In-Game Atmosphere Discussion

Sigh. I must be a dinosaur but i liked it better in the 80’s and 90’s when it was just basketball and no frills with amazing crowds, the dome ranger and free fries when we scored 100.

i remember taking my brother to a BB game back mid 80's . not a huge sports fan he spent almost the entire game back behind the blue curtain. whateva happened behind the curtain stayed behind the curtain ...

now i have not been to a home football game myself this season but the 4th qtr attendance numbers seem to suggest what some sleepers might recall as the DUTCH OVEN EFFECT . the old fart and fluff in the dome. people hitting the exit aisles as desperate and frantic as ernest borgnine in the poseidon adventure

The last year of the curtain was 2003. I miss it. Loved the curtain

I only care about the product on the field, the replay boards, and the audio.

Product on field post-Angeli is a D-
Replay boards are an A+
Audio from the PA remains a

Wish the band sounded better. But it’s a small band.

I don’t eat stadium food.

Beer selection is fine.

just win, baby.

Also, a team named the “Orange” should NEVER do a white out.

Yeah, it’s not a huge marching band, but I don’t know if they sound bad. It’s hard to tell what sounds good in the dome. Every single musical act I’ve seen there sounds awful and headache inducing.

If the same truck won every single time, wouldn’t it get a bit boring?

It already is boring

The only in game thing I listen to is when they honor a vet. The kid asking a fan about Frans favorite pizza topping or a player naming cereal, not interested.
We can't really do it but dimming the lights in the stands like they do at MSG creates a great vibe.

2003. Well, that's a coincidence.

Agree. Not blaming the band, its all about the acoustics

I'm just here to drink lots of beer and watch some football. And when the football stinks...most of the time...Just drink more beer.

100%, everything else is a bunch of BS

Grab n go beer is the best fan experience improvement they've ever made.

If I could get greedy beyond that, I'd like a bigger band and for them to play The Saltine Warrior after extra points.
