Well, I don't know if it's the best. Maybe it's the barley pops had before the game that make it seem cool.
We'll find out quick too since I can't have any this game in case I need to rush back home for work. I'll let you know.

Definitely.
Plus the warnings are bunk anyway. It just a way for the TV media to hype it all up and get bigger ratings when the warning go off and everyone pulls out their mobile device to use "13 Warn Me" and watch live, streaming coverage on Iowa's Weather Channel.
13 Warn Me! Available now in the App Store and Android Marketplace!

Well, if we can't use it, the Wildcats won't see the *** kicking coming their way since they didn't get warned.
This.
Have an actual local station/meteorologist come on if there is a real threat...it's that easy. and if you are Ames and can't differentiate between the Cyclone Warnings inside Jack Trice on a saturday or the real thing, then u b dum...
I don't understand the negative effect of punking fans who dont understand this is just part of the pre-game? Will peoples lives be at risk if they interpret this as real?
Is the reason they don't want to play it because they don't want to worry the crowd or the surrounding community? I don't know how far away you can hear that siren in Ames but if it sounds like the regular tornado siren and the Ames community can hear the siren from Jack Trice, it's probably best not to play it when under a tornado watch.
First of all, its sounds nothing like a modern day tornado siren. Second of all, whats are the negative effects of people who mistakenly (or idiotically) take it serious?
Thankfully, it's been a while since I've heard a tornado siren.
Theoretically, the effects are people ignoring the real tornado siren because they believe it's just the sound system from the football game.
I agree. But if you tell people in advance that you won't be playing the siren, they can't come back and sue the **** out of you.
I'd play the siren, but I don't have to worry about the legal rammifications on the .001% chance that a tornado actually struck down in Ames during a football game.
if it goes off during play/players on the field. then its a near sure bet that its real. if not? its entertainment. our jumbo tron is ******* huge. there is no reason for people to get confused. but i can see why Iowa state is taking interest. they dont want to end up with some bs and end up getting sued. (see guy or lady that sued mcdonalds for coffee that was too hot)
What the hell is this? After playing mafia with you, I just assumed your computer wouldn't let you type more than 10 words at a time.:biggrin:
This is the Ames Police we are talking about, don't expect common sense.
the moron that mistakes the TD siren and entrance theme for an actual weather alert deserves to spend the afternoon in their fallout shelter anyway.
The first link is a tornado siren that is in Ames. The second one is the 2012 intro video. The intro video does have a siren that sounds pretty similar to the Ames tornado sirens. The video also has the Emergency Broadcast System alert tones, which sound nothing like the tornado sirens (it's what they play on the radio every so ofte).
