As for RJS... I sit in the south endzone and you can't hear HOT at all from their seats. pretty sure those mics are for tv not the stadium. HOT needs to be out of the corner and in the endzone, in the middle of the student section, not an afterthought You can't hear HOT on TV... and the mic's for other programs are for the stadium's PA system so you can hear them on TV.... if USF would take a cue from every other college football program then we would be able to hear HOT in the stadium and on TV. Only time you can hear them is when ESPN sets up a handheld clear dish guy in the corner end-zone in front of them... otherwise you'll be lucky to hear them. About where they sit, I agree... HOT should be in the middle of the student section like most every other college does... not stuck over in a corner.

We (When I was in the bad) used to be in the middle of the student section, but were them moved to the corner because of "security." Also, it was a slow transition to have to exit the field through a tunnel, then have to go up the ramps/escalator, through the crowd/student section/consession stands and into the seats behind the goal posts. There are stairs for the band to move up into the corner section, hence why they were moved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta admit....It was a lot more awesome sitting in the middle of the student section. The band projected much better throughout the stadium. Plus, if you made friends with the elevator guy you could beat the rest of the stadium to the section and have tuba section solos playing whatever the hell we felt like playing...

The stairs are not permitted behind the goal posts for safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stairs are not permitted behind the goal posts for safety reasons. Most college stadiums have gates and at least portable stairs behind the end-zones for their bands to come directly down and onto the field... I'm not sure how much that would set back USF to do, or if the TSA/Papa Glazier would even allow it but that is what needs to be done. (a) cut gate (B )install metal gate in opening (C ) purchase a collapsible step to be placed at the opening to let HOT in and out Problem solved Edited August 30, 2012 by Bubba Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the South Endzone you can't hear HOT at all. Wish we could. Love the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be the reason for keeping the band quiet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
