Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth.  We see and are happy, overly, with an atmosphere every year.  It's the 2nd Saturday in October in Dallas.   It's a simple, outstanding in-game environment that is built around the game, crowd and bands.  All the other ads, plugs and non-sense are checked and discarded at the door.   The game may not play out to our liking but there is a never a complaint about the environment because it's about the game, and that's it.

The recipe is pretty simple.  And it's not about us following it.  It's about us not even getting close to it. 

So all we need to do is entice the State Fair to Austin and then give 50% of the tickets to the visiting team?

Don’t be obtuse.

The fucking jet pack guy references will never not make me laugh out loud. I never actually heard an origin story for how he started showing up. In my mind, I like to believe that it was actually a bizarre hobby of Steve Patterson and he just started showing up in his gear and blasting around. Is there a real story though ?

Yours is the official record until I hear otherwise.

Allow me to reacquaint you with the retread from roundball, the nuisance from the NBA, Patterson’s Patsy and Interloper of Austin. One Felisa Israel. May she be driven into the sea or nearest available body of water down to and including a bowl that might cause drowning.

I remember jetpack guy was part of a promotion for Mighty Fine. I don't know why they used jetpack guy to do that, but there you go. It was loud as shit and really annoying.

It was beyond annoying...it was OSHA would require two layers of hearing protection loud.  But hey, let's subject our paying customers to it.  That will be fun!

Be sure to fill out your survey if you have season tickets and mark "how likely are you to recommend to others" below 7 and "how likely you are to renew" as a 1.

I put the reasons as Bob Cole and the never ending advertising. Also mentioned there are no good home games next year, so I'll be able to scalp for most games cheaper than face.

Oh yeah, the guitar guy with the band was ridiculous.  I’d take jet pack guy over him any day. 

[blacklab 11,852]

There's about 500,000 dudes in Austin that play guitar and that's who they went with?

Did they practice any before the game or did he just get randomly picked from the stands?

[EZ$ 2,102]

I was hoping it was the rain frying some of the electronics from the guitar/speakers and that’s why it sucked so bad.

It sounded like maybe he was a time traveler and his dad was supposed to kiss his mom at the halftime show but some ginger pushed pops down the stairs.

The “dont stop believin” band/guitar halftime mashup was an absolute trainwreck

 

everyone in my section was laughing their asses off, and the Tech fans nearby kept saying “what the fuck is this junior high shit”

OMG you nailed it.  Me and my son were asking “what is up with this pedestrian effort”...sound kept going in and out, dude thought he was soloing for Metallica..it was a riot..  which ever employee came up with that should be docked.
