Agreed.

Though getting Iron and Wine for Double Decker is pretty exciting.

I like Iron and Wine, but I don't think he's good for Double Decker.

I can see this. I love him and his band but I don't know how it could be very good at a loud, outdoor street festival with half the crowd probably not knowing who he was. Might not be a good mix for the type of band you have to sit still and really listen to.

Is it too late to move the venue to the baseball stadium? You can set the stage up in right field and modify the ground rules. Any fly ball to right field is an automatic out. Any ground ball through the right side that goes up under the stage is a ground rule double. You can sit the right fielders and play 8 or let them play shortfield in left. Instead of having the concert after the game, Sugarland can do songs between innings.

Might be foreign to a Xavier fan but we play baseball in the Spring - hence Super Bulldog Weekend. Baseball is bigger than the Spring game or Sugarland.

Sarcasm might be foreign to MSU fans. I'll put you down as "OK to frick up football and not OK to frick up baseball."

It's impossible to screw up our Spring game any more than it already is. It's the most boring form of football I have ever tried to sit through. At least baseball is for real - and that's not sarcasm.

ETA - Oops! Forgot y'all don't have football - so I guess maybe it was sarcasm.

Well this is Sugarland playing... they have to take extra time to make sure the stage doesn't collapse this time.

I like the idea. If possible I would have gotten someone besides Sugarland, but still a cool idea.

Sugarland's roadies and MSU's events crew are obviously not on par with the super bowl's, but you are welcome to keep saying dumb shite if it makes you happy.

Spring Game attendance numbers

Hmm, nope. Your spring game last year had over double what your record baseball attendance all time was.

Facts?

This much I can agree with.


But a rolling stage is not all that difficult. In fact, here's one that Sugarland used when performing at the Atlanta Falcons game. From what I can find, they did it during halftime of a Falcons/Saints game in 2006.
