But how did he like his seats in the west side lower bowl?
Flame away, but I find much of our in-game experience to be a complete beatdown. When play has stopped, there is an almost constant barrage of advertisementts, of "fans, direct your attention to the south endzone".... "fans, direct your attention to the north endzone"... "fans, it's time for the kiss cam." Music is played through the loudspeaker often while the band is playing (or maybe the band is playing over the loudspeaker, but either way you get the same result). At times the energy gets sucked out of the stadium because they'll start the barrage while fans are already making noise. It kills the flow, momentum, etc. of the crowd.
Rant over. I don't complain about it, as I assume those responsible have put much thought into balancing the overall fan experience, advertising $$$, etc. I get that there are necessary evils in supporting a robust athletic budget. But it doesn't make it any less of a beatdown.
I'd much rather hear all that stuff than listen to the UT band blaring or hear the UT fans get one of their group cheers going.Flame away, but I find much of our in-game experience to be a complete beatdown.

Having watched TCU games since the mid 1950's, I can say that our in game experience is light years away from where it used to be and its far superior to our efforts of years gone byFlame away, but I find much of our in-game experience to be a complete beatdown.

I've said it in the million other threads that complain about our gameday experience, but it always blows my mind how many people actually pay attention to every little detail outside of the actual football game. I guess I'm just too busy talking to my wife/kids/friends/those around me, or something, but I hardly ever recall anything outside of who the "give em hell TCU" guest is, and certain things on the video board. I'm sure I notice most things at the time, but I guess I don't give enough of a darn about most of that to remember it.
I do hate the Go-Frogs guy, though.
Admit it Riggs, the alcohol is helping.

You know what this gameday experience needs?
