I agree.  That's why Mike had some of us play in the stands where the fans
are.  This is done during the 2nd half of football games.  I think that
riled the crowd up a bit.  There's probably a better place to put the band,
but I guess they wanted the "on the glass" seats to go to PAYING fans.
I dunno.
