I must be EXTREMELY late to the party, for I watched at a bar with no sound. Did they really pipe in music, most specifically Ozzy?

If you love the first 10-15 seconds of crazy train, you totally missed out man.

Fighting IRISH: instead of commercial rock music that we hear everywhere else, how about we scower to find some Celtic uptempo music, with a ROCK edge preferably,that people would thus easily identify to NOTRE DAME, like Michigan, FSU , PSU have specific songs they chose to be identiified to. Also, not blue, not black, not gold (we got helmets for that), but GREEN towels or any other panapheralia (sp.?); as for people in the stands: (kelly) GREEN shirts or jerseys, especially for the students.

Jumbotron

Time to not only improve atmosphere, but to rebuild the Stadium's identity , not copy others

Branding 101

Just my 2cents from some canadian lifelong fan whp's yet to go to the stadium but hopes these changes are made by the time his boy is old enough to go with him

Feel free to copy my ideas and send to Mr. Seamon (really, Seamon? no comment)

You missed out over, and over, and over and over, and over.

 

[CarrollVermin]

Is this where we also request a Jumbotron?

Everything they did was an added plus. Yes, I am still singing Crazy Train, but it helped the stadium.

I would like them to do away with the presentations of alumni and such during timeouts. Get them all over and done with at the beginning of the game and then focus on amping the stadium during the LONG NBC timeouts.

Why don't we focus on winning?

if you don't think the two go hand in hand then I can't help you

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

We won without all the shenanigans before. I think some of it helps in recruiting, but a shiny new helmet does nothing on the field. I'm not going to say that I don't enjoy all of the improvements and glad its happening. I guess I'm just very frustrated.

 

[zemaniak]

past is the past.

We need to evolve and reinvent ND, all the while keeping our brand unique, not simply copying others, as that just makes us look desperate.

Difficult, but definitely possible. Find a marketing genius and give him the reigns for crissakes! (pun intended)

I love the fact they are trying new things, but I wish they had put as much thought into the choice of music/ The "shirt", etc., as they had into the helmets.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Well lets just put it this way. In the past in this game we generally get recruits to commit from this game. We changed everything for the game to help with recruiting and haven't landed one recruit. Now I understand a lot of the guys probably won't commit until February but not a one from this game seems insane.

 

[zemaniak]

we came out flat played a mistake prone game and got beat by a team on probation, what do you expect?

Plus nowadays, recruits take their time, this is a 365 day sell, and based on BKs performance last year, I trust he and his staff will prusue until the last minute (or 4 hours past that if need be lol)

I don't doubt BK does a good job this season in recruiting. Just hope this loss didn't hurt us in the grand scheme of things.

 

[TerryTate]

Oh, I gave feedback.

Thanks for the link BGIF.

 

[AvesEvo]

Thanks BGIF.

Does this involve the coaches or players? This is interaction between the fans and a guy who is in charge of the gameday atmosphere. I don't see what your beef is.

yep beating teams at home might help with the crowd!!!!

 

[Damion704]

People damn. Just give your feedback to the guy. Its not like BK is asking for this feedback.

 

[TerryTate]

Grow up and write a well thought out email.

You guys whine about this stuff all the time on the forum. Tell it to someone who "cares"

It's not that good. Many things could be improved.

Even as a student, it wasn't that loud... except for '05 USC game. That was loud.
