RE: (S31) Ultimus Week - JayWhy75 - 10-18-2021

Quote:6. Write 800 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 800 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something.


So here's the deal, I have a couple of things that I just don't understand when it comes to sim leagues at times. The way I'll start it out, possibly the most frustrating part of any league is the obsession with parity. That is because ultimately there just isn't a way to enforce it.

What I'll give to those who are supporters of parity, and who seek out parity, is that the ISFL really has it together it seems. I mean, it's a two win difference between second place and sixth place in the NSFC this sason. It's similarly a three win difference between the same spots in the ASFC. While it can make for a more exciting time watching the sims go down live, as realistically anything can happen, all it does is lead to a frustrating time with weekly prediction tasks and a situation where ultimately the top tier is untouchable and everyone else is just at a level of poor that makes them all about the same.

Just look at it in this league, Colorado is probably more touchable in the NSFC, as between Sarasota and Chicago, they have competitors who are close to them in record. Colorado should honestly be a bit nervous, as they have a slightly worse home record and now are stuck playing in their home stadium entirely. Sarasota has a great home team and a rough road team, and Chicago is opposite as an amazing road team that really struggled at home somehow. Colorado needs to be hoping for Sarasota to make it through.

However, on the ASFC side, there really isn't anything to wait for. Arizona and Honolulu are basically identical teams in a lot of ways. They both do slightly better on the road, but are just nothing worthwhile. Austin is a dominant team who has only lost to the New York Silverbacks in the ASFC, which is a team that didn't even make it to the playoffs. That's the thing, while the ASFC looks like a league with a ton of parity, it's that there's a lot of bad teams in the middle ground and one team that is at the absolute top. It doesn't make for that much excitement. You have some frustration, but the excitement wears off when you look at it more in depth and understand that there is one actually superior team above the rest and just no other way to put it.

I love the idea of parity, it just doesn't show you the same as you hope for. The NSFC is probably what you hope for the most out of it, as teams like Berlin and Chicago can be great depending on where they play. However, there still just isn't much of a hope there for the middle teams and the ASFC is just set up to watch Austin cruise to an Ultimus victory.

Beyond that, I'm going to toot my own horn a bit and highlight something a bit odd to me based on something that I've done a lot here. Scouting. I do a ton of scouting, never for my team or anything, but just to complete media basically. I am always searching through and trying to get things together for a massive media piece every off-season. And what I've come to understand is that I just see things differently than others.

To give an idea of what I see as differences here is partially a big gut feeling thing. I don't like to take people at face value much. I know that isn't the nicest way to be, and isn't the right way to view things, but I think of that as a part of why you could see that parity that has developed in this league. People are more likely to accept people, and with the requirement that everbody must be drafted, you see teams kind of having to work around more difficult personalities and potentially struggle with that.

When I say I don't take things at face value, I mean that as things like TPE earning. I keep an eye on people getting online, on the site, and being involved in things. If you're not on the site, you're not able to earn TPE, and it doesn't take a lot of time on the site to be able to do that. However, people get an eye on people who are currently earning and don't look to how often they're actually online and working for that TPE. Is this somebody that is around often? Are they completing tasks the day before they're due, or are they getting done with time to spare?

Here's why I focus more intently on that, as well as some other obvious parts. Everybody has a bad day, or a bad week. Everybody has life come up at some point. Careers last for years potentially -- this is where my lack of ISFL knowledge lands me in a bit of an awkward spot -- and in those years, you're never going to have a situation that just makes everything perfect. You're going to land in spots where life just isn't cohesive with sim leagues. If somebody is in multiple leagues, is working in major roles, and isn't really consistent in money earning and getting things done early on, this is somebody that you have a lot of risk on that looks really good. There's a lot of fool's gold in these leagues, and all it takes is one bad weekend for some of these people to fall off the wagon and suddenly land well behind the pack.

This is unfortunate, but it's a fact of life in these kinds of leagues. This is a difficult world, and there is a lot that you can sell yourself on. It's important that you understand that you aren't selling yourself and are instead being sold by the true value of the individual. I see a lot of people jumping on that fool's gold, and that can be a big factor in the parity of the league. I know it's difficult to know when drafting someone what they give you, but this is what a general manager signs up for and they have to be able to know that this is the best possible option.

