Get rid of the DJ

[markson161]

After the NAU game I wrote Kent Haslam voicing my displeasure with the use of a DJ during the game.
I raised concerns about playing music right up to and after the opposing teams snaps while on offense, music being played between every play, the loudness of the music (more of a club scene than a football game), and not playing the usual crowd favorites.
Kent responded saying there are fans complaining that the games are boring and need more activity. Boring????
He also forwarded my email to Nic Hallisey the Associate Athletic Director Marketing and Communications. As far as I am concerned Nic's reply was nothing but lip service. He also said the DJ would be back for the Nov 9 game and they would decide how to proceed after that.
Well Saturday's game had the same problems and more.
The DJ was playing between plays when the Griz were on offense, apparently Nic and the DJ don't understand home field advantage works both ways, quiet on offense and loud on defense. and you could noticeably tell the volume being continually turned up while music playing.

Yeah it’s bad. Couldn’t agree more

More band, no DJ!

 

[coose]

I agree 100%. DJ music is for smash parties, not games at WaGriz.

Man you people are old. How dare they try something new and innovative. This is happening at sporting events all over the world. It’s the new thing. I bet there’s way more people that like it than don’t like it.

Maybe the rotation of the DJ and the Stadium Music isn't working. When one gets really going, they substitute and stifle any type of Rythm. They should just pick one and ride it out, I'm worried the Band may transfer.

The dj keeps the fans from being fans. Time outs are for the Montana Grizzlies yell, not club music.

The DJ is the two-QB system of stadium entertainment

Haslem should be concerned with the product on the field, causing fans to leave at the start of the 4th quarter.

I'd take that bet all day long. The Dj sucks.

Looks like we need a pole to settle this.

One could argue a ton of energy comes from the student section. I would guarantee the students are into it. I bet the players are into it. I have nothing in this fight. If they get the timing down, then I would think it would go over well.

I agree. But if they are playing while the Griz have the ball that is pretty stupid. Maybe play some Mozart while on offense. Help Increase the thought process of our team. Lol

I need someone to explain to me how the DJ is just so much worse than the normal music person playing Raise a Little Hell 15 times per game.

If I had a nickel for all the posts over the years about how the game experience has gotten old and stale…
