My high school had an incredible marching band, won all kinds of competitions, the director got tons of offers from colleges. I think he was a demanding guy, but not a douche. But it seems like lots of band directors are douches.
Not that I really care all that much, but they built a special area for the K-State band, and put them in a place where the whole stadium could hear them, and at moments during the game hearing them is a good. But he moved the band right back to where for a good portion of the stadium, the band is just some droning down below.
Are there any quotes as to why they moved back to the stupid section?
Tracz never wanted to be in that section then when student ticket sales started to really tank it made the choice to give in to Tracz and move the band back a very easy call. Before they moved the band back there were many games where section 28 was straight empty, not kind of empty but completely empty.
I don't think the band will ever go back. I'd like to see us convert that space into another premium seating area instead of the ga spillover it currently is.
IMO the band belongs in the NEZ directly behind the endzone. Would be best acoustics for everyone.
Make the student section smaller by 1/2 a section to make up for the added seats from the band.
Agreed, both EZ corners should be premium seating. Find a way to retro fit some loge boxes in the NE corner and call it good. crap, I’d buy those seats if they could figure out a way to get some shade over there.
