Yall are hilarious. Its 10 to 15k people outside the stadium in the gamezone who never step inside. Now yall want everyone inside the bank lol. Its always been a sound stage in the tailgate area. Usually its just 90.1. This year is bigger and better entertainment. Yall asked for more entertainment , A&T has provided Nah bro...having a deejay spin records on a soundstage while handing out prizes from 97.1 or 102 Jamz is NOT the same thing as having a Brand Nubian concert going on WHILE the game is being played. Not the same thing at all. That's a pretty major draw for people of my generation (50-35) and would definitely have me and other folks in that age bracket prematurely heading for the exit. Probably some even younger folks too. The team shouldn't have to compete for support with a hip hop concert going on right outside while they are playing. The worst part about it is that they could CLEARLY do both things. Again, either have the concert before or after the game. Hell...if they held it before, it seems to me that you would stand the best chance of getting those folks to head into the stadium afterwards to keep the party and energy going. It's just a major letdown that this couldn't be coordinated better in order to draw support to the team.

Maybe the promoter thought the game was only two hours long?

I think I know one Brand Nubian song, but I definitely want to check it out just for the experience and to be able to say I've seen them live. Maybe I've given up hope, but by time Brand Nubian comes on, I have a feeling the came will be out of hand anyways.

I know everyone talking about All for 1 but I thought Slowdown was there best song. It will be a good day for music lovers with A&T band at half and the Brand Nubian show after it.

They got soooooo many hits. Slowdown was their most commercial hit, but not even close to their best song.

What’s disrespectful. To the athletes is leaving after the halftime show as a matter of routine. We’ve accepted that as a part of the culture so they may as well have a concert after they leave. i don't think the majority of folk who leave their seats after the halftime show necessarily leave the stadium. a lot of them go to the restrooms and concession stands because they didn't have a chance to go immediately at the end of the 2nd quarter because they stayed to watch the halftime show. but as soon as the performance is over, they head to the restrooms and concession stands. pwc fans "automatically" go to the restrooms and concession stands at the end of the 2nd quarter because their bands aren't entertaining enuf to keep you in your seat like hbcu bands do. of course i'm not gonna say that "all" hbcu fans return to their seats after the halftime show cuz indeed some do leave, but "most" of them return to their seats unless its a "lopsided blowout" game like howard at ghoe in 2019...

Slow Down Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down All For One Back Up Off The Wall Wake Up Don't Let It Go to Your Head Love Me Or Leave Me Alone Word is Bond
Not to mention a ton of remixes and guest appearances AND Grand Puba's solo joints. Brand Nubian was huge in the late 80s early 90s. Huge.

Having this at the Central game before the 6pm kickoff would've been perfect.

1st of all we all maybe taking this "concert" out of context. I'm thinking those groups will each do a few bangers then keep it moving.
And 2ndly, THE SOUNDSTAGE SHOULD NOT BE THE REASON TO GO OR NOT TO GO INTO. The sole reason for being out there should be to fellowship and support the Aggie Football team.

i'd luv to see them bring "team familiar" back for ghoe on the soundstage. "team familiar" is a go-go band from the dmv and they had the after game ghoe crowd rockin' in 2019...
