The whole atmosphere yesterday was pretty blah so I'd guess that also gives the student section a pass this week
It sounded like a pretty mediocre crowd on TV but wasn't sure if that was ESPN+. Granted the first 3 quarters didn't have much to cheer about

Worst move ever for football atmosphere, separating the band and the students. JFC, we're an engineering school, other options should have been explored.
Its already been solved, you setup 3 rows of risers below the students and part of south end zone on the field. Then you setup North endzone with a stage and a speaker array and fix the sound system.

Steve Aoki to DJ during the game and at halftime?

Our home wins this season have had a pretty blah quality to them, for whatever reason. Even back when we were 3-0 and optimism for the rest of the season was still high.

Bad weather leading up to the game, bad opponent, bad season. It was ok considering everything. I was expecting worse.

Low stakes, blowouts, and/or poor offense. Similar to a game at Hilton, it's about momentum, and we haven't been able to string 2-3 moments together that gets the crowd in a frenzy.

Havve they done this before or is this part of these new crowd control measures? Seems a little like overkill for this particular game but maybe they heard some chatter about kids rushing the field.



We must be happy enough to be back in the win column that we can set aside arguing about this for a week. I haven't seen a complaint about the student section or its location in the stadium all day.


Could it (now) be a Big12 rule? I noticed Jayhawks did the same thing.

Seems like all TV games use canned crowd noise now. Irritating if you really listen to it. Even Stanford empty stadium has crowd noise.

It is beyond AWFUL! Drives me nuts, and I stop watching casual games because of it and turn down the volume on games I care about. Terrible TV marketing decision.

It was battle of the bands yesterday. Did get a little annoying

Could be worse, could've had a visiting band there too, like we did last year.

I was sitting roughly equidistant from the 2 bands yesterday. When they both played the first down cheer at the same time, it was... not a great experience.
