The pride and excitement shown by the band members made it a great event to experience.

Contrast that with the NFL franchise near me (Chicago Bears) who have no cheerleaders and no band despite having one of the most recognizable team songs in the league (Bear Down Chicago Bears) and I will take college football all day every day over the NFL.

Add on to that the fact that with their "dynamic pricing" the least expensive ticket for the Pittsburgh Steelers ($212) or Green Bay Packers ($158) cost what Northwestern season tickets cost, in the case of the Packers game season tickets cost $25 more but NU's parking is free and the Bears charge at least $25 per game so that difference is more than made up.

Nearly all of the NFL's numbers are trending down, those running that league better wake up.

The Bears don't have cheerleaders? A couple of NFL teams have bands fwiw. Most have at least a drumline and use local high schools for halftime shows.
