Music at the stadium
I was very pleased to see the use of RAWK greatly reduced this game. I can live with it being used just once in a while, as it was. The band was indeed mic'ed up and it seemed to make a difference - I could hear noise coming from the speakers above the north scoreboard (without any echo problems, either), but then I can already hear the band from where I sit. Could people in the south end of the stadium hear it any better?

Nice though to see a reduction in the RAWK music.

Turn it off!
Turn it off!
I spent the whole game hoping they would turn it off. It sounded terrible. I sat near the band.
The only way I could see it working would be if the speakers were right next to the band. The speed of sound is finite, and the stadium is big.

I was in section 1 and I was not at all pleased with the amp results.

Sounded bad because
of the wind. We were directly across from the band and I thought the amplification was awesome! The wind, however, made it sound like it cut in and out. I think on a calm day we will be very happy with the sound. No complaints from section 43.

Sec 36
Sec 36
I was in 36 in north endzone and it was obviously really loud on our end. Have family directly across from us in sec 10 and they also said the "amplified" band sounded great all the way across the stadium.
The fact that the band played 98% of the time compared to RAWK was a great improvement over last season.

It's obviously the first time
It's obviously the first time
It's obviously the first time they've been mic'd up so they need to work on fine tuning it. Overall, I think it's good that everyone can hear it. The people who sit near the band kind of get screwed with the delay though.

yeah that band sure gets people fired up!

lol. I know many of you think saying 'Rawk' is the funniest thing on earth, but it gets the crowd fired up. Play some ACDC and see how loud that place gets. We need to incorporate more music into the games. Simple as that.

Sweet Caroline
Sweet Caroline
While I was out of the country and therefore had to miss the opener, it's great news to hear that Jock Jamz were reduced. I prefer calling it "Jock Jamz" instead of "Rawk"...it's a more accurate phrase. Of course, "shitty Irish pub music" could work at times (see, for example, "Sweet Caroline"). Then again, some people think that piping in music gets the place loud. Don't those people know that it's more than a bit embarrassing to have a Neil Diamond sing-a-long at a football game?
in the student section up behind the band there is a clear delay, but I liked the loudness
