As a HUGE Pats fan I’ve been actively reading this message board for about a year now. After seeing this topic, I felt I had to register and submit a reply.
I’ve been a Patriots season ticket holder since 1994 and I’ve been to 4 different NFL venues in the past 4 years (Green Bay, Buffalo, NY ~Giants~ and KC). Both the old Foxboro Stadium and Gillette Stadium are by far the quietest. It is true the noise gets a bit louder come playoff time, but a regular season game at Arrowhead is MUCH louder than a playoff game at Foxboro.
When I’m at a game I can not believe it when someone behind me tells me to sit down. I certainly don’t want to block someone’s view, but it’s not like we are attending a lecture or a seminar. It’s a football game! Before the games I even try to rally my fellow tailgaters by reminding everyone to be loud on D especially 3rd down. More often than not it sounds like a church.
Some of this can be blamed on the facility, but in my opinion the main reason is the lack of passion in expensive seats down low. It’s become like a sushi crowd down there (I like sushi….just not at a football game).
If more people were half as passionate about the Patriots as they are the Red Sox, the stadium would be rocking all season long. Let’s bring it this year!
