Student Section Complaint Thread

If it were easy to put a hard camera on the opposite side, they'd do it everywhere.
I'm not knowledgeable on camera placement, and I'm honestly not understanding the problem. What makes it so difficult?
Well, we aren't allowed to tackle the same as other teams on the field, so no reason they can't make our students move, while allowing other teams' students to stay behind the visiting bench.
You're wanting to put a camera on the opposite side of the stadium from the production truck.
There's no built-in place for it, like there are on the west side (photo bay and two platforms) and in the end zones (above the scoreboard). There are also cable runs and hookups to ponder.
It's a lot of extra work if the goal is just to shoot the student section.
Okay...then why not have one of the cameras on the local side have pivoting capabilities?
By the way, what camera is taking pictures of our bench? Wouldn't that camera also be able to show the students if they were in the NW corner?
It really feels like you're making it harder than it is. Again, I'm no expert.
Nebraska was awful. One of my friends was a flag twirler in the band and a couple of their fans tried to tear her uniform shirt off her when we were leaving the stadium.
Last Saturday, I specifically looked at the student section while the band was doing cyclone aerobics, I'd say at most 5% of them were engaged while it used to be a fully coordinated effort. The current layout has definitely severed that connection. I'd like to see students moved to the NW corner as previously suggested.
Even so, the crowd in general was solid and raucous when it mattered, particularly after the BS calls in the first half.
To further pile on the sound system, it is so loud and distorted I can't talk to the people next to me without yelling over the constant stream of ads and disjointed music selection. I'm in my 30s, can't imagine the experience for older folks.
Last, the TJ Tampa "make some noise" clip is insanely distorted.

I'm in section 4, so I wouldn't want this, but they should have put the students on the West side of hte stadium and left the band alone. Would have been a very similar experience.
Now that's too late, so they'd be better off to put the band in the SW corner of the stadium. Somewhat near the students.
I like the grass, but if they bowled in the north grass and put the students in there, it would work.
Or hire some of those house-moving guys you see on TV and swap the Bergman and the SEZ. That would work too
I'm in Section 1 so I would be opposed to losing our seats. We chose our seats so my kids could play on the hillside. That hillside is pretty popular for kids because they can get hi fives and gloves from players.
I think they should split the students up with the Sukup end zone. Half on one side and half on the other, but that ship has probably sailed.
In an ideal world, I'd love to have students on both the north and south ends of the field.
We should have just flipped students to the same sections on the west side.
Big 12 Announces Public Reprimand and Fine of Texas Tech

“We have a duty to provide a safe game environment,” said Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark. “The Texas Tech Department of Athletics has a written event management policy that, while well thought out, was unsuccessful in ensuring the safety and security of all visiting team student-athletes, officials, coaches and staff. There is zero tolerance for any act that compromises the safety of game participants, and it is of utmost importance that home game management provide adequate security measures for our student-athletes, coaches, game officials and spectators.”
If they had to move….It does begs the question, why didn’t they just move the students directly across to the West side? They could still interact with the band and be facing the opponent.
That works. Also, waving three fingers on third down doesnt do much, I would rather the studentsmake more noise in that situation. They are usually the loudest sections, but seem quieter on 3rd downs.
Front row of D last year, halfway down 8 this year. Both equally bad.
