tomur67 Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Just wondering if the home team techies can crank up the decibel levels while the visiting team is trying to call signals or snap counts.
Nextmanup Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Thanks for that article from the Post. That's just what this board needs right now, as I think most people are interested in this but don't know how it works. I just read the article. From September 4, 2020. A league representative controls the crowd noise at the games. It is to be played at a constant 70 Decibels. It cannot exceed 75 decibels. It is there to mask sounds that TV viewers would normally not hear if the stadium was filled with fans (I.E, prevent you from hearing lots of swearing on field level, perhaps?). The in-stadium crowd-noise audio is to be played in stadiums without fans. It also is to be played initially in those stadiums with fans, and the league told teams that it will reevaluate the use of artificial crowd noise in stadiums with fans as the season progresses. *** So it sounds like there probably was this noise pumped into the game at KC, which explains why it sounded a lot louder than 16,000 fans could generate to my ears. We were discussing that a lot in the game thread. 1
TigerJ Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 When the is a full stadium, the decibel level rises far higher than 70-75. Teams would have any trouble with the piped in noise. We'll have to wait an see if Belichick finds a loophole. I think the Patriots must have a guy on salary whose job is to look for ways to circumvent the rules.

RyanC883 Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 is the noise only piped in when the home team is on defense?

The article said the noise was to be produced in an effort to "emulate game conditions" or something like that. I think they meant it would be played when it would be natural for the home crowd to cheer. It should be used in an unfair way (I would think) as it would normally be a home-team favored kind of thing anyway.

That’s a good question if a “league representative” is controlling that noise. How do they decide? For example, at an “away” game like Tennessee or even NYJ, I would expect a sizable crowd of Mafia making noise during the home team’s offensive series . 13 hours ago, LeGOATski said: His name's Ernie Adams.

You can bet the Patriots will be blasting 150 decibel speakers from just OUTSIDE the stadium to get it 76-77 decibels on the field.

That Pitt/NYG game was painful to watch (and hear and see nothing) . Looked like a 3rd tier high school game. RedZone Channel for me the rest of the year to keep the action level up. Individual games are pathetic viewer experience, IMO.
MAJBobby Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 I would rather not have ANY Noise piped into the Broadcast, being able to hear the calls on the field would be great (different year and I am sure coaches would hate it but does offer a different insight into this weird football year).

You tune in for the crowd noise? You might enjoy the NBA. The PA system lets you know when you should be excited with such wacky announcements as "MAKE some NOISE!!!" "Somebody SCREEEAAAAAMMMMMM!" and my personal favorite:
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Miami has been doing this for years with a full stadium. If there is one team that will violate this rule its Miami.

The Pats will neither confirm nor deny involvement. 1
