Do you think more people would go to NFL (National Football League) games if there were team marching bands?

Don't know & don't care!

It's possible. I imagine it would add to the already exciting spirit of competition.

man, I havent really thought about that. A much better question would be; would as many people go see college games if they didnt.

I don't really know.

*whispers* I think the cheerleaders keep the guys going to the games!

In general, I dislike marching bands.

Don't care.

Maybe if there were nude cheerleaders who showed their pink bits on the big screen.

I think the NFL sells out practically every game in practically every city regardless of the lack of marching bands.

NO, I hate that idea! Marching Bands are for College teams only.

I know 4 or 5 of the Chiefs cheerleaders. All great gals! One of these days I'd like to meet the whole squad at one time. One gal that boards a horse with me is an ex cheerleader and that's how I got to met the others.

People surely don't go to NFL games for music...

I don't know

I don't know. I'd have to look at the box-office receipts, for the teams with bands, before and after, to get an idea.

dunno

dunno

Not really. I think people go to games to see the football, not the marching band.

Don't know, don't care. Besides, even if I watched sports, which I don't, it is much better right at home in front of the tube. Why spend over a hundred dollars to waste a whole day to go somewhere you can't even see what is going on anyways? That goes for all sports.

Wow! Lucky you!

Have you ever dated any of them?

I wouldn't think so. People go to the game for the game, not to see marching bands. Otherwise there would be a National Marching Band League with the Trombone player making $20 Million a year.

I wouldn't think so, but thanks for the useless info. I think I may try to catch a Ravens game just to see how similar it is to a high school marching band

No, never have! My girl friend was a cheerleader in high school though.

No, I don't think they give a damn

Well to me, that's just as good.

I don't know. I also don't care. I doubt it.

I don't know, but I think it's a good idea. Although I feel any extra revenue it may bring in would not cover the cost of having a band.

I doubt it, but I'd sure like to see it! I wouldn't go to games, but I might watch halftime shows on TV.

I am not a big fan of marching bands.

Being a member of the esteemed Marching Ravens, I can't really say if we make a difference at the box office. However, we do change the fan experience, and have had nothing but positive feedback from Ravens ownership and other fans about the fun we add to the gameday. To the one responder who commented about every game selling out anyway, that's not always true. There are lots of teams who don't sell out every home game, but you're right, I don't think a band would put any more seats in the seats, so to speak. But for the people who are there, they'd have a lot more fun, especially if it was a boring game.

No, but I think marching bands are cool.

I don't know & I don't care.
