Lol asking for an exciting atmosphere and music/band/pa to all be on the same stage is nitpicking now.
I agree on the band and PA. They definitely need to be more coordinated.
The "We are...Marshall" chant needs to have its own time to be done and done at basically the same time each game.
It used to be done that way...at the 10:00 mark of the 2nd quarter. What happened to that, I don't know.
Now, there's music being played over the PA and the band plays...no cue to maybe STFU during the chant.
It also needs to never have any sort of advertising or band playing while its happening...maybe the PA just to announce the play and next set of downs, etc but thats it.
No band. No music. No advertising during that time. It should have its own time done too, so coordination is easier to do.
The band director and PA announcer aren't very well coordinated and I would say they really need to do better with communication and I doubt they are radioed to one another.
I'm not in either department so unless someone can contact what can realistically be done, not sure what solutions are out there.
The band has to respond more spontaneously, you can't predict a 1st down, when the ball will be snapped, a sack, INT, etc, so everything has to respond and it, at times, is just confusing and a cluster.
I am sure there are required advertisements that have to be said at some point during the game since the businesses bought the time. Perhaps this can be moved or shifted.
The biggest issue is the PA MUST say a certain amount of commercial advertising because thats paid for by businesses.
He also has to announce the plays and progress of the team whenever the play happens.
So basically, the PA is advertising the whole time, the band is playing based on what happens on the field, and the crowd is expected to be tuned into all of this, along with the play in general.
I don't disgaree with you in the general consensus that the gameday atmosphere can improve, but again, I'd rather the PA and band just know when to talk/play in a more organized manner.
When that happens, MU fans can nitpick the bleacher stains, the crappers (which are a flatscreen TV from having people being in there over than in the stands in the frigid cold wind because the bathrooms are very well heated), goalposts, rap music, and little things.