RE: (S31) Ultimus Week - TubaDeus - 10-18-2021

10) August 12th, 2026. Homewood, Illinois. That was the day and place Ms. Deanna Arnold was admitted to the hospital for the birth of her child. Technically the child had been due on her own birthday 4 days earlier, but, much like later in his life, the child clearly did not want to be overshadowed. Little Daron was born, a child with mocha colored skin and flame red hair, courtesy of his estranged Irish father who he would never meet. The young mother balanced several part time jobs for the first 8 years of Daron's life, doing her best to ensure her boy would not grow up homeless. Times were rough, but the pair got by.

Their change in fortune came entirely by chance. While working as a bartender, Deanna ran into a travelling businessman. He had only spent a couple days in town and was due to spend most of the next month hanging around for one meeting or another. The two immediately hit it off. The businessman was one Mr. Donald, a widowed native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When the time came for him to head back home, he invited Deanna and Daron to join him. With nothing of note keeping the pair in the Chicago area, Deanna gladly accepted.

And so young Daron was uprooted and met his future step brother, Aaron Donald. The pair were very close in age and interests, which kindled a very close relationship between the two. They would always push each other to strive for more, and both were talented and driven enough to achieve most of what they wanted. Unfortunately for Daron, Aaron was just a bit better every step of the way. Where Daron would bench 180 at age 14, Aaron was benching 200. When Daron clocked a 4.9 second 40-yard dash, Aaron ran it in 4.8. And when Daron was awarded a two-star recruit rating, Aaron was rated at three stars. Daron was relegated to the role of red-headed step child. Literally.

Though Daron's support for his adopted brother never waivered, he still wanted to achieve success in his own right. So when Aaron committed to Pittsburgh, Daron decided to head back to his home state and attend the University of Illinois. Initially he struggled to find playing time against the upperclassman. However, he had developed a strong work ethic in his eternal competition with his step brother, and through hard work he steadily improved and earned additional reps. Finally, he achieved his big break as a junior, earning well-deserved second-team All-Big Ten honors for his performance. While impressive, Daron still couldn't accept settling for second-team honors when Aaron had earned first-team All-Big East accolades. He worked harder than ever before preparing for his senior season.

Sadly, the extra effort was to his detriment. As Daron pushed himself harder and harder, he worked beyond what his body could handle. In the heart of offseason training camp, Daron tore his pectoral muscle badly enough to require a pair of surgeries to fully repair it. The resulting recovery process prevented him from participating his senior season. Daron couldn't stand the thought of losing his senior season and inevitably falling back into his step brother's shadow in Aaron's pursuit of NFL stardom. So, rather than accept a life stuck in the wake of his more successful step brother, Daron simply waited for his muscles to fully heal before applying as a late addition to the DSFL free agent market. Armed with nothing but an intense work ethic and a can-do attitude, Daron sets off to make a name for himself in the ISFL.

16) As a prospect, Daron Arnold provides all the same characteristics of his more famous step brother, Aaron Donald. He strives to be an inhuman combination of strength and speed, someone who can bull rush his way through the nastiest offensive lineman and still exhibit the speed to run down opposing RBs and QBs. Nothing wrecks an offensive game plan like pressure up the middle, and that's exactly what Daron hopes to provide for whatever team ends up drafting him. Sure, his technique could use a little work, but that's what the developmental league is for. Daron can be counted on to take advantage of every opportunity that is provided to him to improve.

