Cyclones chant “Hawkeye State”?
Just kidding. I have no desire to copy anything ISU. What do they chant?
The key to the W is think..." what would Hayden Fry Do?" He would take that three syllable word and melt it down to a more powerful 2 syllable "Dub yah!" Problem solved.
The Student section is the I and it should remain that way. They have the energy to keep it going and they have done a great job of it.
Agreed. Environment in a dull offensive game was awesome. The game day atmosphere has continued to improve. Yesterday was an absolute blast and I hope, in time, the the south end zone will replicate the north. It is friggin glorious.
We changed seat location in the ~2006/2008/(I'm getting old?) reseating, and getting out of W was an honest consideration.
I'm a happy A right now, and I'm happy to be seated near one lunatic who always yells W with the W section.

Funny. I thought being the Cyclones, it might be something like, "Blow Blow Blow the man down"!!!!
It's honestly imposing, in a very good way. They designed it with the intricacies of Kinnick Stadium in mind.
Even on TV it looks RIGHT on top of you. Just like the East and West sidelines.
I like it and look forward to seeing the completed product.
Probably 2010 (the Wisconsin fake punt game). That is the loudest I have ever heard Kinnick personally.
The Greenwood pick in 2010 Wisky game may be the loudest I’ve heard Kinnick.
I wish everyone would stand the whole game and yell during every opponent’s snap. I was in the O’s and the W was loud. Only thing I noticed was all the empty seats in the NE box seats area (middle section). Would be louder if people were in the seats.
I would welcome a new stadium announcer, AND I would anyone who has the power to adjust on the fly given the current vibe of the crowd at a particular moment. That was always so frustrating to have the crowd going nuts and then have a blaring reminder to get volleyball season tickets.
I will say, the in-stadium experience overall is much better than it was a few years back ...
Was in the "A"'s (30 yard line, right below the Children's Hospital). I've never heard Kinnick that loud. That I-O-W-A chant was awesome (the W's seemed not to boom like the other three). I could even tell from being 80 yards away from the NEZ that that thing absolutely keeps the sound in the stadium. Visually, it is very impressive. If the SEZ is ever replicated to match, oh my.
Love just about everything about game days at Kinnick, but now that you bring up the choice of what and when to play stuff over the PA, I used to really dig that tune they played during the Smile Cam thing ("Put a smile on your face. . ."). Snappy, cheerful tune. Not sure what they're playing now, but it totally changes the vibe, IMO. Yes, it's aI agree. Whomever runs the sound has odd timing. Why cover up the I-O-W-A cheer with music or, more typically, another ad? They crowd is rocking and now lets settle everyone down for the Delta Dental Smile Cam...
I couldn't tell this week if my ears are bad, the crowd was that loud or the audio that low but I couldn't hear most of what was being said on the score board or the Brad Banks video before the team came out.
Agreed. That said, they could try going counterclockwise if another section wants a crack at the “W”.
Maybe the O's and A's should consider helping the W's. As an A, I can never hear the W's and have to guess on the timing.
I think 2010 and 2004 were peaks in noise level under KF. Both seasons had games that were insanely loud. The 2004 Wiscy game was deafening.
Daaaaamn right!You're so lucky your wife doesn't know @McLovin32
Never have that problem, we got some guy who thinks it's cool to say W when he's clearly in the A section.
2004 was amazing, and the 2nd best Kinnick game in my life (85 Michigan as a drunk freshman).
2004 - How the team started the year, and finished, the lights, the mist, the game, the look on Ferentz's face at the end - a perfect game.
Or more like talk about annoying the crowd. That track sucks, should be banned from all stadiums!
The W's are just fine guys, as an I the W's sound just as good as the A's imo Like the A's that can't hear the W's I can't hear the O's in the I's it's all about the direction of the sound
