joshmo65 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The train whistle is way too loud. I was listening to the game on Steelers radio and could not hear the announcers whenever the whistle was going. It was also played a lot more often than 3rd down.

Food_Pyramid_Wrong Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 They were blowing the locomotive horn while the Steelers were in the huddle on first and second downs. I would think that that would be an Atlanta type noise violation. I can agree with the locomotive horn occasionally on BIG third down attempts, but all game all the time? come on man. I went to a Arizona Cardinals game last year and was thoroughly annoyed with the artificial noise and constant crowd shots etc. No one else seemed to mind but it drove me nuts. Unfortunately I think that's the future of sporting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Maybe they should just loudly pipe-in "PERPETRATORS" every third down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Like a long drawn out gong? I was thinking a video with Ed Wang smacking the gong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I think they should play a squidgy sound and the Janiking video after every first down. And nothing is worth then the "ohhh ohhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" White Stripes 7 nation army overplayed song.

BobChalmers Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Maybe if first downs become less of a novelty they'll stop feeling the need to celebrate them?! I suspect the Pats* stadium only needs added sound effects on actual SCORING plays. Edited September 3, 2015 by BobChalmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Spartacus Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I hate the "train whistle"! We don't need fake noise at the Ralph - period! Is this a marketing thing? I am tempted to call or e-mail to tell them to knock off the stupid racket. Anyone know where to direct it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just some "game experience coordinator" douche trying to come up with new ideas in order to justify his/her existence. The Sabres games at FNC are even worse. Can't even hear the person next to you. Whistle blows to stop play = START EXCRUCIATING NOISE IMMEDIATELY!

johnwalter Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 maybe we should just play the shout song after every 1st down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Finally had a chance to sit down and watch the tape of the Bills/Steelers game. When did they start ringing a boxing/wrestling bell after every Bills conversion to a first down? I didn't hear it while at the stadium and I don't remember it from the Panthers game. It sort of grated on me and I found it quite annoying. Maybe I'll quickly develop a Pavlovian reaction to it, just wondering if you noticed and do you give it an "aye" or "nay." They've been doing the bell for years now, not sure when it started though....But they could use a change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I guess it could be worse...could be in a stadium where after every first down the PA guy screams..."...and that's another Miami Dolphins...", and then the crowd responds with a lame "first down".

Southern Bills Fan Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I remember that they had the bell before, I think in the Juron and JP Losman years. It only rang like 3-4 times a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 One more loud obnoxious sensory bomb inside that stadium. When I did a stadium experience survey sometime this summer, I basically slammed the audio/video experience. The constant wall of sounds turned up to 11 is just not necessary. This is how you know it's too loud.... when you hear the same thing twice because the sounds travels entirely across the stadium and bounces back. They have everything turned up so the speakers behind the 300 levels can be heard in the opposite 300 levels. Too damn loud. THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although someone may say it's my age talking - I am 55 and like Fred a YOUNG 55!! ) I like my music loud and enjoy a wide range of it, but the noise at the game makes it very difficult to talk to your neighbor without screaming and impossible to talk to someone two seats over! I wish they'd turn it down or turn it off. I may start bringing ear plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 With the lousy way the Steelers were playing defense, our offense kept on making first downs, like I don't ever remember experiencing before. The bell could explain all the saliva in my mouth, I suppose. Arf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't care about the bells. Hell, maybe we're just not used to earning that many first downs. Besides, Tom Brady cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