Off the field, Daron wouldn't necessarily call himself a leader, but he is certainly capable of finding himself in the middle of any conversation. He is passionate about his hobbies, and is more than willing to talk and share about any of them. He is very active in the fantasy world, in a couple senses of the term. In terms of football, Daron is an aspiring fantasy football analyst. He's already penned a few articles each year detailing breakdowns of schemes and projections that most armchair analysts would never dream of digging into. He's also active in several online fantasy football communities and has earned a reputation for being particularly knowledgeable in year-long projections. In terms of fictional fantasy, Daron is active in multiple Dungeons and Dragons groups. He's always happy to share knowledge and swap stories. What's more, he always seems to find himself in a position to DM for groups of people who are entirely new to the role playing game. This dedication to sharing hobbies and passions with teammates is the bedrock of a cohesive locker room. When players can connect and enjoy each other's company, they are more likely to stay committed to the team and the sport. With commitment to each other comes commitment to improving. The team with the best locker room will usually look the best on gameday as well.
25) As noted above, Daron's primary concern is that he doesn't want to be stuck in anyone's shadow. He's spent his whole life playing second fiddle to his all-star step brother, so he wants to make a name for himself in his own right. His desire to play defensive tackle stems from the fact that there simply aren't that many great defensive tackles in the pros. By choosing defensive tackle as his position, he believes he has a clearer shot at making a roster in the ISFL, and by extension a better chance to prove his worth and earn his own name recognition.

If defensive tackle were no longer an option, Daron wouldn't be concerned. His unparalleled work ethic would allow him to transition easily to whatever position is needed most. The team that drafts him needs an offensive lineman? No problem. What if they have a hole at linebacker? Sure, just have to shed a few pounds to pick up his speed. Cornerback? Why not? Yeah, Daron might be a little big for a prototypical corner, but there's nothing a good work ethic can't adjust for. He'd even train as a kicker if that meant he was sure to make an ISFL roster. At the end of the day, Daron firmly believes that all he needs is a chance to play and he will prove that he belongs, no matter what position he ends up playing. As long as he gets his chance, he is confident that he will earn the right to be mentioned amongst the best to ever play the game.

28. Choose one existing award

It's interesting... the awards. And the most interesting award is the one that I myself am the easiest selection for. 4 seasons ago I did something only 5 other kickers in the league have ever done... a perfect kicking season. I was a near-unanimous winner. It was my first kicker of the year award and I thought it couldn't get better than that, yet as the years went on, the Sailfish won 2 Ultimus awards, I was nominated for both kicker of the year and punter of the year, but the awards never went my way after that perfect season. I was shocked. I was pretty much an equal pick for that award so it should have been a tie at least, but nope; it was given to another worthy kicker/punter. I got worse and worse and I knew I was at the twilight of my career. I didn't know if I should retire or if I should switch teams but I said, "what the heck! One more year can't hurt", and it certainly did not.

I became the first kicker to ever kick two perfect seasons. I kicked the same amount of field goals as the previous perfect season, and I kicked even more extra points. If there is an easy pick for an award this year, look right at me.

14. Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season? (400Words)


This season has been one to remember. Not only was it my first season in the majors, playing for Arizona Outlaws, but also the first season that I made it to the playoffs. As a wild card, but playoffs none the less, it all counts.

Throughout the season we won just more than we lost but it just wasn't enough, a winning percentage of .562. The Outlaws and Honolulu Hahalua ended up in tied second position, but the chance to just make it to the wildcard position is an amazing opportunity. Although it is disappointing for more than just me. I'm fine coming in and not winning a ring - it would have been great - but I'm disappointed for my GMs and team mates who put their all into the team over the past few seasons to be so close.

I know I've been called up early to help contribute to stats towards a Hall of Fame career, and I finally made a noteworthy stat in the last game of the season - aside from that I have made very 'wide receiver 3 stats'. Anyway, I guess the highlight and the lower point of this season came in the one game. I made the best stat of my football career and yet we lost the game that could progress us further. It's such a weird feeling to finally see a tiny slither of personal improvement. Anyway, it was a 96yard touchdown! Like what the hell is that?

There is nothing that I would change. I fully support everything I have done this season o=to contribute to my teams success. I do regret missing my first TPE opportunity, the stupid playoff predictions. So if I could change one thing this season, it would be to go and do those. And also learn hoe to use the casino. I know you have to have money to make money and I'm doing all I can to make the money. So maybe next season I will learn the casino so I can stress less about the money.

As for next season. My goals and expectations is to kickass as an individual player (well still wide receiver 3 stats with DSFL TPE) but also as a team. It would be awesome to walk away, at the end of next season, with a ring - the end of next season is to far away to think about. Anyway, here's to the season that was and the season to come.

