instead of using it as a playground and golf cart racetrack, we should have a band that starts 3 hours before the game. At 2 hours prior to kickoff, when the team bus pulls up behind the amphitheatre (like they already do), have the team walk across the stage as the beginning of the Dog Walk, then have one of the coaches give a short speech. It's a mini pep-rally to whip the crowd up, without changing much from what we already do, and without costing much... Then back to the music and brown water.<div>
