First, what else can he say? He could say nothing, so it's awesome that he's publicly acknowledging the part the band plays for the atmosphere. Second, the main complaints about the MI as they currently exist are mostly about the halftime shows, which Bret will never even see. From a self avowed band nerd perspective, their shows have gone down hill quite a bit since Gary Smith retired. Houser gets edgy with his loud chords when the opposing team is in the north endzone, which is awesome. Hope they keep doing it and get a warning every Saturday.

Losing War Chant was indeed a stupid thing to get rid of. We could easily have quit using it on third downs, but continued to use it for the team entrance and other key moments of the game. It literally has no words, so it is hard to see why it was offensive, if it indeed it was.

The really cool part is that we're spending time talking about the marching band, because the product on the field appears to finally be relevant, so there are other things that can ben critiqued!
I think one of the challenges to the Memorial Stadium game day experience is the loss of long time traditions without replacements.

So, do we know if these are real, thought through renovations or like NEZ-type renovations?
Interesting non-details from the Campus Landscape Master Plan of the south end of Memorial Stadium. Shows a new entrance plaza from Assembly Hall (or SFC if it has to be called that) to the stadium alond with "future building" in the horseshoe area.
