Beef Jerky Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Guess they can't get a natural crowd noise... Falcons fans should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 The most embarrassing part is it didn't even help. Dead last in total defense in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons fans should be ashamed of themselves.Seahawks have been accused of the same (and several others) Might have more effect than psi, honestly, depending on the volumes - let's see the calls for year long suspensions!

Seahawks have a stadium built to amplify crowd noise. They don't pipe it in off of loud speakers. They built the stadium to bypass a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They don't need to be disciplined. The public shaming should be sufficient. Atlanta is right up there with phony sports cities like seattle and LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've heard it can be traced to luxury boxes, high ticket prices and a more polite crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built the stadium to bypass a rule. I'm aware of the stadium design. I'm also aware of teams accusing them of getting extra juice from the speakers. It's been brought up a few times I remember.

Mr. WEO Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Seahawks have a stadium built to amplify crowd noise. They don't pipe it in off of loud speakers. They built the stadium to bypass a rule. What rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What rule? I think he's implying their stadium design makes it so they don't have to pipe in sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think he's implying their stadium design makes it so they don't have to pipe in sound... It's hard to imagine that they were able to engineer the stadium to maximize sound amplification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's hard to imagine that they were able to engineer the stadium to maximize sound amplification. True or not, it's regularly discussed during their home games. I assume it can be engineered, to a degree. How much better there's is at funneling noise to the field I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much better there's is at funneling noise to the field I don't know To a great degree. Public venues have been engineered for sound transmission for a couple thousand years. Usually it goes the other way, though - stage to audience, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What's funny is Seattle has more false start penalties on themselves at home then the away teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
