Q: Hello, Chet. My wife and I spent four years attending Navy football games, and we cherished every minute of it. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is a wonderful place to watch an event. To enhance the atmosphere, I would like to suggest fight some music from around the country of other schools. We notice at Notre Dame, fight songs being played from around the country. It really puts an individual in a "football mood." The volume of the music should be more background so fans may visit and not have to shout to hear one another. It was very exciting to see the Midshipmen get into the spirit of the games the last two seasons! Thanks for guiding a GREAT program! - asked by: Larry D. Candeto -
A: Thanks, Larry, for your suggestion. We'll look at it and determine if it seems to be appropriate. To be perfectly honest with you I like to further promote the Navy and Marine Corps theme. Nevertheless, playing fight songs from various schools would bring a dimension of spirit and, hopefully, not confusion to our fans who are very traditional in their thinking. Let me think about it with our staff, and let's see how it "plays out."
