[NU Sports] annoying fans and PA announcers

Wed Oct 19 11:09:14 CDT 2005

I attended the Michigan-Penn State game last week at the
"Big House" in Ann Arbor.  There is NO advertising anywhere--
not on billboards nor the scoreboard nor over the PA system.
I know that their revenue stream situation cannot be compared
to Northwestern's, but still . . . it was WONDERFUL.

The two scoreboards do replays, but ONLY for plays that were
positive for Michigan--none of the Penn State touchdowns or
negative-yardage defensive plays were shown.

There's definitely advertising both on the board and via the PA, not to
mention sponsored promotions (like the pass, punt, and kick
competition, etc.), nothing new there. And I don't really have a
problem with it.
