I remember reading on here but have forgotten the reason they no longer fire the cannon before the game.

Anyone?

Because it was obnoxious, startling and unnecessary. If I had to guess.

I was about to bring that up, I was their next door neighbor when they got it taken away from them, it's bad form to shoot your guests!

BTW: would that cannon be up to par with today's cannon?

It was done by the cadets. If I had to make a guess the funding was cut. The cadets had to have the cadre there and ordinance would come from the guard.

So honest guess from me would be defense spending cuts trickling down.
