    I enjoyed the shopping cart race, the find the peanut and all that other jazz the first few years, but it's all tired now. Would like to see something new. Also need more creativity in the videos produced in house. Some of them last year were pretty bad. The speaker issue is ridiculous and should be fixed immediately.

    I would also like to see some things implemented that would make our stadium more intimidating. Our "Go Titans Go" cheer sounds like something from a pee wee game. Can we have some clashing sword sound effects? Something? Anything?

    I want an assigned and acknowledged supporters section. A section that is loud and the alcohol flows. No stupid conduct codes. No sitting down. No old people or children. No family atmosphere.

    I want chanting and songs.

    I want the franchise to embrace fans. I want banners and flags.

    I want team performance based drink specials. Beer is discounted a dollar for every touchdown they score. 50 cents for a FG. I can dream.

    Seriously a better sound and video system would help.

    Basically I want a college or soccer atmosphere at LP.

    I agree with all of TitanJeffs initial suggestions. Fix the sound, fix the jumbotrons, show more redzone and league highlights, and OPEN THE FREAKING GATES.

    Broken Record nailed it as well. The cute kiddy stuff like shopping cart race was fine to begin with, but geez it's been 10 years. Create something new!


    Half-time needs improvement as well, the TSU band is good, jazzercise and nerf football toss are not.

    Its been more than a decade and Titan fans still REFUSE to go along with the 'Go Titans Go' business. Just pull the plug and let it die...

    I wish we could do Preds style chants. When they announce the opponents we all yell "SUCKSSSSS!!!!!!"

    I like most of the suggestions, although Tennessy XO's suggestions won't fly. I've had my fair share of games sitting near fans who indulged way too much and their excessive energy was used against other fans. Not cool. If we could guarantee that people wouldn't act like idiots to other fans when they've had too much, then I say we go for the reduced alcohol prices based on performance, but obviously, that will never happen ;)

    I dislike very much the corny little games they play on the Jumbotrons. Seriously, how many years can they do the same thing over and over and expect the fans to enjoy it?

    We need new Jumbotrons. Period. It's embarrassing to have High School looking Jumbotrons. I like the idea of closing the endzones with more seats. Then you could put massive screens (aka Ravens Stadium) on both ends. Of course this would take major moola, so it aint gonna happen.

    I can never figure out why they don't open more gates on gameday. It baffles me every time we get to the stadium and there are major lines and several gates closed. Of course it does allow us to finish off the "to go" beers that we take from the tailgate lol.

    The food can always be upgraded, but it's typical stadium food IMO.

    The one thing that I truly wish we had was a nice retractable dome stadium. I'm a wimp when it comes to the weather. I know that Green Bay fans are made out of different material than we are because they love sitting in the Frozen Tundra, but not this fan. Am I asking too much Bud? Somehow I think I am ;)

    Definitely agree on the jumbotrons. It's 2011, not 1999. Oh yeah, hiring a new marketing department would be a good place to start too.

    They aren't going to put more seats in the endzone. Ticket sales are already slowing down. Frankly 68,000 is about right for Nashville, and it ensures that all the games will be sold out and we dont have to worry about blackouts.

    They definitely need to change up the video "games." I realize those are basically paid advertisements, but seeing them 10 times a year for 13 years is getting old. You need to keep things fresh. If they want to keep the existing games, fine, but alternate them with something new.

    I wholeheartedly agree about getting Red Zone.

    Not openning the gates is another example of a cheap franchise. They are cutting down on ticket and security staff by limiting which ones are open.

    I've only been to one game in Nashville, last year vs. Eagles. Coming back this year vs. Ravens. So I don't have that much experience... but do they always just have a few gates open? If this is true, I don't understand their thinking... why have the gates at a FOOTBALL stadium when during your MAIN attraction, you don't open them all?
