London Fletcher - "Fans, be louder"

[jgalecpa]

I believe it is the Acoustics.

I've had season tix for 10+ years and people people are screaming their heads off most games.

Don't know how much funnels up and out of the stadium compared to reflecting back down to the field.

That's the best way to get rid of the cheers from the opposing fans. Ultimately it will make our stadium LOUDER!

The home opener felt pretty loud when I attended. Specifically in the standing room in the 400's. People (me included) were banging on the metal rails(?) that separate each row. I felt like the fan noise actually caused the Bengals quite a few issues.

The season opener was in New Orleans as we played the Saints.

Meant to say home opener

if danny puts in the tent like he offered in his super bowl hosting bid, it'd be a lot louder. the way it's currently built, it's basically an open air stadium, and all those dream seat/expensive sections are the ones closest to the field, so unless the CEOs and corporate lawyers decide to go nuts, the team just isn't going to be hearing dome level noise any time soon.

Throw in the fact they make you pay full price for 2 preseason games and add in parking and it's not really financially smart(or emotionally rewarding) to invest in season tickets.

Making tickets cheaper wont keep the people already attending games from going.

i live in AZ and Cardinals' games have been loud as sh** in the past especially during Kurt Warners swan song .. that playoff run was the loudest I can remember stadium and it's only 55,000. HOWEVER I fly back home to DC almost every season and did so at the home opener this year. That place was blowing up pre-game and loud as hell so I have to disagree, it's simply a matter of winning. They win, FED EX will rock. You can't complain you have a quiet stadium when you lose 8 in a row. Win games, RG3, Defense things will get rowdy and I love it.

i hardly ever sit down, or am not screaming or banging on chairs or stomping... and alot of the 400's are like that... cuz i cant afford lower level and under the overhang sucks... go to about 3 games a year or as much as possible.... but i do agree with london sometimes.... cuz during tv timeouts the opposing offense is all huddled up plotting the play and the fans are near silent.... it sucks.
