First of all, I have season tix in the corner endzone, and we get pretty rowdy and loud there.
However, I attended the Florida State / Oklahoma game last night in Tallahassee, and that was BY FAR the LOUDEST outdoor crowd I have experienced. My ears are slightly deafened this morning (as I hustle to fly back for the Pats game today). The crowd was filled with men, woman and children, all RIVETED and STANDING for EVERY PLAY (alum side no less), screaming and doing the chop for 3.5 HOURS. I am pretty sure it was hard for Landry Jones the OK QB to hear most of the time.
I am told these big time college games are all like that.
My point - NFL crowds suck by comparison.
I guess this is due to a) corporate sections of dead wood pink hat, casual viewers, b) multi tiered seating (vs a single bowl where everyone is in one continuous section and if the front row stands up, the whole stadium stands up).
Am I right?
Are there really any NFL stadiums that rock like last night? What makes the difference?
In some small way, it made me sad
