halftime show is always kinda meh, half of it is dedicated to the three in one and the rest is playing a couple usually very aged songs
in game I think the band does a great job (I love the Loki theme on 2nd down, they do a good job making noise when they need to and overall setting the tone)
something that stands out to me is that the stadium and the band and the overall vibe looks and sounds fucking legit once you get a game when we get the CBS glow-up like the Michigan game last year (or Big Noon 2 weeks ago)... I have few complaints
