Stadium Experience is Severely Lacking

I know this has been discussed a lot this year so bear with me, but I can't hold my tongue and am posting here with hopes someone from the gameday media team reads tiger rant.

The gameday experience in Tiger Stadium (from a media team / production perspective) is an absolute embarrasment right now.

Aside from the inexcusable rediculousness of the video board malfunctioning the entire first half, the production team responsible for audio/video has zero concept of game flow or how to influence (or take advantage of) momentum during the game.

How many times after a big play was there complete silence from the band or no music playing on the speakers?

Why have they gotten away from playing the "I'm from Louisiana" song before kickoffs? Three times during Saturdays game they played NOTHING after a score (after the band finished). Kickoffs are HUGE momentum opportunities after scores where the team can (and do) get super pumped and the crowd can carry that juice to the defense.

In the second half there was a huge 3rd down play following the introduction of the fighter pilots on the field. The media team played some ridiculous patriotic america song for 2 whole minutes leading up the the snap of the ball on 3rd down. Look, I am all for playing the "america" song, but please understand whats happening on the FIELD, and transition from that into a pump-up song to get the defense and crowd juiced for the 3rd down play.

There is no logic to when or why they play the "pump up videos" featuring players like Guice or DWhite yelling for they crowd to get into it. Its at random like someone says "oh yea... play that".

The songs they do play when they try and get the crowd involved are terrible and totally outdated.

Again, its really not even about what you are playing, its more about WHEN and WHY. Its like they write a pre-game script for when and what to play and they completely ignore whats happening on the field and when to capitalize on momentum.

Someone needs to take a long, hard look at the team who is responsible for A/V in the stadium and overhaul the game-day experience in death valley.

Look at a school like Mississippi State: 10 years ago Davis Wade was one of the most boring away games ever. Now, I am certain its one of the most fun gameday experiences in the SEC (aside from those damn cowbells- but hey... its their thing). They did what im calling for LSU to do - they overhauled their gameday experience, updated their playlist, pay attention to whats happening on the field, and if you have been in the past 5 years or watched the game against Alabama last weekend -- now their stadium is rocking.

With the venue, crowd and most importantly MONEY that goes into the LSU football program, attending a game in Tiger Stadium should be a seamless production that leaves lasting memories regardless of the games outcome. There is so much value in CREATING and CAPITALIZING on momentum during the game and we need to be better about it.

PS: Notice, I am not crapping on the band or the crowd noise. Both of those are an integral part of the gameday experience. The players are doing everything possible on the sidelines, but jumping and waving towels can only get you so far...

TL;DR: LSU needs to be better from a media perspective in tiger stadium (audio/visual).
