Re: FedEx crowd noise

OK... I agree... 2-1 at the break is great... project that out for the season and that is 10 wins.... That is damn good....

I was sitting in section 438, and I have to agree that they were pumping in some noise. Both my wife and I were commenting on it.

Let's not slam the guy for having an unpoplular opinion.... He may actually have a point, like it or not.

Re: FedEx crowd noise

I sit in 436 and I can guarantee that we piped in the crowd music. The speakers are pointed right at me. Now was it simply piping in the crowd noise from the crowd?...probably Is this illegal? I don't know but it shouldn't be. I believe the Colts got in trouble for piping in false crowd noise with speakers directed right at the field. The speakers I am sure were running noise were pointed away from the field.

Re: FedEx crowd noise

Do The Redskins Pipe Fake Crowd Noise? - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

It happened, they played artificial noise, deal with it. You could tell because the way it both started and stopped. When the noise level is say at 4 (for example) and then it jumps to 10 and then jumps back down to 4 its pretty obvious. Whether you believe it or not, it happened.

Re: FedEx crowd noise

Watching on TV Sunday, it did strike me as the loudest I had heard the Fed Ex crowd on TV. In past years, I've attended 3-5 games a year, usually in section 436, and I never noticed sound being pumped in.

That said, I was embarrassed when the Danny used to have "DJ Johnny" provoke the crowd going into 3rd and long defensive plays. It was as if he thought that Skins fans were too stupid to understand the need to get rowdy. I took that as a collective insult against the football intelligence of Skins fans.

Re: FedEx crowd noise

I sat in section 129 and both my wife and I guarantee that there WAS in fact artificial crowd noise being played during the Giants Offensive plays. Right before the snap it would be played and then as soon as the ball was snapped it was stopped. It was blatantly obvious to both my wife and I. I could definitely tell when it both started and stopped. Those that doubt that this happened don't have a clue, because I was there and heard it plain as day.

[QUOTE=dirthogs311;356785]I dunno how often stadiums pump crowd noise out of their speakers, but the redskins pumped it out on every single defensive series at yesterday's game.
