Re: Dome Music: A Rant
The Saints players pick the music before the game.
So if you've got a problem with it, I'm certain Roman Harper, Chris Ivory, etc., don't care. |

Re: Dome Music: A Rant
Good post. Definitely need a change in the dome. The Crunk song was fine in the dome for the superbowl year, it got the crowd pumped up before kick-off's, even the players would dance on the field. But it has run it's course, time for a change.

I'm ok with Krunk occasionally, esp after scores, but the last thing we should have to hear is crackhouse crap. Honestly, Im not really feeling the metal either. The average fan must be over 30, so why are we listening to teenager music? I say we have a college band for every home game. Im guessing the NFL doesnt allow them to play except at halftime,. But if I were the supreme dictator of All Football, we would have Southern or Grambling's marching bands jamming out Louisiana flavored music. If we did have any canned music, it would be a fun selection of retro hits--- but songs that jam, but appeal to everybody. If you need subversive coolness, go to a Dead Mary Poppins concert. This is a football game. Totally agree, Mutineer. |

Re: Dome Music: A Rant
I don't know if it is the same in the NFL, but I have been told by a pretty knowledgeable Hornets source that in the NBA at least, the hip hop that they play during the pre-game warm-ups BEFORE the game (at the Hornets games for instance) is requested by the players themselves.
Now I don't like crunk or dirty south music AT ALL but I love the "Stand Up And Get Crunk" song after touchdowns, and I can't believe people here are hating on it....wow, tough crowd! It's one of the things that makes us us. If you are way up top in the terrace, people beat on the metal walls of the Dome in time with that drum fill in the very beginning... It's like war drums or something. It's awesome to watch visiting fans react to the craziness, their faces go blank when they see the Dome go crazy. It will get tired and played out eventually, but not everyone is there yet...it's unique to us, to the winning era we're in, so what's not to love. |

![]() But - although I did a poor job - I didn't want to suggest that the "Get Crunk" song should disappear or anything. Lord knows, the music I deemed gangsta rap hip-hop crunk dirty south whateveryacallit belongs in the cultural and musical fabric of New Orleans as much as the jazz, blues, cajun & zydeco I mentioned. I only wanted to make a plea for some diversity - a "gumbo" if you will ![]() |

If we saw THE face of THE person who makes these decisions, maybe we'd have a better understanding...
Or maybe it would be a total breakdown of understanding! One thing for sure; this is pervasive throughout the NFL, therefore it rests squarely on the shoulders of Goodell. Alaska |
