That’s really a common thing in several football stadiums.

My observations:
1. It was a little loud at times, so much so that there was distortion. It is not a huge amount really but could be dropped down just a little to make it sound a little better. I honestly noticed how loud it was, and and personally I didnt care so much but can remember thinking I bet some really dont like this.
2. I really noticed the "echo effect" from the speakers on the other end vs the end I was in. I have noticed that before but not to the extreme I did last night. I dont know if it was the weather conditions, or because it was louder, or if they changed how the two ends were synced, but there was a definite echo effect from the 2 ends.
3. Some of the music transition are just strange, I have noticed it in multiple games, and actually it might be an actual music file they play that is cut like this, but the way it transitions between 2 or 3 songs on occasion by just a straight cut from one to the next right in the middle of a main chorus line or something is not great.
4. This is the second time this year they played Sweet Caroline at the end of the night to abruptly cut it before the chorus.
5. There almost seemed like a conscious effort to not only make sure there was absolutely no dead air at any time before the game, between plays, during time outs and other times and when the sound system was playing it was going to be loud, to cover up any chant that might get going in the stadium. (The one that has been flooding sporting events around the country and that started last night in Jack Trice after the National Anthem.)
6. Overall it is fine, not a huge deal, just maybe needs a little tweaks to make it sound better. And honestly that was just from my seat, it could be better or worse from other parts of the stadium. I can say it is probably hard to make it sound perfect everywhere in the stadium all at the same time.

Ear plugs next game. Not everything needs to be volume: 11+++ ... except Juicy Wiggle.
When the salute to a veteran breaks your eardrums, there is a problem.
I can't hear the person next to me say anything.

The music is outdated, too loud and offensive. Let the band play for chrisssakes and quit trying to fill every second of dead air with some awful trash rock like Nickelback. Our music choices are the absolute worst in college football. Maybe we could update to Jock Jams 1993.
I don't think I heard a single nickleback song. I usually have to ask my 14 year old what the songs are since it's more from his time. Start of the game there is a motley crue and then many times a quick money for nothing hit, but that is generally it.
Iowa State has a "Gameday Fan Feedback" section on their website:
https://cyclones.com/sports/2016/6/30/gamedayfanfeedback.aspx
Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing! And with the 2016 date in the URL, if it's still current, where are they publicizing it?
I would assume so. I've noticed a few other links on ISU's pages have older dates within but still have current information. My guess is that's when they first posted the link. Like with this one, you'll notice they refer to the Mid American Energy Field and that wasn't named/announced until 2018.
I found it looking for fan information to forward to friends.
Go to the main page, www.cyclones.com
At the top are different sections with drop downs (Sports, Tickets, Cyclone Club, etc). It's under Fans.
Have sat in west upper deck on the 50 yd for 10+ years, and this game was notably louder. It was really noticeable on the walkout, sounded like the volume was beyond what the speakers could handle and the lyrics of the song were not audible.
Yeah, they obviously need to do something about the sound, since there's such a big discussion about it.)
It does blow my mind how ******* loud our advertisements are. Stayed home Saturday and holy ****, we’re the only team in the world you can hear word for word the ads going on in the background
We have the same music as most other arenas. The same music was being played in Vegas at the UNLV game. There isn't a lot of current music that I would consider pump up music, and hasn't been for a while. Dua Lipa and BTS are not what get people hyped.
Also remember my first game in college, thinking we were getting bombed, only to find out Iowa State was in the

We don't have the same music as other stadiums. Other stadiums let the fans make the noise or feed off the band. We play filler music in literally every dead second of game time and time outs. Seems like we got a deal on whatever AC/DC's newest album was/is and we blast that crap all the time. Other stuff might not be Nickelback - that was a generalization meant to characterize our music as the most gawdawful crap you can put through a speaker - but it might as well be. Some music sometimes = OK. Hardo doucherock all the time = not ok. Spread it out and make it unique. Quit telling me it is first down, we're in the redzone, etc. Just stop trying to do everything all the time.
