I sit in the South endzone... or should I say I used to sit in the South endzone and while there I could not hear HOT for ****... if the crowd chatter does not drown them out then its the ****** PA announcer talking over them while they are trying to get the crowd into the game and pumped up.
They should be mic'd up so you can hear the band over everything... its also not an amateur thing, Texas A&M, U of Texas, LSU, VT, and UGA are some big name programs that have mic'd up their bands.
