Stadium Experience is Severely Lacking
Posted on 11/13/17 at 9:16 am

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The songs they do play when they try and get the crowd involved are terrible and totally outdated.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

The music is for the players.
you're expectations are too high, it's not a Pink Floyd concert

Meh, disagree. Especially if you’re referencing this past sat. The stadium filled up, minus the higher seats, with way more people than I thought would show for an 11 am game. Could it be better, sure anything can be better.

less people going to games; more watching from home (HD TV, convenience, etc)
less revenue inside the stadium; more revenue from TV ads
it's quite the conundrum because, in my opinion, the only way to improve stadium experience is to speed up the game. This cannot happen when marginal revenues are only coming from TV ads

They just need to play "Neck".

Wow. That's a lot of typing to hate 20 second audio clips so much.

Are you shitting me?! That was the Hulk Hogan theme song! Me and 3 other guys sitting in our section were so pumped after that we ripped off our shirts like the Hulkster! Get a life, brother!

“I’m from Louisiana” is retarded. I hope to never hear that again.

Shitey music aside, maybe it has something to do with, idk, how boring this team is to watch? Doesn't help when you don't have much more to play for after the inevitable Alabama loss every year.

Hire stupid cronies, get bad results. True in every aspect of business.

Way too many people on here are just stupid children.

I posted this over the weekend but it needs to be said again,
The biggest killer to the game atmosphere is there's a presentation of some sort of group every single time there's a TV time out. It sucks the life right out of the game

You just wrote 7 paragraphs about either too much or too little or not the correct piped in music.
And a video glitch.
All on a day where our team dominated another at 11 am in the morning.

Bottom line, LSU gameday experience has become to pricey. Between being charged to park, charged to tailgate, charged to eat concessions, charged entry into the game, and then all of that results in a 3 hour commute home...
Easier to invite friends over and tailgate in the driveway with cheap food and then watch the game.

Wait, so now we want more piped-in music?
It seems like it was yesterday that people on here were dumping on the Alabama Gameday experience because it’s nonstop piped in junk.

Is your entire post about what and when to pump in music?
Posted on 11/13/17 at 12:39 pm to TigerFan4040
Just sell beer and every single problem imaginable will be instantly solved.
