The University of Pittsburgh announced some changes for home football games. In a controversial move, the beloved tradition of fans singing "Sweet Caroline," will be replaced with Sarah McLachlan's, "I Will Remember You." Additionally, while the song is playing, the sad tortured animal videos commercial that the song is often associated with will be displayed on the Heinz Field video screen. A member of Pitt's media department, Joyce McDougal, was asked about the change. "Well, we wanted a song that was more representative of the mood of the fans in the stadium. We know they're miserable so we wanted music that would match that emotion."
McDougal continued, "We're also doing away with some of the other 'hype' songs that have been played at the venue. No more 'Crazy Train' and all of that nonsense. You'll hear A LOT of Tori Amos and, 'Stan' by Eminem. Further, during big 3rd downs for the defense, we'll be playing Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt.'"
