Music at the stadium

Submitted by jmblue on
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?

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.

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 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.

Blues Brothers:  All right, but the crowd wasn't really that into it.

Teaching the stadium Jack Johnson Sr.'s dance = One of the best things I've ever seen.  Please make this a venerable Michigan tradition!!!

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.

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?
