re: Stadium Experience is Severely Lacking

For the record, I am totally open to a new song. I just miss the excitement of hearing a song (any song) that got the team pumped following a score or to start the game/half.

It is still there to be played, but by the time the long and drawn out "It's Saturday Night in Death Valley" is finished Gamble has about kicked the ball already. Like has been discussed, the original version (2 versions ago, with the movie trailer voice over guy) finished about 20 seconds earlier and was perfect timing form the coin toss, to "I'm From La.", to kickoff.

The first half was pretty miserable.

Pipe in some Boosie music

Let me give you some cliffs from bama to make you feel better since we all consider Alabama to be the standard of college football. They play some random arse music between every. Single. Play. I'm talking like no moment of silence at all, and the band is never heard from aside from halftime and rammer jammer. They played shite like 'friends in low places', 'mr brightside', 'thunderstruck', some T swift, etc. Not exactly player pump up music. It felt cringeworthy at times and I had a headache at the end. Not to mention that their crowd has nothing on Death Valley. I had always assumed they were our equal from a crowd noise standpoint given similar stadium size and it's honestly not even close. The shakers make them so quiet. Oh, and they also had plenty of fans pouring out of the stadium in the fourth quarter despite it being reasonably close. And their traffic was every bit as bad as LSU
TLDR: I don't think our game day experience is as bad as you think

Go to the Swamp. Tailgating right outside the stadium. Bar and restaurant district within a couple of blocks. FREE cold water stations with bottle fillers. Concession stands give you full the selection. Negligible bathroom lines. Busses right outside allow you to cool off at halftime and re-enter.

Our athletic department needs to step up..

are they still playing shite like phil collins and start me up all the time?

NO ONE is in to that.

Why should anyone be okay with LSU doing a sub-par job in the media department (A/V in the stadium) simply because bama does a shitty job too?

You must be the A/V guy for the stadium pimping all this unadulterated B.S. crap. Piped in music has nearly ruined the the best atmosphere in college football. Funny how all these decades we didn't need it. Now that we can spin a tune and crank up the sound to deafening levels suddenly we cannot live without it.

I was at Ole Miss and Bama the game day experience absolute sux because they are ruled by the whims of the D.J. in the booth.

Thank god Aleva has seen fit to turn that shite down before it's too late.

The Golden Band probably needs time to adjust because they're so used to being over ruled by the Dj in the booth they need to get back into we run the show mode.

The times have changed. The band alone doesn't create the atmosphere it once did, tastes in music have changed.

Put today's fans in the atmosphere from 10 years ago and they wouldn't enjoy it, well not the younger fans.

Also if the players rather the piped in music to pump them up then pipe it in all damn game

They just need to play "Neck".

Play neck and fix the concessions and you fix 95% of the gameday problems.

If you think 4 short paragraphs constitutes a novel, then congratulations, you’re fricking stupid. I can’t stand the dumbasses here who act like a very average length post on a site like reddit is somehow “trying too hard”. This website would be much better if there were more of him and less of you
