For "I Promise It Will Always Be This Way" a few dozen costumed team mascots will take the
field at Lamport Stadium and work to whip the crowd into a fervent frenzy. They will cheer and clown
around, while stadium rock plays over the loudspeakers. As the evening progresses and fatigue sets in,
the mascots require cigarettes, naps, snacks and bathroom breaks. The music slows down to mirror their
lethargy. The dwindling of enthusiasm and the breaking of the illusion dash expectations as a celebration
of futility and pathos.
