Piped music doesn’t belong in Tiger StadiumIn response to the article on playing piped music in Tiger Stadium, I believe that it is totally anti-LSU. I remember the days when I was a little kid and arriving into Tiger Stadium an hour before the game to listen to the band play. Now it seems like the band is struggling to get a song out over the music playing over the loudspeakers. It is a slap in the face to the band. It is almost like they are slowly drowning out the band from the stadium.The music gives the LSU games the sense of a NFL game, which, to me, in the biggest difference between college football and the NFL, besides the money. It crushes the element of what makes Tiger Stadium the most electric athletic venue in the World. I heard a man saying how he has been to every SEC football   Stadium over the past couple of years and LSU was the only one that didn’t pipe music through the loud speakers. He was sad to see we were starting to go with the trend. LSU has a new face in college football. We’re bigger, better, faster and a contender; but lets not lose who we are in the hype. What makes Tiger Stadium is the band playing to electrify the crowd and sending chills down the back of your neck when you hear the sudden roar. When the music plays over the loud speakers, it is vanishing the voices of the crowd. The fans screaming is LSU football. We are known for being loud. Other teams dread coming to play here, however, we can lose this element on the path we are on. By the way, what happened to the “Welcome to Death Valley” sign we used to hang on the West Upper Deck, or are we drowning out that fact that they call us Death Valley for a reason as well?Ben Navoarchitecture sophomore—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s opinion staff at [email protected]
