FedEx crowd noise

[FRPLG]

I can say that I have been to every game for the last 3 seasons and this was the first time I noticed it. It was clear to me, beyond any shadow of doubt, they were doing it. It wasn't just noticeable but it was obvious. Unless the crowd directly beneathe the corner endzone speaker that pointed directly at me was simply extra extra loud then it defintely happened. My question is this. Does anyone really care? I don't think it helped any. I doubt it did much other than get the crowd going a little more.

My friend STU was at the game and I asked him about it and he said that yes the Stadium was pumping out crowd noise through the loud speakers.

That's wrong.

Hail Skins

Plus, there's nothing really to say. Can anyone here prove what they are accused of? Was it unique to this game? Is it unique to the Redskins?

I said before that I know I've mentioned this on this site in the past (I just can't find my post). It may have been around the time that either the Colts or the Seahawks were accused of this.

As far as proof, how is anyone going to be able to provide proof of this? If you're there you either hear it or you don't.
Of course 90,000+ people are going to be loud as all hell but that doesn't mean that the people who run the stadium would never pump in sound. Hell, maybe they do it to try to pump up those 90,000 people and get them to yell louder.

I'm sure someone has already said this, but the Colts were caught putting in a base undertone when their defense was on the field during 3rd down or something. This effectively increased crowd noise I assume because someone found out.

I was there and I didn't notice it. It was VERY loud but I don't think we did anything illegal like pumping sound through the speakers. I do think that the crowd noise was the loudest I have ever heard it.

Maybe it has to do with where you sit in relation to the speakers. When I sit in my normal seats I notice it because the speakers are right behind us, but I've also sat in the club and lower levels and not heard it.

IMO, what I've heard sounds more like when you're talking to someone on the phone and they set the handset down for a minute for whatever reason. You sort of hear that background buzzing sound but nothing too specific. It doesn't really sound like they are completely blasting the sound of yelling and screaming.

I sat in the upper level right beside a speaker and did not notice any of that buzzing noise or anything comming from the speakers as any play was going on. I have worked sound in my past and you listen for those types of things so you can correct the problem and I would think that I would have noticed any kind of buzzing as you talking about. Now sometimes you will get a buzzing sound from the speakers without having any fead to them just because of all the power in the system and one little thing like a slight short in any cord. I'm not saying I'm an expert but I have worked sound for Chuck Berry, Alantic Rythem Section, Willie Nelson, and a few others so I do know a little about sound systems.

I wasnt aware that this was considered "wrong" or "not fair". Havent colleges been doing this for years. I would almost guess that quite a few NFL teams add some crowd noise via speakers. To me, I dont think its that bad.

I know its not allowed in the NFL and would think the same for college.

I was in 217. I heard the fake crowd noise coming from the speakers at perfectly executed times. I've never heard that ever happen before at Fed Ex.

[Redskin]

as long as it was perfectly executed times I don't see the problem

Stupid thread

Wow.... nice comment. I think Dirt brought up an interesting point that alot of other fans who were at the game had the same thoughts...... If we are cheating, we want it to stop. I have a friend who is a Patriots fan who is completely embarrassed by his team's scandal.... do we want the same thing?

Ok, to believe this is going on and most have said that they have heard this at several if not all the games we would then have to believe this. That all the TV technical people, members of other teams organization, and any one else working on behalf of the NFL (not employees of Snyder) have never noticed this. I just don't believe that all of these people trained to do sound and TV could have not noticed if this was true and someone would have picked this up. When you have that many people in an area like FedEx sound can do some funny stuff.
