Virginia Tech's football intro involves most of the student jumping
(somewhat in rhythm, as limited by BAC) to "Enter Sandman," by
Metallica. This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPQkvLWWaUE from
0:40 to 0:45 shows the metal endzone stands. I sit in the old farts
section, on concrete, and can still feel the vibration of the system
during the intro.

They said on ESPN once that the engineering department did a study to make sure everything was "structurally sound" and could handle the vibrations and impact loads. I understand they have a good engineering dept so I would rest easy cheeseheads. Being a Florida State alumnus at the moment there is no fear of anyone jumping up and down in unison at our stadium, and I don't think groans of disappointment can affect a structure.
