First time I have ever heard of complaints by the home team of the noise being too loud. We definitely need to weed out some and replace them with fans.

Amen!

It's on the Videoboard and in the PA script, but text us at (214) 516-7010 in-game. Thanks!

When music was played at timeouts it disn't seem as loud as last year. Really no comparison. Why they continue to get this wrong is beyond frustrating.

Had multiple complaints via GuestAssist last night that the music was TOO loud, including one that said we were damaging children's ears. It's a delicate balance. If you think it's too low, let us know via GuestAssist as well. Right now, all we hear at the game is that it's too loud.

Sid's response made my jaw drop. Seriously, those complaints are stupid. Get your kids ear plugs or leave 'em home. It can never be too loud!

Two free ear plugs with every juice box! Everyone knows that every drug store sells bags of ear plugs for loud rock concerts and Moody Coliseum.

Seriously, have bags of SMU foamies available either at the entrance or at some fan-service location in the concourse and whenever anyone complains, text them the location. Even put an ad for it in the program for the game. Want to step it up? Have the players do a PSA for the foamies..."make sure you get your hearing protection because it is about to get loud in here!" with pics from last nights and other similar games.

I have to say SID that is possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. You are attending a sporting event, not Sesame Street Live. It will be loud. Any sporting event will be loud.


Leave the kids at home or bring earplugs. You are close to pushing REAL fans away by that type of nonsense.

haha I love that. The papers will write about how its so loud in Moody all the little kids actually have to get ear plugs. What a great story line. Keep cranking the noise up

Yesterday was one of the most enjoyable days in SMU athletics in a long time
But since the [deleted] has already been registered-Back to Band uniforms-I've never brought it up before but the only uniforms that I hate are the Mr. Peppermint look. Why haven't they been sold to a Barber Shop Quartet decades ago. Is there some tradition they represent-other than they have been embarrassing since about 1980? Do they bother anyone else. I think they look a little [deleted]. NTTIATWWT

That is absurd. This isn't a chess match. Wear some earplugs. That is what college basketball is all about. Mavs games are loud and I dont' hear Cuban turning down the noise. Sorry maam if little Junior can't take it. Take them home.

Haha, totally agree Stallion. Mr Peppermint was creepy too

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Obviously, Thursday we all need to continually contact GuestAssist and tell them the music is not loud enough.

We can win this battle!

[Charleston Pony]

I agree on those Mr Peppermint uniforms for the band...never liked them. As for the parents complaining it's too loud for their kids...have to remember these are probably Highland Park/University Park people who are a little soft to begin with. Not the fans we need dictating game day atmosphere

[Stallion]

are there areas in the arena that have speakers that are louder. I know in Ford it was really painful a few years ago on the top rows when the speakers were directly above you-but I think they figured that problem out. Where are the speakers-I assume in the rafters near scoreboard

haha I was thinking that too. Everytime I check my phone during a timeout or something just text guest assist and tell them the music isnt loud enough. Ill get like 4 texts in a game haha

[CoxMustangFan]

I wouldn't complain about it, but the music was too loud. The whole programming was terrible, but when they did play music it would make your ears ring. It's a basketball game, not a rock concert. Good venues don't need to pipe in music to replace crowd noise.

Great game last night, though! The boys played well and it was SMU all day. Good times!!

[SMU Spartan]

It's too loud in the upper 200 section. The treble is especially too loud.
