The explain how Bama continues to get 5 stars by the bus load. The game experience there is nothing like you described. 

I have not been to a Texas home game in several years, but I've been to quite a few away games, including the Bama game this year.  The Bama game was tons of fun, but included most of the stuff people are talking about - loud music, light shows, cell phone flashlights (including a wave), etc.  I didn't really notice the band at all until I heard the Texas band playing a lot late in the game as the Bama fans started to filter out.

JMHO, but the current game day “experience” is way too artificial and electronic hyped with little human participation.  Seems to be reflecting the culture of “nose in the cellphone all day” generat

From CDC’s recent essay, he’s super proud to see Fonzie jump the shark.

There's no way he wrote that himself.   I'm not even sure AI could write something that slithery.

Drew Martin, Fernando Lovo and our entire external services, creative and game ops teams

Welp, at least now we know the names of 2 of the heads of the hydra.   Let's run this to ground for root-cause identification.  CDC is not the path to resolution.  He is responsible and accountable, but on this problem he is neither consulted nor informed.

Fernando Lovo is the one involved in game operations. He’s an Urban disciple who came here with Tom, left to the Jags when Sark was hired, then came crawling back to us.

There seems to be a disconnect here somewhere. "You olds just don't want it loud". No, the exact opposite. I want every game to sound like the Mizzou game in 2008. And I don't think that's possible right now, with all the bullshit going on.

I’d rather it be consistently loud and tough to play when an Alabama rolls to town than to have to go and cherry pick specific games from specific years. It currently is consistently louder for most games than it has been likely ever.

Not gonna slog through all these pages of bitching, so don't know if this was posted or not. But here is the Texas Athletics dept. online survey for Saturday's game. Have at it...

"Please answer a few questions about your gameday experience at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium this past Saturday at the Wyoming game. Our team will use your feedback to make necessary adjustments to provide you the best possible experience throughout the 2023 season."

I was also at the Bama game.  Trust me, the amount of electronic bufoonery and the volume at DKR far exceeds what we witnessed at Bama.

 Oh... and y'all need to wake up that 5 star recruits are not looking to go to a game for a "quality college football experience".  

I would hope that at least some of our 5 star NIL funded recruits are looking to go to a game to play football and not look at the light show and drones

I doubt crowd noise is louder consistently. We diagnosed how the dumbotron sucks the life out due to cranking it to 100dbs up until a few seconds before the snap. Why get loud when the crowdtrack does it for you?

Also, with secondary ticket sales so convenient, and alienation of core fanbase, tourists fill the stands in record numbers.

And as we know, the overdue move to group students together has made a huge difference. If there’s a crowd boost, its because of that and general alcohol sales.

I'm sure this will solve all of the problems....here's what I typed into the template on the "Contact Us" page.  You have to give your real name, email and telephone number:

https://texassports.com/sb_output.aspx?form=12

Good afternoon.  I hope that this message is received as "respectful" because the job that everyone does putting on the gameday atmosphere we have is worthy of infinite respect.  We have particularly enjoyed every LCL show since its inception, and believe that you listened to our previous comments by moving it to 2 hours before kickoff instead of 1 1/2 hours.

I do, however, hope that the entire team will take a "step back" and re-examine some of the elements of the in-game production.  Despite my graduation year being a distant 1989, and the grey hair that permeates my head, I don't feel like I'm an "old grumpy fan" and I fully understand that you are competing with unprecedented factors to attract fans, particularly the Gen Z, X, or whatever the current label is.  However, at some point, I think (and many that I've spoken with feel the same way), we need dial it back just a bit, and let the "football" be the star of the star of the show.  Here is my list...and no, this is not a Festivus List of Grievances" but rather just a punch list of things that I hope you'll consider to be constructive criticism, in the interest of further perfecting the Gameday experience:
1.  We do not need music or manufactured noise between every single play.  It actually impedes crowd noise because people can't shout over the volume, and then when the music stops, the crowd can't automatically start yelling.  And when the music is played, we really need to dial the volume back by around 20%. 
2.  The "Breaking the Law" and "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Beep Beep Beep" after penalties is a tad over the top.
3.  Bob Cole needs to be dealt with, if he is not to be replaced.  His role is supposed to be "background" but he seems to go out of his way to be the "star of the show."
4. The on-the-field mike guy needs to stop with trying to start "Texas-Fight"...please pay attention at the Texas-OU game....the Cheerleaders can very much handle that task on their own.
5.  As a corollary to No. 4, the "First Down...TEXAS....FIGHT" was a flop.  Nobody did it, because nobody wanted to do it as it is something you'd expect at a high school game.

If the event team can work on any or all of these elements, and yet maintain the "party" elements of the Gameday experience, I think we'll have a win-win.

Add to no. 4: the cheerleaders and the crowd can manage it on their own.

Speaking of UT football experiences, these types of events are missed by some of the Longhorn ladies… 

Maybe Mrs. Sark could co-host something similar with her hubby?

Yeah, have Ms Sark give the folks over at aggy a call to see if they have any advice on how to put on a clinic that's not a national embarrassment

I know kickoff "says" 2:30p, but Clemson/Syracuse plus some promos/intros/bumpers/commercials...the ball won't actually leave the tee until about 2:40p.  But if he's older, he may like to get into his seats earlier than most.  But 2:40p actual clock starts.  I'd say in real time, your seats (seems like about halfway up and midfield)...you're probably not in the shade until well into the 2nd quarter.  With the heat index (not crazy humidity, but certainly noticeable)....plus you're just close enough to get ambient heat burning off the rubber turf.  At some point in the first quarter, y'all are gonna be solidly above 100 degrees in real feel.  Second half should be comfortable, but maybe make an alternative plan for first half (switch seats with somebody under overhang, one of the concourse bar areas, Exes center, etc.).  Every Texas is a tough guy, but if your dad has health issues, no reason to risk it for fucking Kansas.  Take it steady and make your way down when he feels ready.  This won't be Rice hot, but it's not anything to fuck aroudn with either.
