[QUOTE="crut, post: 560811, member: 3240"] To be clear, the idea listed "New Cheers at Football and Basketball Games" does not replace any existing cheers. I agree with the idea because I think there are many times during games when it is too quiet, and there is a lot of opportunity for GT to be innovative/creative in the stadium as fans (goes with the GT brand). This also applies to basketball games. Some increased leadership/structure could make for a more rowdy/hostile home enviornment as well as a more engaging and entertaining experience for fans. You're consistently fighting a battle to make coming to games more rewarding for fans than watching at home. The world now has an over-abundance of stimuli, so if you want to do well in that competition you're going to need to make sure the experience is highly engaging. As for the vuvuzelas... I get that rationale - "vuvuzelas are a soccer thing, let's leave it there." If it's not the right move to give those to the Swarm section, than finding another way to get that cheer (buzzing on kickoffs like yellow jackets) to spread is ay ok. But maybe they hold 1 game that they specifically try to recruit ATL United fans, and they do it during that game, and then work with student organizations to keep the cheer going in the future without the vuvuzelas.
