Is there a reason the University can’t/won’t put the band and students in the

Lower East and South end zone?

Why?

Why?

I think their sound would be louder there

 

[Luke Skycocker]

It would be the exact same

I hope they put the Clemsux band in the top row of section 509

 

[Johnnie Cockran]

The north endzone and concourse is in desperate need of a renovation, that’s why they put the students there. Paying customers would not tolerate it.

It may for one side...but definitely not the other. That was the primary complaint when they had it that way.

If that stadium were the earth, that end of the stadium would be the Third World.

they would have to span 501-509 to get the entire band in the top row, but im with ya

Won’t happen with new amenities for those in sections 11-13.

North endzone/east lower is classic, I like the tradition

Students aren't "paying customers"? I beg to differ.

North end zone men’s rooms don’t even have troughs, just a wall with water running down it. Lol

They’re already payed whether they go or not. So don’t really have to appeal to them with fancy amenities.

They should put the band IN the endzone pregame to stop the "taut walk" because our fans will pelt them as soon as the taters flip the bird and grab their crotches as usual. We have been stupid to allow it.

When I was a kid they used to be in the southeast corner. (70’s and 80’s) With the students in the southeast end zone side and the band exactly in the corner stands.

In recent history the band has been in the northeast corner and at one point I feel like they were under the scoreboard in the top center rows of the north end zone (I could be wrong on that one though).

I will say, on Saturday I was in the East upper and that was the quietest the band had ever sounded to me. It’s always felt louder when I’ve been in the West stands.

It was that way in the early 90s too. They moved to the NE/North EZ when the expansion to the South Upper happened in 1996.

Lower East and South end zone?

The east 4 center sections has mostly long term Gamecock Club members that pay a premium for those seats.

Put 'em in Bernie's parking lot.

Interesting fact...if the visiting team brings their band, the home team doesn't dictate where they sit. The visiting team can use their ticket allotment to seat them where ever they want.

Carolina Band has been in multiple different locations over the years. They have been in the southeast corner, north end zone, northeast corner and where they sit now. I am not sure any of it makes a difference in terms of how well they are heard over the stadium. They even tried them in the east upper for one game during the Louie, Louie days. I think they should move back to the northeast corner.

Also, the AD should build another club section like the 2001 Club in the northwest corner to bowl that in. In many games, they let the visiting team park their equipment truck in a very visible spot in that corner so that an entire half of the stadium stares at a big logo graphic of the visiting team on their truck the entire game. Its stupid.
