Purdue installs train horn to Ross-Ade Stadium

Purdue scored 20 touchdowns in six home games last season. If Jeff Brohm has anything to say about it, that number will go up in 2018. Considerably.

And with each touchdown, the opponent’s eardrums will be punished with a new train horn sound effect.

The train horn blends with the school’s branding as an engineering school. The Boilermakers wear train-themed helmets from time to time, and this will continue to build on the program’s identity after going far too long without one.

Now it’s Brohm’s job to send everyone straight from Ross-Ade Stadium to their local otolaryngologist.
