There is this annoying habit at the dome of sitting down at times. I guess it's to be polite to those behind you that don't want to stand. I have been asked several times to sit down. It bugs me, but oh well. But since when do you have to stand to yell. I yell nearly every play when the other team has the ball, regardless of whether I'm sitting or standing.



Why does this surprise anyone? When the other team has the ball you yell your head off and you don't make a peep when your team has the ball. That's Home Fan 101.



Nope. One photographer said yellow jacket security guard told him so.



How can you say it sounds fake if you are not there? I know people complain about how quiet the Razor is, but that doesn't mean a loud stadium has to be fake.
DID Nance and Simms ever speak of the crowd in last season's AFCCG?? Cause it was much louder then. It's all media driven guys. They see a story, and way to stir controversy, and they do it. The TV feed last year did NO JUSTICE to the noise level in the Dome last year. They controlled their back ground noise somehow.

Easily louder!!! I was at game 6 in the 98 playoffs against the Bulls, at Market Square Arena, it was the loudest thing I've ever heard, ever.

Never dwelled much on it, figured it was just how it sounded on TV that day, but now that I think about it, the sound could be consistent with it being piped through a PA system.

Again, not trying to create a firestorm, just an observation. Perhaps others have a tape of that game and can confirm or refute?
So now you think the Steelers have fake noise now? maybe its time for everybody here to upgrade there tv.

It sounded like this: "Let's Go Colts. Let's Go Colts. S Go Colts. O Colts, O Colts, O Colts. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Static." YESTERDAY by the Beattles starts playing, and then a high pitched noise, followed by a commercial for Depends Undergarments. Then, the play ends, and the the place goes nuts, but nothing is happening on the field. The Colts leave for half time, and a chant of "Defense. Defense. Defense" rings out.

That must have been a TV only thing. I was at the game and never heard what you are talking about.

LOL I get a chuckle out of the crap they come up with every week, you would think with their 11-0 record and perfect season more then likely coming up, that they wouldn't obsess over the Colts anymore...

I get a chuckle with Colts fans still coming to the Pats boards. Talk about obsession. Get over it! You guys lost!

we didn't lose when it really counted though, you might have the regular season win but we got the AFCCG, I will take that over any regular season win anytime..

I'm rather old and the memory does sometimes play tricks on me but I seem to remember a time (perhaps in the 70's) when if the crowd noise prevented the O-line from hearing the QB, the home team would be penalized.

What ever happened to that rule (if there ever was one) and wouldn't its resurrection (implementation) obviate the need for the Colts to artificially enhance their crowd noise?

Just a thought.

Pretty sure, its an un enforced rule, still.

How horrible would it be to go to a game and not be able to scream at the top of your lungs in support of your team, though.

I look forward to coming home hoarse those couple of games I get to go to each year. Thats half the fun, to think you can help your own team by making crazy noise.

I think it was in the late 80's or early 90's. Regardless of being a Colts fan, I think it was a silly rule. It's called home field for a reason. Why not just build 16 fields in a vacuum and not let fans attend?
