ND is a our goal to model = 100% grad rate, fans in certian section wear designsted, pre game all fans are super ambassadors, post football game both teams exit north stands and both sets of families greet kids, well orcastrated events hours before game (more than football event) , my preference - lots of band and less DJ canned music., etcAgree, it’s awkward and embarrassing. I stand, but frankly, I feel bad about it sometimes because there is a couple in their 70’s who would rather be sitting in the seats behind me.
On the other hand, we are doing this particular gimmick all wrong. I attended a GT bball game at Notre Dame a few years ago, and they do the same thing, except they stand until the visiting team makes its first basket. It’s a subtle difference, but the crowd is much more motivated to stand and remain standing and be loud when they think they are negatively impacting the opposing team.
We are on way w coaching, player size. In 15 after game the size difference between the defensive teams was stark. Our best players were equal to thiers, but our bench was astoundingly undersized. One injury and the "quick" undersized was obviouly slow and small at end of game.
