London Fletcher - "Fans, be louder"

Conversely the noise in Mercedes Benz Superdome was loud enough that my wife wore ear plugs all game. Loudest seemed to be when the Redskins fans grouped in the lower section behind the Skins bench were chanting "RGIII!" at the end of the game as he came over.

The Saints have nice fans, very drunk but lots of fun.

Last season we were at Seattle and I think due to the weather and the standings of both teams the crowd were fairly subdued.

Haven't been back to Fed Ex since 2005, opening day kick-off against the Jets. The place was insane and I was a little giddy about the whole experience, it being my first time there.

You feel the noise more in a smaller stadium with the fans closer to the field like in RFK. I'm no sound engineer but I think the acoustics of RFK helped that "crowd noise" feel that FedEx can't

i've read that before too. the fans are being just as loud as other fans... the acoustics at FedEx are just not good.

I'm a little surprised. It REALLY sounded (across the TV) like FEDEX was really on fire..........
Not like BITD at RFK.......but

weren't they also able to "sneak" the diesel horn into rfk?

has anyone been to a ravens game? i haven't been in several years, but they do a great audio/visual job to help keep fans involved.

ravens example: when the ravens would get a 1st down, they played some video w chains moving and audio of chains clanking, i don't remember them playing any commercials during the actual game.

redskins example: redskins get a 1st down, they play a commercial for a local bank, really inspiring stuff.

lame

Watching on tv, after RG's long run it sure sounded LOUD. But maybe that was just me. :)

There are 3 reasons that FedEx is not that loud:
1. The amount of opposing fans (there were a ton of Vikings fans in my section). I was in the mens room when I heard cheering, I knew the vikes were close to scoring. I thought we had intercepted again, but the vikings TE scored. The cheering was so loud I thought it was for the skins.
2. The club level is never sold out, most of the attendees are corporate types that are not going to cheer.
3. The open roof and design doesnt create the acoustic bounce back that stadiums like RFK used to.

This is especially true in Seattle where the shape of the stadium funnels all the sound down to the field.


Yup....it's insanely loud and those fans never ever sit down. Super dome is pretty damn loud too, especially when they chant "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?"

Going to these stadiums is an experience.

If we keep winning the opposing fans will start to have trouble buying tickets.

Fletcher needs to worry more about getting beat on jump balls.

Thats the two most pressing issues. When I see film of old RFK rocking it looks full of hard core middle class die hards. Die hards have a hard time explaining spending so much geetus going to a game with economic struggles at home. It showed an endzone shot from behind the offense yesterday during an important Vikings drive in the 4th quarter you could see the stands behind the defense everyone was sitting there like they were in church. Jerry world has it worse by far full of cocaine and boob job types that dont have a clue about fb they treat going to a game like a vacation experience.
