ND didn't play any advertisements or Kiss Cam type things on the jumbotron.

I was assured by a certain 70's poster here that putting up a jumbotron would do these things. And that people would never be able to pay attention to the game on the field. They would be too busy just looking at the screen

Oh it happened. You just didn’t see it

It was subliminal between the pixelation

I'm surprised the stadium is still standing after putting up a jumbotron and adding field turf.

unfortunately the people that seemed to complain about it the most still buy tickets and yell at people that enjoy the upgrades for standing too much
 
What's the point of attacking posters who are married to what they deem tradition? There are a ton of advertisements, only they are called Public Service Announcements for the university. Same ones all season long. I had a wait and see attitude. I was sold at the scrimmage where the Jumbo was introduced to the public for the first time. After the BYU game and the mud field that turned to concrete, not many bellowed against a new playing surface. We all knew something had to be done. Just because some fans are not sold at the very first idea doesn't make them idiots. It makes them cautious, sometimes skeptical. You know, many were against Wrigley Field getting lights. I still don't like the ND home night games all that much but I get why they have them scheduled. I don't get the player walk through the stands during pre-game. What's the point? I don't like that our scoreboard operator is so damn slow when it comes to down and yardage. It's almost like Criqui is running the scoreboard. Give fans a break without trying to call them out. Everyone is different and everyone has their own opinions. Someday, you're going to be the guy sitting in cold weather yelling at the guy in front to sit down. And yea, here it comes. It's going to happen.

"ND didn't play any advertisements or Kiss Cam type things on the jumbotron."

I bet 78 has to be beside himself!

You have many complaints. Why do you buy tickets?

After attending for over 50 years, I have earned my stripes to wonder why programs do the things they do. Like that stupid gimmicky chain that Miami has. What the hell? When you finally get to a game, let me know how much you enjoy trying to figure out down a distance when the scoreboard is a play behind often, not always. More than need be let's say. Then, I want you to give a legit reason why players are walking through the stands on wet slick surfaces like yesterday to get to the field for pre-game. Or do you just goose step to anything and everything with nodding approval?

Stop your bitching or give up going.
 
OK tough guy. You're all in and anybody else has to follow or get out. Nice try....but no. Go to an actual game and then we can discuss game day situations. I will take note how you avoided the Miami chain gimmick explanation or even the ND player entrance into the stadium pre-game because you didn't even know they did that.

I took 7 family members out to a game last year and we had a blast. Stop your bitching or don't buy tickets. What do you want a gold watch because you go to every game? :eek:

Who cares about the chain ? That's Miami's business just like 33 trucking is nds business.
 
Is it possible for you message board geniuses to have a topic followed by a discussion without insults and and a full out verbal war starting? You guys are some of the most immature over sensitive anonymous easily angered people around. It instantly becomes war with you people. I love the Jumbo and turf but hate the player pre-game entrance. So what? I think the down and yardage scoreboard guy needs to be retrained. You guys are the same people who constantly bitch about Criqui. Quit your complaining. Right? I don't get the chain. So what? You're offended that I don't like the chain? How many times have I heard you complain about other programs unies or bands or mascots? I going to keep on keepin' on. It's only a message board discussion so don't get your leggings in a twisted bunch. And yes, a gold watch would be nice. Are you offering?

I'm far from offended. It's just another gimmick. No different than 33 or ND giving a player the #1 jersey last year. People not allowed to disagree ?

The "33" is not a gimmick. It's a Heisman promotion with monies earned going to charity. Jumping up and down on the sidelines is a gimmick. Not sure, but isn't the #1 jersey usually a reward and earned? Not sure how all the programs around the country award the #1 jersey. ND is not beyond gimmicks. That's for sure. I just don't get the reason for them. On a humorous turn in this topic, didn't writers of the time think that Rockne's forward pass was a gimmick and surely not going to last? I would just like to know BKs reasoning for sending his players down a wet and slippery cement stadium bleacher surface in order to get to the field. I know fans love it that know about it. The players walk gingerly on nice days let alone on rainy cold days. I see it up close every game because it's the next section over. If anybody has a reasonable answer, chime in.

The chain is a reward for being responsible for a turnover. It's obviously a bonding thing for their defense. Seems to be working pretty well for them.

And I see you are trying really hard to be the board tough guy. I'll say what I want and when I want within the board rules. Hold your breath. Stomp your feet. Throw things at your computer. That's the way it's going to be my man. Middle school mayhem doesn't work with me. You want to discuss like an adult with a fellow Irish fan, let's discuss. Otherwise, just put me on ignore and go and TRY to bully someone else.
