Greatest thing!!!!!!

I think next time they should play it once in the dark.

At the break in the storm part they should put the spotlight on Willie and do a quick KSU Wildcats cheer.

Then turn on a laser light show as it runs through the second half of the song and then put the spotlight back on our Final Four trophies in darkness for the last 10 seconds........

Your Welcome!!!!

I especially liked the students with HCPIQ that used their flashlight app with the strobe light option  :love:

Whoever decided that turning off the lights during pregame is impossible can eff off in my book.

Turn 'em off. After tonight in the Bram, there is no other choice.

Not impossible, but impractical. The current lights don't have shutters on them to block the light, to go dark they must be actually turned off. Then its takes 20-30 minutes to warm up and get bright enough to meet minimum game lighting. Not practical when starting lineups are done right before tipoff.

Adding shutters to the lights is relatively expensive, but is on the list of possible improvements to Bramlage (list includes videoboard, concourse, and yes, hanging banners)

When they do the shutters, we need to have the lasers that project a powercat onto the floor like the old school Bulls did.

So it should be no problem then once the light shutters are in place.  :thumbs:

Adding shades to cover light fixtures doesn't seem like it should be anything near "expensive." Damn unions.