The Award 400 Word one

The Green Award. The award for the person who bit off more than they can chew. The award for the green-est rookie on the team. The award for maybe some one that could potentially be the greenest on the team.

 

That award would definitely go to me, Kotoni Staggs. Why you ask? Well I will tell you, over the next 350 ish words. So I came into the DSFL with Sailor and goals of playing together and making it to the Hall of Fame. That is one green point – I knew it would be difficult but I don’t think I realized to the extent I would be earning TPE and trying to max out. So much so I’m kicking myself for missing the primetimes. The second green point was applying for the Intern Head Office position. I know what Head Office position entails, thanks to the Pro Baseball Experience, but did I think about ISFL HO while being so new to the league and the rules? I think I did, but it’s still a green move of me. The third green point goes to me working my butt off to earn money – and not working the casino. The adage stands true and “You need money to make money”. I cant emphasis how very true it is. So I will continue to work my butt off on media, wiki and twitter, and Head Office. That way, I can partake guilt free in the betting of money so that hopefully me earning money and investing it wisely will make me money. SO long and short of it- 3rd Green point. The next and 4th green point is contributed to by me wanting to be called up asap to help the previously mentioned Hall of Fame Career. How is that a green point? Well I have not done well. I know it’s like comparing apples to oranges but in the DSFL I did kinda okay, middle to top end range of first year Wide Receivers like me. But then I moved into the ISFL where everyone is so insanely above me that I have stood no chance of success (except my 96YD-er!).

As of writing this – these are the 4 points that contribute to me being the recipient of the Green Award. I tried to think of an old English slang name for it, but I didn’t want to waste more time search the 15 pages than it would take to just type this out. So here’s to me not winning this award next season!

16. This task is exclusive to recreate/non-recreate rookies of the S32 class and later. The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season? (2.5)

First off I would like to say, I am going into the draft with an open mind. I want to be known as a user that is more team goal oriented than focused on the individual stats. Sure, it’s nice to be a productive user at the same time, if the team is winning, I am having fun. What a great first season it was too, I was selected 1OA to the LON Royals. I would call them a dynasty team for sure, some of the best users have come and gone from their LR and it has been great to learn and grow as a user. I want to bring that to whatever team I go to. I want to be able to have fun in the LR and help new players be there as well. I was able to MAX earn this season and I would like to continue to be a user that will max earn every season. I don’t think I will be as lucky in the ISFL draft to go 1OA again but I would like to go in the first round, I feel like I bring a steadiness to the team and a consistent earner attitude. I would love to be a part of any team and help that team do whatever they want or need from me as a player. I really enjoy being part of the LR and I want to be part of a team that is fun and helpful. I will bring that to my team as well, fun, exciting and engaging and ready to put my all into a team.

17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. No graphics option available here. (2.5)

We were just discussing stadiums the other day. Actually, London uses one of the most widely known stadiums of all time. That being said, it’s only roughly about 14 years old at this point. There would be no real reason for us to have a whole new stadium. I think there are some great updates that we can make though. I would love to see us use the Royals gold on a beautiful new seating with a luxury section that includes a restaurant where a portion of your tickets goes to your food order. I would also like to dedicate a portion of my paycheck to buy out some suites to donate to various charities around the world. Then take out an endzone of seats and replace them with one giant screen where we can just watch replays. Or on off days we can have movie or game nights on it. I would spend a ton of money redoing the food court, offering a wide range of foods would only benefit our fans more. I am thinking about anything from a small snack bar to a tomahawk steak. The parking lot would be valet only, we like to treat our fans like they should be, the reason we play is for them and lets be honest, parking is the worst. Players would also be seen down in the parking lot for tailgating on a regular basis. At the end of the day, there is no reason to go moving the team, or building a whole new stadium when what you have works so well. I say, just build off that and you have yourself an amazing place to call home.

