The canned music was played way too much and way too loud. Played while the QB was trying to hear the call in the (newly authorized?) helmet gizmo. Both teams. Pipe down and let the band play.
Yeah, I noticed that at the 2:00 minute before the end of the game it was like a fire drill. Everybody got up and left.oskidunker said:
1.,pa system echoing. Something wrong. Could not understand much of what was said. Same as last year. Band hardly played, Bear Growl is back and now we have an nfl 2 minute warning. Are we still being held hostage by Leerfield? The said they were shortening the half time to speedup the game yet they inserted thevtwo minute crap. Also at the end of the game. Everyone in our row left said screw it

I'm on the east side and was pleasantly surprised how clear the PA system was

they had the large black speakers last season too, and they are immensely better than the much smaller speakers on the section polls. Actually one of the best game day experience improvements on the east side.Golden One said:HoopDreams said:I think it depends on where you are sittingoskidunker said:

The echo was pretty bad on the west side of the stadium. I noticed that they have installed some large speakers above the rim of the stadium on each goal line. I wonder if that's causing the problem.

I also think those where the speakers I was listening to when I said they were surprisingly clear, although I'm close to section GG. Maybe closer to the stadium, which may have made the acoustics betterfor me?

I didn't notice them last year. Whatever the cause, the echo was pretty bad on the west side.
The DJ has no concept of football. His only job is to fill the silence with noise.rkt88edmo said:
Fk the piped in music, it is repetitive and lame really really repetitive by 4th qtr, I can't imagine a whole season of this schlock.
Apache was pretty good, yes to DJs yes to innovative music that doesnt play over the band
Why do they play hype music when we are on offense in the huddle, it thought we were quiet for our team and loud to disrupt the opposition.
But I'm pretty sure that's not the DJ when they play the same 4 hype songs over and over...JSC 76 said:The DJ has no concept of football. His only job is to fill the silence with noise.rkt88edmo said:

what were the white curtains for on the Cal sideline?
I've never seen them at a Cal game before, nor any college FB game

Band needs to play less. Pre game at Sproul is cool and half time is ok but offstage during the game is better

If you're talking about what I'm thinking you're talking about I thought they were to basically give a better background behind signal callers to make it more clear for coaches/players that are showing signals to the players.
The two minute warning (which it's not being called) is a good thing in my opinion, IF it helps take away a break from other parts of the game, or, as you say, shortens half time....I haven't read enough to know what the full intent was.oskidunker said:

They played the "blow the whistle" medley about 50 times. I almost wanted to shoot myself lol. If in 34 and getting annoyed by it, I'm sure some older people were as well.
Not sure if there is a limited number of songs they can use or for money reasons or what, but I can find a non DMCA football playlist on YouTube if they need some help.
The small crowd size, heat, as well as lack of entertaining offensive plays never helps either.
In today's world, this is just called music.82gradDLSdad said:FrankBear21 said:

Is this the hour long 'rap' music before the game? We get there early to avoid any issues and the blaring rap music when you know the 'youngsters' aren't even in the stadium yet is hard to take.

Perhaps you're serious; perhaps you're being snarky to make a point. But your comment does cause me to reflect deeply.Pittstop said:
So, I gather from the comments that absolutely no one enjoyed attending today's game at Memorial Stadium, right? Not recommended to go see the games in person?

This one again?
The pre game music is for the players, not for anyone else. They could be playing Johann Sebastian Bach or the Wiggles and I wouldn't care as long as that's what the players want to get hyped before a game
