How would you improve Penn State's WHITEOUT atmosphere?

[ChiTownLion]

Georgia's red lights were a nice twist to their "red out." Imagine Beaver Stadium completely covered in black lights, like the locker room. Wonder how that would look on TV.

Also, I emailed Guido like 10 years ago to say the brightness of the WHITEOUT seemed to have gone from a 10 to a 9. He said it was possible as they changed the floodlamps to a more energy efficient bulb.

How about we find out which season ticket holders sold their tickets to opposing fans and publicly shame them on the big board.

 

[Safety Blitz]

Better offensive line blocking might help.

 

[fastlax16]

They could sell beer, or white claw I guess to stay on theme.

You really want to go there with these folks?

It's easy getting everyone to wear the same color. Now, pulling something off like this? ....

This would get some attention.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Eliminate the piped in brutally loud music.

 

[Ten Thousan Marbles]

Eliminate the piped in brutally loud music.

Or, maybe play the White Album......

 

[NittanyLion15]

Eliminate the piped in brutally loud music.

Including the amplified blue band sound.

Allow there to be a few moments when there's no sound at all. Allow the students to think up some chants on their own, without the guide on the PA system. Allow the crowd to "breath" on it's own... stop trying to sell us nonstop with commercials, or get us jacked up constantly with constant blasting on the crappy PA system, causing half the stadium to hold their ears, and the other half not being able to hear anything.

Nothing against Dean, but I also think it might be time to transition the stadium play by play announcer as well.... He's gotten a bit too mayberry for my taste, I feel like his tone used to come off as more stern, and too the point. Now the guys sounds like a narrator for Disney.

This ^^.

PSU should use the blue or black lights at the white out. The entire stadium would glow. Lighting seems to be the new trend with Bama and Georgia doing the all red and FSU changing lighting colors in 1 end zone.

 

[psu00]

You could do the European soccer flair thing.......

On the other hand, the people who run PSU would likely lose their flippin’ minds and call in PA state police helicopters to make bombing runs at the crowd dropping water like it was a wildfire.

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Artificial snow or real snow if nature plays along.

 

[psu00]

There’s the human LCD screens they do in Korea.

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Screaming loudly from the time the opponents offense finishes 2nd down to the beginning of 3rd down. Enough of this silence shit when the opponent gains 6 yards. Stand up and throat it out and if the old guy behind you complains scream louder.

 

[Kiber]

Same way they could enhance every home game..... find a way to get everyone into their seats a good 10-15 minutes BEFORE kick-off. The last 2 white-outs have been huge top 10 games for us. 2017 vs. Michigan and last year vs. Ohio St. Not only were they white-outs, but they were gigantic top 10 games. Yet the upper areas of the West and East sections towards the South Endzone (student sections) remained empty well into the 1st Qtr.

 

[ralphster]

Please, no black lights. BobPSU92 would not be happy. Everyone would know what he was doing when he says "I'll be back in 5 minutes."

 

[paulrandythomas]

Make it a real white out, free cocaine for everyone, over 21 of course. That’ll keep the crowd amped up.

Play Zombie Nation after big plays

 

[psuro]

Don’t do anything else. It’s fine the way it is.

We could easily break that at a White Out. It would be memorable. Let's make it happen!

 

[BobPSU92]

Whatever they change, make sure they spend five times more than necessary.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Are you familiar with the old line about “if it ain’t broke...”?

The white out has been identified as one of the best traditions in college football. Let’s work on our third down efficiency or game day traffic and parking.

They seemed to do a better job with the piped in music and loudness of it for the Pitt game.

Somehow, Penn State ain’t broke...yet. So they won’t fix it.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Need to make the Blue Bands halftime show a lot louder than it was last year. Shouldn’t take less than a week for my ears to recover.

Sandy's got it.

 

[BobPSU92]

Sandy's got it.

Of course. barren too.

 

[Nittany_93]

Those horizontal screens between the lower and upper decks: use them as a responsive horizontal decibel meter so the crowd can see how much noise they're making. In other words a blue bar increasing and decreasing with crowd noise. It would encourage crowd noise.

An Aztec like human sacrifice at halftime?

 

[psu1969a]

Enhance the White Out by letting the students pick the game or games they wish to be a white out. When a Marketing Hack picks the game, I lose a lot of enthusiasm. Same goes for a Strip Out.

It does not have to be an evening (football) game to be effective way to support a PSU athletic event; it has to be genuine student (fan) support.

 

[Whaaaaaaaany]

Win more of them

 

[Lyons212]

How about win the game for a change?

 

[Nittany_93]

I thought that's what "Fire Rahne/Limegrover" was for?

Penn State wear their all white uniforms.

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Give every fan who stays until the end of the game some white chocolate.

 

[Nitt1300]

win them

 

[lein]

we could sharpen the top of the uprights and impale Rod and old guard BOT at the beginning of each quarter,

 

[RGWhirly]

If not already said, win every whiteout game.

 

[massimoManca II]

Two words: THONG OUT

Automatic win would definitely improve a whiteout atmosphere. Not a great record for us in whiteout.
