I haven't noticed any difference other than they can't do the giant flag thing that they were doing for a few years. That was kinda cool, but I don't think it's a huge deal. Atmosphere wise is no different IMO.
Student Section Complaint Thread

Probably could put the band in the first few rows of the SEZ. Those guys don't come out of the Sukup area except for a couple plays and there are always empty seats. Make the place deeper and sell tickets just to that area since some people don't use their seats.
Yes, last time I went to an ISU game I went out a week later and bought noise cancelling 3M AM/FM headset for the next game I go to. I then emailed the email and the reply back was basically, 'we disagree'. I was sure they would fix things up this year, but clearly not.
Was Kansas State forced to move their student section? Their setup is almost exactly like ours was.
Where the band was. Knock those down and you can hot tub under JPs deck.
From my experiences in the Jack the issue seems to be in the upper deck corners. It is LOUD up there but the rest of the stadium doesn't seem so bad.
We're not talking about where the student section is during the game. We're talking about how/where they come on to the field after the game.
I was in B, so I agree this makes perfect sense.
Was going to pick up better tickets next time which will probably be OU.
Honestly, the university run game environment provides zero to fan engagement. The music and the time it's played is horrible, the speaker system is ****** to begin with, the cheers and the chants other than a well done "cyclone power" are not good. Time to replace whatever boomer is in charge of this stuff and get someone young in with more creative ideas.
They could do the giant flag thing by starting with a higher row in the lower level. Or from the front row of the upper deck.
Why you know it was two pronged. One was safety, to avoid the student, opposing player crossings and second was money. If it was strictly safety of opposing fans, move the students to the west. Would still cover that, Or flip flop the east. That would have moved me, but I would have had the same seats but on the north 15 yard line instead of south 15. Wouldn't have affected me much at all. People on the 30-40s would have seen basically no change.
The student section needs to get strategic about stomping its feet. Ben Bruns said at the time when they were building the SEZ that they made the lower level out of metal so that it would be noisy. The students could affect the outcome of the game if they maximized the noise that would come from stomping their feet when an opponent has the ball on that end.
We run through like 8 songs in 3 minutes right before the game, it's really odd.
It's a legit complaint, the volume needs to be dialed back a little.
I wasn't there but the bad calls seemed to sour things and then Baylor did a good job of not letting ISU really have any real momentum.
BU was only 5/13 on 3rd downs but it felt like the ones they hit really took the air out.
So why not move them directly opposite, to the west side of the field? Same location near the band and away form the oppossing team.
I was up in the middle of the upper deck in 2019 and the speaker sound was pretty awful. Add in that the music sounded like something from a bar in Cedar Rapids circa 2005 and it was just annoying.
It felt like I was at a game where they were trying too hard to provide an atmosphere without there just being one since the team was decent.
To some extent, you also want them in view of the primary TV cameras (which are all on the west side, facing east) for atmosphere/reax shots.
