I've always thought it was weird that the band wasn't a part of it. I know they have the Elephant Stomp thing at the library but it seems silly to not have them at the Walk. Auburn has always had a section of the band as part of the Tiger Walk. It seems all of the spin offs at other schools do it as well. Bama's set-up would be nice to have the band set up on the stairs with and the player entrance still freely available. I'm not saying this to be negative, but it isn't like the players really interact with the fans anyway so the sound wouldn't drown out any moment that someone might have.
I'd personally like to see them narrow the walkway the players use so there is actually some fan interaction. I know, I know I'm using the Tiger Walk as an example but there is such a different feel to it. To be able to slap their hands, pat em on the back, speak with the coaches, etc. you feel like they actually give a damn that you've stood out there for an hour to have a second of their time. Even if they don't want to talk, just narrow it down and slap hands as you walk--it would do nothing but improve the gameday atmosphere.
