[QUOTE="Sybok, post: 1409165, member: 6655"] Speaking as a season ticket holder, there is plenty of that at the game. They should consider limiting the band to change of possession/TD type of things and let the people in charge of the soundboard do more. If you can think about all the comments regarding the gray hairs at the basketball games always sitting down and not being loud, it's a similar thing that happens at the football games. Having been at more than my fair share of Bears games, I am dumbfounded by how many Illinois fans just want to sit at the ball games and observe. Finally late in the 4th quarter with a defensive stand needed, out of nowhere, the shot a video of Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation actor/UI grad) pumping up the crowd to stand up and make a bunch of noise. It was pretty awesome. Well, maybe 1/3 of the crowd was compelled to stand up. It was sad. The game was on the line and people didn't even want to stand. I don't blame anyone at DIA/MS game day for that. I just can't understand why a crowd would not want to stand and yell to create a home field advantage for the home team they paid to watch and hopefully see a win. [/QUOTE]
