Using the SMU game as an example. The TO at 12:58 after CF's three to bring us within one. The crowd was in a frenzy. The TO lasted forever and when the 15-second warning was given to each team's huddle, the band began playing whatever scripted song was pre-planned. All the energy was sucked out of the arena. I am an old fogey and don't even know what the song was, but there was absolutely NO FAN PARTICIPATION involved. I stood in Section 104, waving my arms to encourage crowd enthusiasm and finally had to sit down after the ball was put in play because I stood as the lone jerk. The crowd noise did pick up to a mild rumble, but it certainly was not demanding team effort/performance.
Why couldn't the band ditch the pre-planned song and play Low Brass Cheer or even the beat played at the beginning of each half, either of which the majority of the crowd recognizes and many participate in?"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

Pros:
1.They keep my area around my seats clean.
2. I like that they let the crowd sing the national anthem.
3.They have a good variety in concessions -for those early games where I can’t stop at Barnards.
4. They added WiFi and it seems to be getting better
5. A their pixel app now works
6. The cheerleader routines are like watching NASCAR for the wrecks. Never seen so many cheerleader dropped.
7. They have did a better job of filling the student section
cons:
1. The introductions and intro videos are crap.
2. Whoever thought of pixel - crap
3. Glare off the periphery of the floor from LED lights is annoying. All they need to do is put a mat down.
4. Removal of bottle caps is so idiotic
I dont really care care either way about promotion. If the team was rocking it defensively, it would not matter - but their not
