Agreed. This is the policy at many MLB stadiums I've been to.

At least for the first 30 minutes, as usual. Than they left for their watering holes.

They stick around when the game is interesting. It was like watching paint dry last night.

And the students like the loud music and types of music that was played. So we can’t _____ that they don’t show up and when they do complain inadvertently about what drove them to show up.

I'm 86, what's with the 80 year old comment?

More people will probably make that adjustment next game (if they actually show up that is)

Perhaps, but there needs to be a “compromise”. I haven’t been to CF in a couple seasons but recall how loud it was then. Painfully loud!! Hopefully the new West tower construction allows them to spread the sound around in a more manageable way.

Quick question, how many people on this board have volunteered to work concessions at any UL event at any time? I’ll be waiting....

Dumb question. How,many have been asked?

Mark this as a forever statement.

They didn't come for the music and they didn't stay for the music. This makes the loud music Mr. Irrelevant.

As long as corporations like Sodexo and Aramark run concessions, it's going to be garbage.
