Yes the northeast corner of the stadium positions the visiting band in such away as they acoustically face towards most of the seats in the stadium like they are using a loudspeaker and the 200 level is hardly nosebleed, it’s at the same level as the empty chair back seats for the westside club seats. Our band is positioned to where they face the southwest side 100 section and without amplification 3/4ths of the stadium wouldn’t even hear them. Placing the visiting band in the 400 level of the northwest side of stadium is the nosebleeds and is where a large number of the visitors seats are already allocated. As far as shade that is one of the last sections to get shade during afternoon games.
And Dutch, respectively, I hardly enjoy listening to Boomer Sooner, Fight Raiders Fight, or The Eyes of Texas 100 times a game so I won’t miss that a bit. The Southern and Grambling bands were enjoyable as they played music along with their team songs. Most visiting bands for the larger colleges just play boring fight songs nowadays and drown out our band.
