Re: Dome Cleaning Crew = Failure!!!

It was everywhere. We were in row 44 on the east side.

Well you can't say they aren't consistent

Normally the building is very well maintained, but it was horrible yesterday. In our section the floors had a thick syrup on the floor and the seats were sticky. It was beyond embarrassing for UNI hosting an NCAA event and having two weeks from the last event.

I heard the Cap'n had rented out the Dome for a "party" earlier this week.
So you probably don't want to know just what it was that made the floors sticky....

Re: Dome Cleaning Crew = Failure!!!

I took a bit of a circuitous route to my eventual seat and I can say with certainty that it was sticky everywhere. We walked across the top few rows of seats on the West side, because there was no one sitting in the top 10 rows all the way across and it was less congested than the concourse. Several choco ice cream bombs a one or two nacho cheese blowouts on seats/floors.

Then we made our way to the student section, because the students weren't using it, and the floors were sticky there too.

We were in front row Section C, and EVERYTHING was covered in stickiness. I ended up putting my coat on the seat, and now it is just... ugghh.

Man that is just turrible, you just don't know what that sticky is.

Re: Dome Cleaning Crew = Failure!!!

It sure is an embarrassment to have the place be so disgusting. It's a tough job cleaning it, but when you host an NCAA or any other event the public comes to you have to put your best face forward. That wasn't it.

It's been that way for nearly every game this season in my area. 45 yd line, 8 rows up on the west side.

I received an email from TD this morning - an outside business was hired to clean the Dome - was fired today...

Good to know that was quickly taken care of.

Another example of an outsourcing failure. As a taxpayer, I understand the need to save money where possible. However, as a former state employee, I have seen outsourcing fail as often as it works. Outside contractors don't take the same pride in the job as someone who works for "The Company." The company in this case being UNI Facilities Management.

This is a case where trust but verify applies. Outsourcing isn't good or bad per se, its how it is managed over time. Can't just toss it over the fence and forget about anymore than hiring two hundred employees with no supervisors/managers.

Poor cleaning folks. They just thought that mopping the floor with maple syrup would give it that extra shine!

This. Well said.