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why? (2.5)

If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would pick a different position on the Defense completely. I don’t hate playing DE but I think depending on the scheme the team you are playing for runs, it’s not a productive position. I think of it more like a support position than anything else. It’s more about holding the line back and ensuring that the LB can get past and get to the QB or sealing off the QB than anything else. Last I checked I was leading the team in Sacks… with 7. I would have liked to have at least a sack a game.  That being said, I think the Defense is stacked on London and we will have a great shot over the next season or two to really make some waves in the DSFL. If I had to move positions I would like to go to LB or CB. Depending on the build you go with, both can be a productive side of the football and put some stats on the board. LON is stacked in both positions though, so If I would have become a LB at the beginning of the season I most likely would not have gone there and I would not be playing for them or in their LR. I am truly happy with where I landed in the draft and the team I am on. So if I had to do it all over again.. I would go the same route.

16. This task is exclusive to recreate/non-recreate rookies of the S32 class and later. The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season?

So the next seasons Draft is coming up, and its quite exciting. Being drafted into the DSFL was a huge disappointment and I'm very hopeful it will not be repeated in the same manner for the ISFL draft. Being drafted in Round 7, what a shame.
So what do I bring to a team? I'm very active in the LR's, am one of the top earners of this entire draft class. Im also willing to switch positions to address any teams needs, well technically im only willing to switch to either rb, wr or de. still, plentiful options for any team to find me attractive.
Honestly, i feel like taking a chance on me is not really taking a chance on me, my player is da bomb. Such a multitalent, can play both sides of the ball, and is willing to put up the weight to go from QB to DE in a matter of an offseason. if that isnt dedication i dont know what is. Looking to make a splash as early as season 33, bernd d brot is looking to get called up the latest after his second season, once again showing his dedication to making it big in the big league.

19. If your player had a show starring them, what would the plot be?

So basically, my player Bernd D Brot already has his own TV show. Its a very popular late night Kids show on german television. Originally only supposed to be a filler for the late night tv station kika while the kids are asleep and dont need real programs to run, Bernd took it upon himself to turn his show and himself into a national phenomenon. Bernds show is known for his satiric and incredibly fatalistic, melancholic, depressed and grumpy. Bernds weird look makes him oddly appealing to the entertainment for children. Bernds show still runs every night on german television, but the new episodes obviously dont come in quite as often anymore with Bernds QB career taking off lately. However, he will make sure that his second passion in his life, making kids television, will never just become a thing of the past, since what can be more important in life than giving joy to children. The show is over 20 years old, and Bernd has been a famous staple since then. The plot is actually quite simple, its just Bernd D Brot mainly talking about things, sometimes singing and just general entertaining. Funniliy enough, german television built a statue in honor of Bernd and his show, however it was kidnapped a while back but has since been recovered

21. Now thats three seasons on the new sim. What are your thoughts? Do you think that it is better than DDSPF16?

Well, so honestly Im still kinda conflicted on this. I think the new Sim kinda did my old player dirty, basically making nickelback and SS pretty damn poor positions to play in, while old sim even gave my player a nomination for soty playing nickleback and in only about 60% of total snaps.
Another point that makes me favour the old sim is simply the TIME. sims run at 2am euro time, im on a pretty late schedule so i used to try and watch a game if possible, however with the new sim games take for fucking ever, especially DSFL double headers are almost impossible, the videos soooo looong.
BUT, the new sim is more balanced in my opinion, it doesnt favour certain positions as much as others anymore.
It also most certainly makes the viewing experience better, now that the whole speed thing is figured out. I would have loved to watch brandon booker fall down on his infamous dsfl play for mbb. Especially for WRs and qbs i think the change is pretty dope, you can certainly tell whenever your player is about to drop a pass.
All in all id say it was a change for the better, but its still something that can be improved upon

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?

Well, first of all it would be kinda weird that the Quarterback positions would not be available to play since thats kinda pretty much the most important position in football. Honestly, i dont know much about the history of football but thats kinda what i imagine football in the 20s to be like, but id say its prolly more exciting these days.
If i werent able to be a quarterback, id certainly be either a DE, WR or RB. I think this is a canon fact, since its what i tell teams heading into the upcoming isfl draft.
Personally, in the new sim i think being a WR is super fun, since with the ball throwing and ball flying stuff its quite exciting to watch ur dot perform compared to the old sim.
RB has always been a great position to be, since you will always get quite the workload in this league being a running back.
DE is kinda interesting, at first i was against being a defense guy again, but being a DE is pretty cool, you have alot more casual impact than a DB i believe, sacks are cool, FF/FRs are cool, whats not to like about Defensive ends??

