Fact is...instead of adding seats to increase crowd noise wine & quiche connoisseur Robert Kraft blew away 1,500 ST end zone seats owned by the plebs so that the truly beautiful people with the box etc. seats could pay another premium $$$ to have yet another venue to socialize, pay $$$ for wine and food and pretty much ignore the game.
You go Bob!

Petey is right. Compared to Seattle raucous 12th person, Gillette sounds like a library reading room.

Yeah...the point is we all know this and went over it when we first found out what Kraft was planning. I personally do NOT need Pete the ****in' cleaner sharing his obvious opinion. He ruined a super bowl teaqm with a bright future in three short years. He can FOAD

El Pres Portnoy's take

How ****ing dare Pete Carroll say….wait a second. What did he say? That Gillette is a quiet non intimdating place to play? Gee ya think Pete? It’s a well known fact Gillette crowds suck especially during the regular season. It’s a wine and cheese crowd for sure. Everything Carroll said is 100% fact. Pats fans are spoiled, complacent and quiet. This happens to any franchise that wins for 20 years straight. So I’m not even sure why this is a story. You want to know when Pats fans were loud? In Arizona when Goodell handed us the Lombardi trophy and all the Seawhawks fans were waiting in line for cabs. That’s when Pats fans get loud. When we win superbowls. It’s tough to get the blood flowing in November.

Eff off Pete. They couldn't show him enough on TV Sunday night. I am so tired of him. And yes he did get a raw deal here but that was so long ago.

I guess that jives with what another poster was saying about "fans getting loud at the wrong times"

It absolutely happened. There was a clear, zoomed-in, multi-second shot on TV of Brady signalling the crowd to shut the hell up. Pathetic that he had to do that.

Back when the tickets were $27 you'd get a different crowd than what we have now.

Yup! And beers were cheaper so that helped!

Shhhhh!!! Can't you guys be quiet? The babies sleeping!

I've noticed this a lot too when going to games. The crowd doesn't get loud when the other team is in the huddle, but only when they get to the line and then not always loud enough in enough time to really affect them.

I've heard the stadium get loud and it's usually when the Pats get touchdowns or some huge play is made. The loudest I've heard the stadium (and I've said this many times) was the dropped pass that ended the Ravens comeback chances in that 2009 regular season game. Deafening...

Of note, during the 2011-2012 years, when the D could never get off the field on third down, I noticed a lot of people just got tired from consecutive drives of screaming their heads off, only to have the opponent convert on the third down and then the cycle starts again, over and over.

Your last paragraph is absolutely spot on, in my opinion. Great observation... happening this season, also...

Been to every game except Houston. Seahawks game was the loudest by far. I was disappointed again at the empty red seats after half time though.

This brings back happy memories, for multiple reasons..

Yeah what ever the reason or excuse is.. the bottom line is the Gillete Stadium crowd just isn't very loud.

Carroll also had some comments about the Buffalo kicker embellishing his reaction to Sherman's hit. Seattle won that game, too. Pete's a pretty poor winner, yet that doesn't get the attention that, say, Belichick not delivering a meaningful enough handshake does.

I really don't know....did he offer his two cents unprompted or was it a response to a reporter's question.

If unprompted I agree it seems silly and unnecessary.

If prompted though it's really not that crazy for a coach to take a biased stance in support of his player. in fact wouldn't he actually be exposing himself to a potential fine if he acknowledged an incorrectly call by a ref?

I recall looking across the field at one point and thinking the same thing barely a soul in the red seats and there were so many Seahawks fans in the lower level concourse and even more when I got to the 3rd level concourse. Friends were discussing how did they not only get seats but good seats only to find that on a personal note I had to sell one of my three season tickets to the game due to an illness and placed the face value ticket of $155.00 on the Patriots ticket exchange only to find that the "Seahawk" fan who occupied the seat had purchased off StubHub for $285.00 this is the second occurrence in which I had put seats on the exchange that were purchased off StubHub. I did contact the Pats ticket office the first time and never received a reply.

Worst home crowd in the NFL. Bad combo of wine and cheese and pinkhats.

I could have sworn I saw Brady trying to quiet the crowd while the Pats were on offense last night.

Yeah - those Seahawk fans travel well

Man, I urge you to follow up on this. Because if this is going down, that is some seriously shady ****.

That really pisses me off.

I don't hate the guy, but as I always say, (Don't you just want to slap that cud out of his pie hole?).

Welcome to Bobby's, champagne, caviar, sneaker, jersey emporium... Man these owners just cannot see the forest for the trees. They will fall off a cliff screaming, "WE GOT IT RIGHT!!!".

Nothing he said was a lie. Most successful teams ( Lakers, Spurs, Patriots, Cardinals) have quiet crowds. Why? Because they win. Winning=higher ticket prices. Higher ticket prices means more wine and cheese fans.

Patriots have never had a home field advantage when it comes to noise. It's embarrassing seeing the environment in a Buffalo compared to here.

Man, we had Browner, Revis, Chandler, and Collins in our defense. 4 really good/great players for that year. I miss that.
