You are exactly correct. Both have the right to enjoy the *GAME*. But if
the Pep Band prevents *ANYONE* from enjoying the game (which is what that
little ticket that I bought says is going to be played at the arena), then
I think it's the Band that should accomodate the fan. After all, I didn't
buy season tickets to listen to a Pep Band.
Again, don't get me wrong. I enjoy the RPI Pep Band, and would be
disappointed if they were asked to stop playing at games. But if there is
a significant number of people that are complaining about the band, then I
think something should be done to let them enjoy the game - whether or not
they contribute money to the hockey program is moot.
Sure, the best solution is a half-way medium, but IMHO there will always be
someone that's going to go to extremes, and there has to be a policy to
deal with that (ie. banning the band.)
