Amen brother!! And unlike a lot of you I was saying that before and during the time they were building the Razor.

It was and is too small. Smaller than any park in the AFCE! And a couple of those AFCE bigger parks are discussing being razed and replaced with even bigger ones!

There is no provision for a fan's fan section similar to the old Cleveland Dog Pound. The chairs are just too comfy!

The stadium is "airy". That means it doesn't hold the sound, at all.

Solution: close in one end and install some benches and "cheap seats" for the fans who will go and raise the noise level. This will increase revenues, attendance, shrink the waiting llist a little, and add some spice to going to the game. Owners used to worry that fans won't buy in the poorer years. Once season ticket sellouts happen however, fans don't dare give them up, good year or bad. The Patriots are in that situation now.

They're called pseudo fans, we have a lot of them in Jacksonville who magically became fans after the Jags beat the Steelers and akwardly disapeared after the Jags lost to the Texans. Just standing there and having people complan is one thing, but when the other team is driving and your standing on your feet screaming that's one thing.

Hmmm... worst crowd I'd say Detroit, I mean c'mon they cheer for the other team.
But with Nate Millen I almost don't blame them..........they have a new logo planned

I was at the Colts game(my only home game this year) in section 137, row25, seat 18 and people where I was stood for every play all game. They were also quite loud, but it's hard to know how loud the rest of the stadium is. In the old stadium, people were packed so tight in such a much smaller area that the noise was always louder there. I always laughed when a fat guy would be walking up the aisle and people would say, "hope he isn't in our row" - The design, IMO is the biggest factor plus the wine and cheese crowd in the club/luxury seats and the upper deck is reall so far away from the field.

I do think that the problem is that the stadium is so wide open plus the wine and brie crowd that hangs out inside the club section if the weather is not perfect. Most of the real (not corporate) fans are as good if not better than any others in the country.

iF ITS THE STADIUM DESIGN THAT CAUSES THE CROWD TO SOUND QUIET AT TIMES, THEN WHY WAS THE CROWD LOUD AND GOT QUIETER THE PAST COUPLE SEASONS. IT WOULD OF NEVER BEEN LOUD. I DONT KNOW WHO WROTE IT, BUT I READ IT, THAT THE PATS FANS COULD BE SPOILED WITH ALL THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BIG POSSIBILTY.

Most fans have never attended a game as a business "guest".

Please consider what is actually taking place. You get an invite to another Company's box. You have to have proper decorum or you can damage the relationship between your firm and the invitees. So no extravagant anything. No loud cheering, booing, drinking, joking et cetera.

Now reverse the situation. Your firm has invited another businesses representative to sit in your firm's box. You can't be a showoff and jeopardize the companies name or the business relationship by being too exuberant. No excessive cheering, booing, drinking yada, yada, Yada. If it is your company's box this is probably an unusual invitation for you as well, in front of the big bosses. You can damage your career if you come off as an oaf or boor. Better to be reserved and polite and even bite your tongue rather than relaxing.

Next time you ***** about the corporate types please put yourselves in to their shoes, first...

The only ones who can relax in the company boxes are the owners by themselves, or when the box is empty without guests, or big bosses present if you are just a regular employee...

It seems that you are confusing luxury boxes with club seating. Club seat holders commune in a big indoor lounge area behind the premium "red" seats, where they can go outside to watch the game if they choose to. About half the time, they're not in their seats but inside keeping warm, watching the game on TV, or eating and drinking. My assumption is that these seats are held by corporations, and tickets are given away as perks to clients, employees, etc. In other words, non-diehard fans. These are sideline mid-level seats, the best seats in the stadium. I think the Krafts made a mistake in concentrating these seats in a key area instead of spreading them in a narrower band around the stadium. The luxury boxes, on the other hand, are behind glass and have no outside seating so those people are not a factor in the noise level.
