New athletic year changes

[BrickCityDawgs]

On Monday's BCD with the start of classes, we want to what you want to be different this year for Bulldog sports. It can be different results or something you would change about the game experience. Let us know in this thread.

Swap the End Zone graphics. Put MISSISSIPPI STATE at the end where the HAIL STATE awning is & HAILSTATE down by the run-thru tunnel. My OCDness can't take it anymore!

Stop playing terrible music, and inundating the crowd with ads and chicken dances...

Just so we're on the same page, examples of terrible music would include Jump Around or Let Me Clear My Throat. It's not 1993. It's 2015. Those are not classic ballads. They should be left for dead.

I'd like to have a kickass band rather than one you can't hear. And stop playing 'turn down for what' on the pa while the band is playing.

I envy LSU's band because you can hear them no matter where you sit. Is it because they sit in the upper part of the bowl or are we just using different tuba's or something?

/For the band people. I'm not saying our band is bad. I like you, I just want to hear you.

How about building a few more rest rooms on the ground level. The situation is ridiculous now, especially men's rest rooms. Somebody forgot to tell facilities management that the crowd is now in the 60K range not 35K.

It has to do with where they sit in the stadium. The end zone would be ideal, but the band would be spread out across multiple sections.

You are way wrong on DJ Kool's classic. For one, that song wasn't even out in 1993... More importantly, the crowd and players go crazy when that song comes on. That's gotta stay.

I agree on the ads and chicken dances, and last year was definitely better in that regard.

 

[uptowndawg]

I get what you're saying. The sections in the new bowl are tiny, and it would look silly to have an aisle running through the band.

But it should be an easy fix. Bleachers are cheep. Bolt some more in across an aisle to connect 2 sections.

How about MISSISSIPPI STATE and BULLDOGS? Let's leave Hail State to apparel and spoken word.

 

[croomin]

No. There are better alternatives. It's real weak.

 

[dawgstudent]

BANNED b/c you don't like DJ Kool.

 

[croomin]

Hah.

 

[The Peeper]

Are you saying we need more troughs?

Allow a band to play in the amphitheatre before games, a la Champions Square

On Monday's BCD with the start of classes, we want to what you want to be different this year for Bulldog sports. It can be different results or something you would change about the game experience. Let us know in this thread.

Hire a good, fun band to play, starting 4 hours before kickoff.
They finish up 2:15 before kickoff.
Cheerleaders show up, quick pep rally.
At 2:05 before kickoff, bus pulls up right behind the amphitheatre (where they dump out anyway), the players walk across the stage.
Coach brings up the rear, gives a pregame rah-rah speech.
Dawgwalk from there like normal.

It would give more people the ability to see the players during the walk. As it is now, if you're 2 or more rows back, you can't see anything.
It would also give the people without a designated tailgate spot something fun to do before the game.
Put the facility to some use, besides just a 'smear the *****' lot for kids on gamedays. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
