Something I noticed watching the Quooks play UCLA... they have ads in the endzones only, and their jumbotron seems to play a lot of game highlights and not so much smile cam. Also, other than "Shout" between 3Q and 4Q, no piped in music over the PA. You could actually hear the band on TV. And the crowd noise. Lots of crowd noise.

Fuck.

During the UW game coming back from break I never heard the band and heard them playing music over the PA. It's no longer a college game at all.

Going to games due to the product and the Marinerization they have done to that stadium is why I won't be going to games for a long time.

I always thought the band was kind of gay ($75,000) and they have sucked for years, so I don't mind them getting phased out, but the Marinerization aspect has me no longer interested in going to games. I have had a couple opportunities to go to games this year, but chose not to because it's no fun to travel and spend a weekend to watch mediocre football when I can watch it at home.

I will be back for the Apple Cup, but won't be attending that game either. I don't give a fuck about all the amenities of the new stadium or how nice it is acceptable to be 7-6. The new stadium is just polishing a turd.
