    Wonder if it will be inaudible to most of the East side from there like it used to be. Looking at the seating chart, it'll probably be fine except maybe for the upper deck sections 116-124 or so.

    I feel the same. I remember sitting on the South end of the East side of the stadium back in the day and not being able to hear the band. I'm sure some sections won't be able to hear them. Should have left them where they were. Everyone could see them and hear them.

    The South end zone is visible from all of DKR seating. No better place for the band or Bevo.

    being an ex LHB member when we sat on the east side of the stadium, the NE sounds way more appealing than the south end zone

    PLEASE???? The ads take all the life from the crowd during a timeout.

    And I'm a big fan of the band being moved. Put's it in the middle of the crowd, next to the students, and will be easier to hear

    I think it's a great idea. Maybe a side effect will be student sections won't look so empty.
    I would LUV to see the ads toned down and the volume!!!!

    Volume of Adzillatron not the band.

    As I said in the On the Field thread, south end zone wasn't the worst place. The whole stadium could hear them from there. When they were in section 26, almost the entire east side couldn't hear the band.

    Section 18 looks better than 26, because they're in a corner, not the goal line, and should be pointed down the U. Some of the north end zone won't hear them, especially the upper deck, but that's better than the whole east side.

    Sounds like a decent compromise between acoustics and crowd involvement, so not a bad move.

    Turn down adzillatron, make Bevo more visible, less ads/interruptions in general. And can we update the band uniforms?

    Good Move!! Agree, turn down the Adzillatron and get rid of all the BS crap between quarters.

    Move Bevo to a pedestal at midfield so he can fertilize at appropriate times.

    this is the same argument as updating the football uniforms. it is a classic look

    The football uniforms have been updated before.

    Those are the equivalent of the band uniforms we have now. If the football uniforms still looked like that, we'd be asking for those to be updated too.

    We don't need a lot of razzle-dazzle, an orange-and-white version of something like this would be nice:

    We need to get some snazzy black uniforms, like all the "cool kids" wear.

    By the way we have updated the band uniforms.

    the current uni's aren't that different from the picture above. It's basically a flip of the major colors and some fringe. They've changed the bow tie since I was there.

    If you end up talking to the people involved (the members, alumni and staff, most of them will tell you they like the unis as is).

    band sounded really loud and awesome during the O/W game.... and the entire band was not even involved.

    Not this one.

    Besides, that sounds like a biased sample, doesn't it? "If you talk to people that voluntarily join an organization that demands a lot of their time for no pay, they like most things about it." Who would've guessed?
    What if this survey included people that decide not to join? Maybe they don't join because there are things they don't like about it, including the goofy archaic uniforms.

    Wear it with pride or don't play. Too much proud history for a person to call it goofy and archaic.
