Should we get rid of Third Down Thunder?

YES! It's about time! We aren't a freakin' minor league baseball team!

No - I like them piping in crowd noise. Our stadium is too quiet.

No - The only way I can get my six-year-old daughter to the game is to promise her she can see the horseys stampede on the videoboard on each third down

Are you sure? If you did not have and you were not told about the thunder sticks then you would not have known why they actually said third down thunder. HMMMMMMMMM. Of course, you being a media mogul and all I guess I have to believe you. As long as you have never worked for the NY Times.

I just think the thing is lame. If we have to use thunder sticks to make any kind of noise then we've got attendance problems (no secret there). Cheers/chants/yells/etc are more intimidating when associated with winning...and lots of people there to make them loud.

I don't have a major problem with third down thunder as long as we:

1) have a better result

2) no longer announce that Third Down Thunder is being brought to us by sponsor xxxx.
