its only going to incense us.Am I the only one who found the music played over the speakers at Vanderbilt incredibly obnoxious last night. It was so loud that it covered up both bands and was played almost constantly. One Vanderbilt fan who was sitting near me said that last night it was much louder and played with more frequency than normal. He assumed it was done to drown out the Tennessee fans and band.
Vandy should focus on improving their program to the point that people would want to attend their games to cheer for Vandy rather than lets jack up ticket prices and gouge the other team's fan base. Any time Vandy plays Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, or LSU they have a minority of fans in their own stadium. Years ago, I went to see MTSU/Vandy two years in a row where it was probably 50/50. It has to be disheartening to those kids when they run onto the field for their senior night and get booed.
Why does it matter? It's their problem not ours and we're at a football game not a concert.Am I the only one who found the music played over the speakers at Vanderbilt incredibly obnoxious last night.

I heard Vandy season tickets cost less than single game last night....

Their system they were using for their stadium announcer sounded like high school quality on tv.Am I the only one who found the music played over the speakers at Vanderbilt incredibly obnoxious last night.

It was awful. And the guy going around doing the promos to rev up the 500 or so Vandy fans present was sad. But yes, I think it was intended to drown out Vol fan noise and our band. Didn’t matter in the outcome.
The Vandy game environment reminds me of a minor league baseball game. I thought for sure some yahoo would start running around the field in a furry suit or something. The weird burrito
cornhole games and giving out gift cards, I have never seen that before. Seemed like the music was paired for the vandy dance team and our players liked that. Another thing was we had the small band but I never saw our cheerleaders, felt robbed. That damn fog horn will rattle you teeth it is so loud.
I mentioned to my girlfriend what some of the other posters have mentioned. It was like about a AA minor league baseball game. It was just pathetically sad. I felt embarrassed for all of them. The music was just too loud, but they were desperately trying to drown out UT fans and band.The sound for him was so loud it was hard to understand him. But the fact that they did so many promos, felt like a high school event.
