....where the very high travels costs are defrayed by the host sponsor - ie Bowl or Shamrock. They will in most years thought, travel via bus to an away game with time, budget and schedule allow
I think Charlie Weis paid for a pep band to go to the game in 2006 and Kenn Ricci paid for the full band to go in 2008.
I think we finally crossed the 50 yard line in the 4th quarter

They’re about as sensitive as a cold toilet seat.
We closed 2005 at the old Stanford Stadium, its last game before demolition/renovation (bulldozers were rolling hours after the game). The significance of that probably lead them to let the band in to close the house; find a replay, and you'll see them there.
Ever since, at least for the games I've paid attention, Stanford has indeed had their band in attendance. No idea whether they also performed field shows, bur hopefully another poster who was there in-person can chime in.

The Stanford band has played multiple times when ND has played in Palo in the 2000s. I'm familiar with the ban when Stanford plays in South Bend.
But yes, they are awful. They think they're really clever and laugh at their own jokes but they're just bad all around.
Irish Potato famine. >2million dead. Genocide is so funny. At least to Stanford students. Hope we run it up.
