Pretty much asked to rate the different aspects of the game entertainment experiences, lots of questions regarding music and then a text box for any additional feedback.
ISU Survey
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
Yup- and an entire section of do they play too much, too little, or just enough country, then rock, and lists every genre of music
I’ll take the fight song every day any day…it is the FIGHT song after all. We don’t need some recorded song that will change every few years anyway.

Tell the band to save the Bells of Iowa State until after the game. That song sucks the life out of the entire stadium when played pre-game.
We should get rid of Sweet Caroline because it's unoriginal and trash.
I told them I really could care less about the music, and in the comment section added it would be nice for us non club fans to be able to purchase a beer or two during the game. Every stadium around is doing it, does not make sense for ISU to be leaving money on the table for something as simple as selling beer to the fans.
True enough but that doesn't make that crappy song any better.
The fan base likes the song, that is all that matters.
I don't get to JTS often enough to know when it's played, but I'd say Bells is OK maybe ~15 minutes prior to kickoff, then fight song, then do pump-up music/team entrance. (Again, I can't recall what's normal time frame between entrance and kick).
Cool with the link. Looks as though having the link will allow anyone to submit responses.
Do we like it, or do we just accept it? Has anyone ever exclaimed how great and awesome it is that we play "Sweet Caroline' when we win?
It's not a hill worth dying on, and when we win I yell the lyrics like anyone should, but I think it's lame. 'Juicy Wiggle' and it's grassroots origin story is so much better.
Fans are singing it, so ya, I would say they like it.
Well, as I stated, I sing it and don't care for it, so I think crowd participation is a poor measuring stick. You're at the game and want to support the team, so you do the thing.
Do you like it and think it's great, or just kindof go with it? I think there's a few miles in between those positions.

I thought it was a pointless survey. The stadium has 60,000 people in it, ranging in age from children to senior citizens, and they want to know what music is preferred. There is no chance there will be any consensus. I can’t imagine they will get any useful information from the survey.
I have no problem with the song, hell my wife uses it as a ring tone for her phone when our kids call.
Bucky does a thing like this at the end of halftime and it's very cool.
But UW's game atmosphere is about 96 X better than ISU to start with so it's not surprising they win that aspect too.