28. Choose one existing award. Tell us why you think a certain player should win that award this season. Stats, or anything else possible should be used to support your case.

I would like to analyze some of the top defensive performers looking to capture the Defensive Player of the Year award for season 31. The main contenders should be, Rusty Rucker, Juan Domine and Maverick Bowie and man it is sure tight. These three were top in their position and its going to be really tough for voters to chose between them as they all had amazing seasons. My top pick would be Maverick Bowie mainly becuase of his turnover capability with eight interceptions on the year and 41 pass deflections, that is amazing cornerplay which really makes the offense limited. The two LBs also put up some massive numbers, racking up double digit sacks and grabbing a few INTs themselves. It really comes down to the value of all the tackles, sack numbers and, ability to cause turnovers compared the Bowies just stellar coverage and interception ability. I may be a bit bias but linebackers are paid to get tackles, sack the QB and both of them were good at that but its not like they were leaps and bounds better than their peers in these categories. On the other side, Bowie had 3 more interceptions that his closest competition and lead all CBs in tackles and PDs. This is something that voters need to be looking at because it can be really hard to quantify just how great a player is just comparing raw stats, its important to weigh the opportunities and compare within the position as to which player had the greatest impact on the league as a whole.

22. You’re in charge of entertainment for the Ultimus or Ultimini half-time show. What would you do?

For the halftime show of season 31 Ultimus were going back to classical. Instead of all these rock and pop groups that come in and fizzle out after a few months we're going to bring some true greats in. I'm thinking the Boston Philharmonic will grace the stage and play some of the greatest tunes from NFL films while we watch some of the highlights from the season. Heck you know how they have those torch/light wands for the spectators? Well this year we'll be making some changes to that too, now you will be getting an edible corn on the cob wand and there will be a competition for who can eat it fastest in the crowd and the winner gets a sideline pass for the second half. That's not all! Since the Ultimus is such an event half-time will have fireworks that rival new years. Teams and fans wait the whole season to see if their teams will win and what do they get if the lose? A great big nadda, instead they can enjoy the fireworks which are well worth the price of admission, I'm talking mortars, boom cannons, fizzie bops, rain reapers the whole shebang. By the end of it you wont even remember the game.

27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?

My favorite team branding I think are my own Orange County Otters. It is rare that you see a team using a polarizing color such as orange as their primary and OCO does it well. The otter mascot is also so very cute and playful but if you get on their bad side they will bit and hit you! I think a lot of the inspiration comes from the Oregon State Beavers but its done really well. As far as a team that could use a refresh, my choice would be the Chicago Butchers, not in terms of location or name but in terms of logo. I think its a little too campy/ Halloweeny for my taste. I would really like to see a person that I can attribute the butcher too. They can go several different ways, either a proud butcher similar to the old patriots logo, another scary butcher like the Oakland Raiders I guess, or something cute and cartoony like your friendly neighborhood butcher. I think this retooling of the logo really makes their team pop and entices new players. As much as I love being the villian and being the scary team it can be a bit of a turnoff for newer players. Either way the Butchers are an amazing team name and an amazing city!

17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. No graphics option available here.

Well, if there is a new stadium breaking ground, my player Dominos Pizzaman would be first in line to put in a bid for his pizza franchise. The name of his franchise is Bondi Pizza Ballroom, this was a venture that Pizzaman started during his stint in Bondi beach. The franchise specializes in theming and specialty pizza's each location has a late 1800's ballroom feel with servers dawning Victorian uniforms and lots of dancers that get the pizza party going! Obviously this doesn't really fit in a stadium setting but there will certainly be the quality of ingredients and service that go along with the franchise name. Instead of the great theming there will be a custom pick-up window that mocks a ballroom coat claim and as a souvenir you get a little mini coat in lieu of a receipt. As a promotion, the Pizzaman himself will be making guest appearances before games serving out slices and maybe once the stadium is setup the location will be in an awesome location so that the Pizzaman himself can deliver some pizzas to first row fans while the offense is on the field. Stadium food is such a great experience at most fields, this addition will catapult the new stadium to the top of the rankings, well hopefully.
