SuperBills12 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I don't know what it might be, but RWS doesn't sound as loud as I remember from the early to mid 90s (on TV anyway)....When I watched games back then, the echo from the crowd coming through my TV speakers was really loud. Infact, that's what the Bills fans were known for, being the loudest right? Anyway, educate me fellas, has the voice chords been damaged, or the lack of good football in Buffalo contributed to lower levels of loudness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 A little of bad teams on the field, and the fact that it isn't 81,000 but only 75,000 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the biggest reason is the loss of those metal bench seats we use to pound on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Not to mention the changes in technology that give the broadcaster's a better handle on delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound_n_Fury Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The indoor corner sections (M&T Club, Choice One Club) cut down on the noise as well. Another factor is that many seasons ticket holders are older (less drunk!) than they used to be as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Fewer seats doesn't really explain the loss of decibel levels. Other stadiums on radio are very loud. That is their crowds are very obvious on a big play but then again they can play with that and amplify it with current technologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did hockey games we purposely used strategically placed omnidirectional mics to enhance the listener's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo mike Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 What ever happened to the loud snorting buffalo on the scoreboard? I used to crank my sound system and everybody would bust a nut laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
