 season.
In addition to the huge, new video board providing a wide
variety of entertainment high above the arena floor, the most
visible change will be an earlier starting time for some games as
well as a schedule that features eight doubleheaders.
“We received really good feedback in our survey, and we took
all of that information into consideration when making plans for
this next season of Golden Eagle basketball,” said Mark
Wilson, Director of Athletics.
“Something fans really asked for was doubleheaders, and
fortunately, In conjunction with the new OVC schedule, we were able
to move some Wednesday games to Thursday so that we now have eight
nights with doubleheaders,” Wilson said. “The general
consensus from the survey was that fans wanted a little earlier
starting time, so our single games on weeknights will tip off at 6
p.m., an hour earlier than in the past,” Wilson said.
“We want to let our fans know how much we appreciate them,
and also how much we appreciate their feedback,” Wilson said.
“We think this will lead to an even better fan experience at
Golden Eagle basketball games in Eblen Center.”
All of Tech’s doubleheaders will feature a 5:30 p.m. start
for the women’s game and a 7:30 p.m. tip time for the
men’s game. All single games will begin at 6 p.m., and Sunday
games will start at 2 p.m.
In addition, Tech Athletics has worked with Chartwell’s to
bring about several concessions stand menu enhancements, including
several healthier choices.
Above all, fans will enjoy a brand new video board and digital
scoreboard that will not only provide highlights and replays but
will also feature fan engagement and entertainment.
“Tennessee Tech Athletics really cares about our fans and we
hope they will be excited about these new elements to enhance our
game day experience,” said Leveda Dexter, Director of
Corporate Sales and Marketing.

Eagle home basketball schedule are on sale, with a variety of
