If I wanted this atmosphere I'd go to an Arena League game!

Hey, it goes with that "Pro" atmosphere we're trying to create. You know, 
loud rock music, introduction music, manufactured entertainment. 

I haven't been to a home game in a while, but let me guess. Some players 
have a theme song that gets played after they make a big play. That'd be 
original. 

We're just missing fake fog for the guys to run out into. That'd just be 
all that phat, wouldn't it? 

These guys (Husker Vision) have all these toys now. You think they're not 
going to use them? And if you want to hear the band, you need to go to 
wherever they're playing BEFORE the game, not during. 

Screw tradition, man. People want to be entertained. 

Personally, I won't attend a Vikings game because of it. Canned crap, too 
loud, not a moment without something being blared somewhere. I can leave 
the "pro" environment and not be bothered, but that's what we're all 
selling these days. God help us if we're left out and some 17 year old kid 
doesn't get recruited because a bigscreen is too small.
