Is cheering the same as playing music? Because I really don't hear a lot of cheers coming from the band. They play music alot, which is good because it does create a better atmosphere. However, they have a tendency to play whenever they want, like in the middle of the few chants the students start such as after a questionable penalty. If they only could figure out when to start playing, a problem wouldn't exist.
As I previously mentioned before, one of the best student sections I was in was the Mankato playoof series. Now while maybe not the rowdiest, since it was held over spring break, a high percentage of the people there were diehards. If they could find a way to always put thse people in lower bowl and the rest in the upper, the student section would be a lot better. Anyways, I am glad they are keeping the cheerleaders. They aren't quite at St. Clouds level but they are close.
