Quit your whining about the size of the screen, music, ads…etc. everything was amazing. The program and facilities are moving forward and it’s beautiful.

Amen!


I cant believe people are actually complaining about it?! I thought it was absolutely incredible.
The music was a bit loud. Most of time it was acceptable but there were times the volume was too much….when you have to yell to talk to person sitting beside you is kinda a tell. The family sitting next to us with two youngsters left before first half because kids had fingers in the ears and couldn’t bear it. Just a fact.

I say this as somebody who has young kids at the games pretty often, if they can’t handle the speaker sound, they’re certainly not going to be able to handle the sound of the crowd during a good game. I thought the scoreboard, speakers, and music, was great.

The speakers were louder than any crowd that I have ever heard even during its peak crowd noise time……at least where we sit.
At times they were a bit much. I want the two young ladies with their cheer uniforms on to come to a future game and hopefully they will. And now you can lecture me about ear plugs and head phones etc etc etc. Just telling you how it was where we were.

The announcer was noticeably louder on TV. It really really came through. That a lone told me how much crisp and louder the volume was. I think it’s legitimate gripes that you can’t talk to people next to you or kids have to plug their ears. I think it’s game one and those things could be tweaked. After two decades of MSU hearing from the fans how bad the sound was, I’m sure they went for it a bit last night. Easy adjustments though.


Hating the griz since 02.

Agreed. Maybe some didn’t notice but the other thing I liked was you could actually hear the referee make the call on the field which was great! A few times the mic connection was garbled but for the most part I appreciated actually hearing and understanding the call.

The bobcat head on top of the scoreboard doesn’t light up and there are way too many paid sponsorships diluting the screen. The asphalt added a lot of heat to the tailgating experience. The “BOBCATS” inlay is already cracking. The south scoreboard didn’t work. The 18-23 year olds on my favorite team gave up too many points and didn’t score enough in the second half to make me happy. They ran out of turkey legs. And when the heck are we replacing the east side and bowling in the NEZ.
You forgot to add that the goal post uprights are too short :-^ :-^ :-^ .

Gotta agree with this. Things are pretty darned nice there.

How could I forget about that?? Thank you for calling me out for overlooking such a blatant shortcoming of Bobcat athletic facilities….

Excellent game day experience yesterday. Everything totally changes the dynamic of the stadium from inside out.

Took some time to get used to the new scoreboard but I like the size.

Sound system very loud and very clear. The blaring rap "music" prior to the game was more than my ears could take though.

I can't imagine that this is what the majority of Cat fans want to hear, especially since it's so loud you can talk to the guy next to you.
Hate to break it to you but pregame music is for players and they do not care one bit about what fans like during that time.

Came here to say this. I am late to the game.

New scoreboard and sound system were awesome. The video they played before the players ran out got me hyped, was ready to suit up myself ( as the water boy, the playing days are WELL behind me)

Heck, I would be good for one play as long as it is close to the ambulance.
