Greg S Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) They are doing the crowd noise for the NHL playoffs. No surprise that the NFL would do the same. Edited August 19, 2020 by Greg S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I will be disappointed if this happens. I know teams often pump in crowd noise during practices to more closely replicate the game-day experience. But, this seems more like a creative decision on the part of NFL producers. Personally, I'm much more in favor of hearing more of what's happening on the field. Sans crowd noise, the logical creative decision for the directors, regarding the soundtrack, would be to play up all the hits, and banter on the field. Screw the canned crowd noise. Get a dozen more shotgun microphones, and a sound mixer who understands football. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Ironic. Atlanta lost a draft pick and fined for doing it, then get asked to by the league a few years later. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I’ve found the canned sound on MLB games (particularly radio play by play where it almost comes across as echoing) to be off-putting and distracting, kinda bc I know it’s fake too? IRL makes all the difference. I’m sure this won’t be any better unfortunately. I’m with @Rocky Landing on this one. Catching the first few Bundesliga matches this year with no crowd noise was actually pretty cool, getting to hear the player shouts/commands etc was more entertaining/educational. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 As long as they ban train horms I'm fine with it. On a serious note - I actually like what the NHL has done with the crowd noise for playoffs. Part of it I think is they are being skilled in how they are executing it - a lot of the time I forget that it's fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 They should place speakers around the field and charge $2 to connect to one via the web. I'll take one behind the visiting teams bench. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @NoHuddleKelly12 said, having no crowd noise, and focusing on what's happening on the field, and sidelines would be both entertaining, and educational. I think we'd all come away having a greater understanding of football. And, having the train horn without crowds would be hilarious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Seems like it would have to come with a fairly complicated set of rules about what sort of crowd reaction is appropriate under what circumstances, and at what volume, etc, and that would be a nightmare to "officiate". You always hear about visiting teams wanting to "quiet the crowd", but if the home team gets to control what the fake crowd noise sounds like, that would never happen. Also, I'm sure there would have to be a rule against "boo'ing" controversial penalties and other calls (and non-calls). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Instead of fake noise, they should mic-up a whole bunch of fans watching the game at home. Amplify that sound through the stadium so the players can also hear it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute worst: baseball, where they'll use it to show the "home crowd" disagrees with a called ball or strike. Just idiotic. I want to hear the chatter that we normally can't hear. They must have it on delay with a dump button anyway since I haven't heard all the bad words they're apparently saying ... celebrate the difference of this weird ass season, don't try to mask it!

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The geniuses who think we the fans just aren’t capable of consuming pro sports without fake adulation added to the mix, are missing the point that we all know it’s a once in a lifetime situation. The “fix” is worse than the reality they’re trying to literally paper over, which is the ultimate irony imho. The bigger question is how will this all impact even the need to try to obtain home field advantage throughout the playoffs (Other than the obvious of avoiding travel)? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
