Hey all,

I was at the Giants/Niners game when Bon Jovi performed at halftime. To my horror, yes, there were a lot of boos but I am almost positive they were because

YOU COULD BARELY, AND I MEAN BARELY, HEAR THE BAND.

I was not even 4 sections away from the band, on the same side as them, lower tier, and you could barely hear them being announced and you could barely hear the band. It's totally not the band's fault, from what I understand this was the first halftime concert ever at giants stadium, and i think they needed to figure some more sound stuff out. The mikes must've been way turned down, or they speakers not working, because I was close, and if I hadnt known better, I never would have known what song they were playing.

I went to the game for the sole purpose of seeing bon jovi (i actually was able to get a ticket) and I truly was disappointed in it, I couldn't hear them! You could hear the Richie's guitar the best, but vocals and everything else were barely audible. That's why there were boos and silence when Bon Jovi was announced...unless you could see them, you'd never know they were out there. I heard the times square concert on the radio, and they sounded great. But the halftime show, you could not hear.

I truly feel bad for the band because I know what a horrible reception they got. I screamed as loud as I could to try to show my support and couteract the boos.

Bon Jovi, it wasn't your fault, you were booed because no one could hear you or you being announced. Please fans, don't think the state of New Jersey hates Bon Jovi. I'm a Jerseyan, I love our boys, and yes, Giants fans are stupid creatures, but i blame the stadium or stage crew because all anyone could talk about after their performance was how they couldn't hear it and didn't even know what song they had played.

I hope this clears things up for all the wondering fans. You simply couldn't hear the band. I went to their One Wild Night concert last year at Giants Stadium and it sounded great, loud and amazing like a bon jovi concert. I guess the halftime rush to setup caused this problem. I'm so sorry to Bon Jovi, you guys never deserved to get booed. But hey, you looked great!
