Piped in music is GREAT for CFB, but truly takes away from Death Valley

(If you're 29 years old or younger or a new fan in last 10 years...you will not have the ability to compare to what it was like prior 20 2015ish...I know you like how it is now, but wish you could sample 1997-2017 and truly say its better with Piped in)

Piped in music is awesome at Pro/College Football games all over to enhance the environment from the lacking experience from the fans. You see it in all sports, the music is good, upbeat that you can dance to and sing a long for sure. Those are places where theres something lacking and Technology/Music can make up for it.

Death Valley is the best. For one reason, the fans. I think the issue is the Pre Game. From the 90's to about 2017 ish, The two hours before the game starts, there would be an energy in that stadium that would make your hair stand up. The fans would get into it with LSU Chants around the whole stadium or Geaux Tigers or whatever. Then we would all be so anxious to hear those notes from the band that the place would go ape shite. This would be an hour before kickoff. I feel like there is an energy that becomes electric as that builds up to kickoff that carries over into the game.

I think the biggest issue is the Pre Game piped in music vs in game piped in music. When all the Piped in music starts pregame, disclaimer, its good music that makes you get into the music and upbeat. But it totally takes away from that nervous energy, that builds and builds for two hours before kick off. Its a feeling like that the Team needs the fans ebergy us to be pissed off passionatly, liquored up and let it rip. Now with the music, its takes away from that feeling, bc you have music doing it for you. So you become more of a fan and get loud at certain times. But you become more of a spectator compared letting the other team knows it starts with 100k fans in your fricking ear all night. Starting two hours before kick off.

I know its not going away, but we have to eliminate pre game except maybe a total of 30 minutes of the 2 hour pre game. Let it play at certain key times.

We dont have to be like the rest of all sports, when you are already the best that all seek to be like. They are trying to go up, and piped in makes us like them and that takes us down or to the standard

Kyle Field would be just as loud if the stadium was empty

Loud rap music drowns out all crowd music

I enjoy the real noise of Tiger stadium
