Gillette Crowd - Thank You!

Awesome fans! Awesome noise! Can we match or beat that in the two remaining regular season, and also the Playoff games?

If so, the Patriots should very well be back in THE SHOW!\

Great job. More to come.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

It looked like the crowd was standing on just about every play.

We were at the very back of Section 216... NO one in the sections (save a couple of Jets fans) sat down for the WHOLE game... and only a few (less than 5% of NON Jets fans) left the game until the very end.

The place was rocking... I have no voice, at all... I think Zolak said it best: The team actually made everyone believe last night. I know most of us already did... but EVERYONE did last night.

And, btw... EVEN the red seats were rocking last night.. not sure if the whine and cheez crowd had to give up their seats to get their beauty rest... but they were there yelling and STANDING... like all of the rest of us.

Listing from home, the crowd was out of control, and I absolutely loved the Pats fan that had a lamp on his head with the Patriots logo.

The intensity of the crowd was definitely evident last night. I am almost as proud of you guys/gals that were there last night as I am for the team. I hope the same crowd shows up when I am at Gillette for Pack vs Pats in 2 weeks. BRING IT! I can't wait, I think this was a huge moment for the this defense to gel and get ready for a strong finish. GO PATS!

Did I hear an "overrated" chant?

That's what I loved the most about the crowd. The first time it started up, it sounded like just a few people who may have been sitting close to the ESPN mics. Then it sounded like the whole crowd got into it the second time. Awesome.

Props to the crowd, as I actually heard them for the first time in forever. However, it wasn't that great, there were still a lot of empty seats in the 4th. I know, I know, its cold and you have to go get your booze on.

But if my team is kicking ass in the biggest game of the year I stay till the very end and soak it up with them.

The stadium was rocking all night, even late in the game. Whenever the Jets had the ball everyone was making noise. You guys played a part in this huge win.

Amen to that...:.huge thanks to all the pats fans who were there last night cheering the team on...you guys were part of the reason that the pats were so pumped....and man were you guys LOUD!!....awesome display of why we have the greatest fans in the world!!...and dealing with that cold couldn't have been easy!!

Tip for those of you watching at home and use a 5.1+ receiver:

If you can access the channel volumes (i.e. Front L, Front R, Center, Surround L, Surround R, etc.), you can completely mute the announcers for most football broadcasts by lowering the Center to -10. You can also raise the crowd noise by raising the other channels to +10.

Your receiver may have a different way of enumerating the channel volumes, but it should work for you. Anytime I'm focused on a game, I mute the announcers and have found that the game is much more enjoyable, and feels more like you're actually there.

By the end of the game I was halfway up on the lower section, sideline at the endzone. It was awesome. Every time a group would leave in front of us, we'd jump up ahead a row. I was screaming until the end.

That final 4th and 5 play from the Jets was awesome the crowd got really into it, the players were really into it, it was amazing I am so glad I was a part of it. My voice is SHOT today.

I felt almost bad for the Jests fans after. Almost.

I always thought Gillette Stadium itself was a "quiet stadium" because it is so open. Boy was I wrong. Great job to all the fans at the game! Keep it up for the rest of the season and into the playoffs (as long as we get some home games)

Had a GREAT time last night, fans in my section stood the whole game and got loud at appropriate times.

It didn't just end at the stadium!

Jets Can't Even Escape 45-3 On Team Plane

Folks were standing much of the game. Place was rockin. Folks here in NE hate the Jets.

Born and mostly raised in MD, never been to a game, may never be, but I guaran-damn-tee you I hate the Jets no less than any of you!

Thanks to everyone who went to the game and cheered their @$$ off.

It proves that although the design of the stadium is not ideal, the stadium can rock if the fans are into it.

Now they just need to lock the doors to the fidelity club just after kickoff and not open it until the game is over.

Yeah, I gotta say, it was the first time in my recent memory that Gillette sounded like the road stadium crowds we usually have to play against. I wondered if ESPN had done something to boost the crowd noise in the audio feed, but the testimony of those of you who were there suggests that was not the case. It was great to hear!

Easily the best crowd of the year, lets keep this trend up. The crowd has been pretty loud as a whole this season. Ravens, Vikings and Colts games were all pretty loud, but this was the loudest I have heard the Razor in awhile.

Seriously the crowd noise seemed to make a difference. I love seeing it/hearing it. Great to give the advantage to the home team for a HUGE game and win. Great job and keep rooting till you are hoarse if you are among the lucky few to have seats at Pats games this season.

I was standing and screaming the whole time. This was my first ever pats game and boy was it awesome. I loved the horn and the "This is our house song". I was in 308 but boy was i pumped.

Bears fan here but went to the Pats game on Monday. First Pats game and have to say what great fans you are from the tailgating to the noise during the game. I did wear my Pats gear but hoping for a Bears win on Sunday.

Go Bears!

Simple question:

Isn't it more fun when the crowd is INTO the game and not worried about getting out early to beat the traffic?

I originally had this on another thread but, on further review, it fits better here.
