re: New policy bans opposing bands from performing in TS

Anyone go to Notre Dame back in the 90s when they made our band sit on the field in the corner?

Both bands are on the field in the corners. The ND band is located in the NE corner close to the student body. The opposing team band is in the SE corner near most of the visiting fans. Both the ND band and the LSU band were on the field the entire game.

This brings me to the "safety" issue that the LSU administration is using to justify this policy. There is a lot less room on the Notre Dame sidelines and corners than in Tiger Stadium (the stands are very close to the field at ND). For most games, the opposing teams bring their entire band to the game. So for most home games, there are 2 full bands in the corners of the field for the entire game.

Yes, sometimes the band and football players "meet each other" like when Golden Tate caught a TD pass and "celebrated" with the Michigan State band: Golden Tate greets Michigan State band
