Maybe "quality" was worse, but I couldn't care less about sound quality at a stadium, I just want to hear what the penalties are, who made the tackle, etc.

This. Neighborhood north and east of the stadium doesn't like fun.

but the pa guy is louder than the music... so is the band

The speakers are way too loud, if you're sitting in the NEZ.

I wonder why they didn't put speakers on SEZ sign?

Because you'd run into weird sound delays as the waves travel north and south

There's gotta be a way to get speakers in other areas - top of the bleachers?

Top of the press box makes the most sense

Everything was fine before the new scoreboards went up.

Nah, it was bad back then too.

Weird. I can only tell what song's playing about half the time

BYUCougarsFan

It's because they only have speakers in the NEZ sign. It's plenty loud when

It wasn't that bad with the old scoreboard. But, this one only has the speakers

One complaint?

One fixable complaint. Nothing we can do about a couple of stupid fans.

Is it different now? I sat in the north end zone and nobody stood up during the

The "band" playing Popcorn as a part of its repertoire really consists

ByuMba90

Yeah. Mostly just them playing between virtually every play bothers me a tad.

BYUCougarsFan

9/30/14 2:39pm

To be fair, the music that would get you excited is likely the kind of music

ByuMba90

9/30/14 2:42pm

Haha, you blue hairs.

BYUCougarsFan

9/30/14 2:43pm

That's it, I'm sending an email telling the band to start playing more.....

ByuMba90

As long as they play real music too, I'm okay with that
