When we're on ESPN they put a mic in front of the ESC. MSG doesn't.It sounded like a trainwreck on TV yesterday. So disappointing.

I mean, being ultra' means representing your background and culture as fans - well A LOT of folks in SW have that spanish background and if the people in GSS call for it to go, they are going against their own beliefs. Ignoring the fact that the spanish songs truly represent this area is ridiculous.
How about this, after every spanish song ESC/Viking starts, GSS gets to start the next song?
We think new people will honestly join when they see all these egos in the air? But nah, everyone is just happier worrying about themselves and reliving the good old days when there were 50 guys in 101 at GS but DAMN were they all passionate! Let's see some true passion and leadership - step up and truly bring back those days of fun and passion except with 1500 people, not 50.

I think you guys should always dutifully report a broken chair. The correct person is always punished and maybe the FO will give you a nice pat on the head.
I don't think anyone is looking to get a pat on the head here, Mike, and the general chair issue & yours from last season are I think two separate issues, one which can be handled well and one that was not.
I think it's about recognizing that if we have 9-10 people that keep killing chairs, they'll bring jackets back, and then it'll suck for all 1500 people. Bad math, that, and selfish to boot. We are here to let everyone have a good time, not so that a handful of people can get their rocks off with impunity. The SW is there so that we all have a place to have fun, not to be an environment free of consequences.
And, by the way, those people can still be drunk, get (95% of) their rocks off and have fun, if they were just a bit smarter about it.
It's one thing to stand on a chair, it's another to be dumb about it. If you are going to do it, go up for 3-5 seconds, help get people riled up, and go back down. Standing on the tops/backs for like 1 minute + at a time, just draws attention from the security and makes it an issue. I've gotten texts from stadium security in the past ('You've got a guy standing on a chair in row 8...'). They see this stuff, it would be ignorant to assume that they don't.
Finally, if you are going to go on a chair, put your foot over the one in front of you, lean forward, and stand on the base of the prior row. You aren't up vs. your row, but you are up over theirs, and the center of the chair is holding your weight, it won't break. Putting a quarter of your foot all the way at the end like you're on a ladder, and then pogo-ing, will snap it.
I would never tell someone not to have fun, but, we can all be smart about it.
And, I'm down for 1 game in the SW with no drums whatsoever. At least for a half.
1 bass & 1 snare in 101 is more than enough for 101, should never have more than that. Getting 133/102 that sound, however, is harder. I'm not sure about the time lag, but, it might be easier to mike 1 drum & not any of the singers, with no other drums in the SW. That way you get the beat, but not the "1 dude screaming into a bullhorn" effect, and even if one section was doing other songs, etc, it wouldn't be two drums on different beats, just voices. Just an idea.

"Obviously, I want to make a living (in soccer), to say the least," he said. "There's so much you can accomplish in the soccer world, and right now I'm focused on having a good season with the Red Bulls. Ultimately, our goal is to win the MLS Cup, and I see no reason why we can't." - #4 Tyler Adams

It's still down there, we just need to tune it to sound good again. ESC has 4 drums down there:
- Harold's with the ESC skins on it
- The white Trixion drum we bought going into 2010 that we were playing yesterday
- Anna Nicole- the large blue yamaha drum
- The 22" red drum that RBNY gave us in '06 that is falling apart but still plays pretty normal; GSS was using it yesterday.
