Kinda

More like lacking in charm.

Granted I don't get to go as much as I did from 2000-2007, but every time I go the changes are more noticeable than the similarities.

You get7 Nation Army for kickoffs and Hell’s Bells on every defense third down instead of the band. You get commercials, trams recognition, vids of past plays, give away stuff to goofy people in the stands, and canned music to keep the kids interested. They blast the npose and leave the band in miked.

Both of those things can be true.
And I think both are true.

Also, I'm sure the shoe was rocking pretty good in 2016 for The Game. And 2017 for Oklahoma. 2017 for Penn State, probably?
We're probably not where we used to be, volume-wise, but when we need it, we can find it.

I'm interested in seeing that. Because part of me believes, you, and part of me thinks that OSU won't have anything as crazy as Oregon or LSU at night due to all of the rich old people not wanting the stadium too loud. I remember being at the OSU-USC game in the Shoe, and that was obscenely loud, that is a LONG time ago at this juncture.

The timeouts are the only time the band is generally allowed to play.

They traded in a top-5 hostile environment for something that's rapidly becoming The Schott, which still gets loud for top games. It was a lucrative trade, but one they won't ever get back.

They'll never have crowds like USC 09 or Texas 05 ever again.

I was at Texas 05. My ears were ringing for days.

They should ask the kids if the canned music is interesting to them, because their answer will be "not so much" -- I haven't been to a game this year but my kid reports its actually a little better than in the past as far as the obnoxious commercial breaks and the screamy announcer guy.

The 20 second samples of random songs between plays are a real turn off for me. Let the marching bands play.
