Will they be overbooking seats and then dragging fans from the stadium to make room for employees?

The employees are wearing helmets and are on the field.

And all seats may be nosebleeds.
(Geez, the riffs are going to be endless on this)

After every U$C loss, the fans are going to feel like they had their heads bashed in while dragging themselves out of the stadium...
Are they going to reduce the seat pitch between bleachers to cram more rows in there?
Serving peanuts and pretzels as concessions?
No forming lines at the lavatories?

"Fight On" takes on new meaning.

Will there be exit rows with more leg room?
Re: United Airlines buys naming rights to Coluseum. - winflop - 05-18-2017
New seats will have 6" less legroom unless you pay and extra $50 to upgrade to Toejam Plus seating

I can just imagine what the food will be like.

Do you think there is material here for a band skit?
Re: United Airlines buys naming rights to Coliseum - CompSci87 - 05-18-2017
There's already more material in this thread than most Band skits are based on. So why not!

Unfortunately our football team typically flies United charters so I doubt any criticism of United will get past the censors in the AD. Too bad the band could really have a field day with this on Sep 9. Would be worth the road trip all by itself if they were allowed to do it.

United might be off limits...but maybe the small budget carrier Untied could be lampooned...

From a related link to the original article:
Quote:We college football people are a rowdy bunch, though, and it is a virtual certainty that United jokes will become a fixture of Trojans games at the start of the season.
There are going to be jokes about a QBs terrible pass getting re-accommodated for a pick-six and quips about a player taking two penalties in the same quarter getting involuntary re-booked. And if the Coliseum is sold out and down to standing-room-only admission, college football Twitter will descend into chaos.

Will their cryptofascist marching band add Rhapsody in Blue to their repertoire?

I hope not. I love that composition.

I used to love it too, until United turned it into a jingle. And now whenever I hear it, I imagine getting beaten and dragged off a plane.
