Piped in Music

[fearson05]

That song was being played in the stadium prior to 2005, but the "We Are Penn State" chant during the song wasn't added in until 2005. I was a student for the 01-04 seasons and, though I don't know when exactly it started, it was definitely played while I was in the student section and took me a while to get used to the chant in the middle when coming back for games after graduation.

And th millennial are watching English football in droves. With no piped in music and just the crowd for atmosphere

Completely agree....and it's entirely too loud...and I'm a headbanger !!!!!

Fully agree with you both. It's constant and a sensory overload. They have it blaring until the ball is snapped. It's too loud and we need a bit of down time every now and then.

The first time I recall significant piped in music was on October 10, 1992 when visiting Miami came to Beaver Stadium. For some reason, the powers-that-be decided it was a great idea to pipe in rap music. And which of the 2 teams on the field do you think appreciated it most and fed off it? Yep, Miami. They beat us 17-14 that day and gave us our first loss of the season.

You are correct. I remember it well and was stunned by it.

who is the decision maker(s) on this? is it realistic to assume that a wave of complaints would eliminate this piped in music??? again, i dont see this in many other places. in BAMA vs FSU the two bands were prominent throughout.

WHO wants piped in music???

Alabama and Florida State played at a neutral site. What do they do at home. FSU nauseates you with the chop. Alabama ?

No you get it

its the perceived notion that Millenials want this therefore it must be done.

Problem with that is 51% Millenials don't know what they want, and they certainly do not know college football, they only know what they want to "experience" You want sweet caroline" go to a karaoke bar. You want the PA lottery sponsoring beat the clock with a skit that doesn't beat any clock then go to your local high school amateur hour.

I too want to hear the band play during down moments of the game

The gameday experience is becoming more embarrassing (from a PSU alumni perspective)every year. At least if your gonna do that stuff, then do it professionally and not half assed.

filling every minute of the game is not a requirement.

I don't care for the piped in music but it's not because I want to hear the band. I just don't see a need for not stop noise. I'm more fed up with the timeouts. Way too many breaks and these games go on forever.

Just a small observation. The games aren't too long. The broadcast is too long.

I get into the stadium early just to hear the warm up playlist. The new atmosphere is what brings the recruits in as well. So i'm all on board!

Oh. Your the guy.
