Or maybe its bc this is the school of joe montana and tony rice and people are sick of suck ass qb play at the original QB you.

Didn’t we half ass invent the forward pass

We haven't been QB U for a long, long time, sadly. The last NFL QB from ND to do anything of note was Rick Mirer 30 years ago, and that was just a Rookie of the Year.

You nailed it per the usual

The 'Notre Disney' aspect of ND stadium is increasingly pronounced. The Jumbotron (which I never wanted in the first place, but whatever) should not be used to blast music non-stop during breaks in play. The whole thing needs to be scaled back radically. Meanwhile, they won't show replays of the Cal catches/non-catches.

They have shown controversial plays in past games, but I wasn't at Cal. I wasn't a big fan of the Jumbotron at first either, but as Lou says "You're either growing or you're dying." Refusing to adjust with the times will not help us win championships. I love the band, but there does appear to be more energy when we use the Jumbotron to pick up the crowd. Scaling back a bit to give the band more time wouldn't be an awful thing.

A lot of the music choices they make are strange and stale. First off it's obnoxiously loud (same can be said for many cfb stadiums) and I'm tired of the six flags music on every single third down stop. A couple other songs they play situationally over and over again. Just mix it up a bit. At least change it season to season...

I like the jumbotron but can't really speak to the replays as I've only been to a couple games since it was installed.

 

[NDPhilly]

The music + sound effect selection is cringe-inducingly bad. Its important to get it right too since ND isnt exactly looked at as the "coolest" program to play at. I have to image Marcus Freeman against Marshall had "wtf are they playing on 3rd downs" pop into his head at times.

 

[arrowryan]

Whoever is responsible for the music and the Jumbotron needs to be fired immediately.

Instead of making it feel like we are at a club, they need to make it feel hostile for the visiting team.

Also, opposing fans have noted that the concessions are bad. I don't buy concessions, and I haven't been to many other stadiums. How bad are they? Thoughts on this issue?

Had a pretzel last year that was inedible. I'm not really picky at all and I couldn't finish it

 

[zelezo vlk]

They’re so bland. But I thought I read that they’re bringing in more food into the stadium for this season.

They're just mad we don't sell booze.

 

[stpeteirish]

ND fans living up to their well deserved reputation of complaining about everything.

Reminds me of leaving the stadium after the 31-30 Miami game listening to a guy behind me complaining about the defense giving up too much yardage.

Whoever oversees the concession stands should be fired. Got in line before halftime and didn’t get back to our seats until 5 minutes into the third quarter. We were the 13th person in line and it took 25+ min…

Anyone at the Bookstore take too long to ring someone up? Fired....

Perhaps the ticket taker scanned a ticket poorly? Fired......

This is wealthy, supposedly well run (lol) football program. It shouldn't take 25 minutes to buy a pretzel or whatever. Fix that. And no more 4th down music. At least once they realized that Cal was going for it on 4th down that time they cut it.

This Touchdown Jesus guy seems to celebrate regardless of who's winning. In fact, I'm starting to suspect he's not paying attention to the game at all. Scratch him let's test the waters to see if another deity can do better.

Last year during the Purdue game my wife offered to go get us drinks with about 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. (We were in the corner staring into the sun, so it was pretty warm.) She came back with two diet cokes as halftime was wrapping up. The wait is obscene.

 

[dublinirish]

if you wanna eat go to Olive Garden. A proper ND fan is hungry for WINS not Diet Cokes

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I never eat at the game, way too expensive for garbage quality food and the lines are ridiculous.

Best option is to tailgate your ass off and don't go to the stadium hungry. You can even bring in your own waters as long as the bottle cap is sealed.

 

[stlnd01]

I haven't been to a home game in a few years, and rarely bought food when I did for all the reasons above, but do they still have volunteer groups running a lot of the concession stands as, like, fundraisers? We should totally fire the Boy Scouts and those nice people from the Logan Center.

 

[IrishSpartan]

want a fun game day atmosphere… sell beer, easy as that hell have a local brewery do it and make it an NIL opportunity.

Al Golden

Mason

Mason is safe since the punter is the mvp so far

Correct
But week 1 people were lived about Mason and the return game (poor field position)
That's what he meant by that one

Damn. Godspeed former new coordinator

I like the loud jumbotron personally. Don't mind the music, but definitely need to switch up the 3rd down choice.

I don't mind it, either. Whatever works to get the crowd amped and make it as tough on the visiting opponents as possible.

I lost my voice on Saturday from yelling so loud.

"DO YOUR FUCKING JOB." (as a member of the crowd)
