There's probably lots of mandatory military worship and sponsorships at this stadium. And if it's anything like the football schools I've been around, the field isn't allowed to be used by any other sports and the marching band is lucky if they're able to practice there a few times a year. There isn't even a track around the field!
Also football is violent and toxic fandom is encouraged while cheering at kids who often get permanently injured from this or while playing in college. I know plenty of people dealing with long term injuries that seriously regret ever playing football.

if it's anything like band at my texas highschool when I was growing up, you can only play an instrument at school if you're also in marching band. there were no alternative options, your entire music agenda was about marching for the football players with some competition solo playing once or twice a year as an afterthought. No practice on the grass football field, ever. Practice was only ever on a black asphalt parking lot, in texas heat.
I quit playing my instrument after highschool because i perceived it only as a tool to celebrate the dumbest, shittiest people at school. I'm mad about it still twenty years later because if literally anyone in the music program in my texas education had ever even hinted at the idea that the football auxiliary marching band members could get together outside of playing john philip fucking sousa in a dumb outfit, we could have created our own music and even bands.

Oh we worked the whole back catalog
I fully believe that American football should be banned under the age of 18, and probably in colleges as well. Doing that to kids is cruel and stupid.
My knees are both fucked from playing football for a year in high school.
