I stood up on 3rd downs and big plays this past weekend, and that was it.
I had a state trooper tell me that the people behind me couldnt see!! AND this was in the 4th qt.
I couldnt believe it I am a mild fan I never talk ish to other teams or our obnoxious fans, I dont even always stand up on 3rd down. I was shocked

I know this isn't keeping with the thread title, but there was some guy that got escorted out by the police in section X5, or X4. Does anyone know what that was about? It was a Vol fan I think.

For the record, people enjoy Titans games just fine seeing how they've sold out every game ever...

Completely different crowd at the titan's game. Outside the club level, the crowd seems to be introduced to showering and basic hygiene

I'm 63. I've roadied for several bands: heavy metal, southern rock, classic rock, etc. So, don't go off on the 'old fart' 'don't get it' patooie. I know I've partied too much in my life. As far as music: rap, rock, or whatever goes towards getting folks 'in the mood' I get it.

That said, I can't stand can't stand the piped in music when The Pride of the Southland Band is perfectly capable of producing any kind of music the 'game day programmers' might think they need. The POTSB can do it and they should be getting a director who will play the most modern tunes instead of having Patsy sing 'doggie in the window' or marching formations of trains while playing Chattanooga choo choo with someone blowing out a fire extinguisher for smoke. They really did do some goofy stuff under Sousa.

Anyway, I say 'think they need' because it's the quality of play on the field that gets the crowd rockin, and NOT that pizzy azzed piped in raggedy, over clipped on the PA whatever it is they chose to throw out. I frankly hated it last Saturday. Someone needs to take the game planner on his knee and say, "Listen up little boi, whachu doin wi' that piped in music is turnin a LOT of fans OFF, big time. Why, it pulls enough vacuum to suck start a 747, it sucks out thuh ying yang! Find a better mix of band and that crud or you're outta here, and you won't have to worry 'bout not letting the door hit you in the azz on the way out,... it will. Hard enough to knock you're stooped little hinny all the way off campus to the middle of The Strip. (see if you can get a job there)

We lived in Tampa for a few years and went to a couple of Bucs games, and I swear all we did the whole game was pass beer down our aisle to some other people setting down from us. They spent a fortune on beer, but I guess that's typical at NFL games. I honestly don't think they watched the game at all. They just drank the whole time.

Being a life-long Bucs fans, I could see where they needed to knock them back all game long.

good first paragraph. Well structured second paragraph. Unfortunately the two are polar opposites and make for a bad read. If you get it, based off all your previous experiences, you would have got it Saturday. The place was rocking and there's no possible way anyone can justifiably argue the piped in music didn't help.

You just confused the hell out of me... You understand
Why they do it, then you hate it, then you are going
To curb stomp the director of the piped in music...

As a former member of the Pride. Please don't have them try to play some of the rap of modern music. They look and sound stupid.

And I'm not even going to pretend that the last bit of what you said is English. That being said, it was rockin' in Neyland last weekend with the piped in music and band. Give it a rest you bunch of blue hairs.

At the "old folks" After Party all we talked about was how the "music" ruined our game day experience (not). Lord have mercy.

look I think it's goofy as crap that it take Metallica to get Lane Stadium rocking and don't get my started about how goofy I think USCe looks with their piped in music. But it isn't about me. The stuff we were pumping in Saturday wasn't about me. It's about the atmosphere, for players and fans alike. Bottom line, the stuff works. Lane Stadium goes absolutely bonkers when Metallica hits. Williams-Bryce goes nuts when their stuff hits. The music Saturday pumped up the players, kept the fans alive when we needed it most during the third quarter and then the whole dancing and cheering Sterling thing. There's a middle ground and I think they did a great job of finding it Saturday. I sang aloud to Rocky Top tons of time. I cheered the V-O-L-S, go Vols go cheer tons of times. I also had something to keep me occupied and energized during complete down times.

Was OK until your last sentence. Check my posts. Most of the whining is coming from those of a younger persuasion.

I'm not going to personally vet every single post by someone older than me to make sure that my post applies to everyone.
