I find it remarkable in an era where we're paying millions of dollars for

players, we still have marching bands at halftime.

I mean the band in the stands is hugely important but there has to be 100 better ways to entertain several thousand people for 15 minutes.

I mean, yes that's probably disrespectful to their talents but nobody is watching because it's super boring.

It costs huge $$ to play current popular songs that have been on the charts for even the last 5-10 years. So they stick

I'll be okay. It doesn't even bother me. I just think in 2024 we can do more.

It's bathroom and food time. Halftime doesn't need to be some amazing spectacle.

Considering your apparent old age, is the music too recent for your tastes?
