As someone who has sat in the MUSS for the past three seasons now, I understand why a lot of kids don’t want to come. The ones down low that ‘get crazy’ are all a bunch of jerks looking to get an Instagram picture, sneak in beer and just get stupid drunk to the point where no one is having fun, and really, the weather is playing a part. Super hot to super cold. Wet and rainy. It sucks.
I’ve signed up for tickets exactly at the start time each year and I find myself not moving up in seat quality at all because the MUSS council or whoever want to reward their friends to get into the main sections. In three years I’ve gone from row 20 down to row 6 in the same section.
Every game I move from row 6 up to rows 15-20 because there are fewer idiots. People that actually watch the game are in the mid to upper levels. Those that came to party and be seen are down low.
Naturally, I’m introverted and can’t stand the loud obnoxious behavior of a lot of the kids these days. But that might be my biggest turn off. I come to watch the games, not get squeezed out of my standing room because a couple kids want to drag down 20 of their friends from the upper bowl.
Outside of actual sporting events, the MUSS doesn’t really have a presence on campus. I’m on campus every single day for classes and I only ever see advertisements for games and that’s about it. There is so much more that could be done to generate excitement for the team and the events and it’s just not there.
