BillsMafi$ Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bit more of a home field advantage Decibel level of music and audio prompts (“It’s 3rd down!”, foghorns, train whistles, etc.) previously were capped at 75 decibels. Now, no limit. As always, it must be shut off when play clock hits :20, but teams hope to regain a bit of home-field advantage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked, and there is still a limit, they just raised it from 75 to 90. The exception of no limit is for the announcer and whatnot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It should be raised to whatever the home field average DB level is. They have measured it in every stadium, they know the numbers, and it should only be shut off after a play ends and ramp up after they break huddle. That is the fairest thing to do to replicate true home field advantage. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Let’s see if the jackwagons that control the stadium sound actually know how to take advantage of it. In game 1 I recall them playing sound while the Bills were on offense. At this point, who doesn’t know that you shouldn’t do that? They don’t strike me as the brightest bunch. If there’s no limit, crank it. Edited September 26, 2020 by TheProcess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 If it all has to be shut off when the play clock hits :20, then Brady’s...whoops, I meant Cam’s helmet mic is still good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hooray for Hollywood. This is straight out of central casting. Let’s authenticate the game by putting cardboard cutouts in the seats and piping in crowd noise. It has to be more like wha the players are used to in practice, only quieter, but still there must be a surreal quality about the whole charade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So far the best thing to happen in an NFL stadium related to piped-in crowd noise was last week when whoever was calling the shots in Philly actually booed the Eagles coming off the field. That was fantastic. 3 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during some of the worst seasons during our drought, Buffalo has always been voted as one of the toughest places to play for the visiting team. (Kansas City, Green Bay, Oakland, Philly) That's actually a real sore spot for me this year, probably the toughest thing for me to deal with. Not just the fact that we can't have fans in the stands, but the fact that this is BY FAR the most complete, competitive, and talented roster we've had SINCE our glory years!! So yeah, this is a good thing to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they they should do it more often. Unlimited crowd noise with announcers having a decibel limit of 50 sounds about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It appeared as thought the Seattle crowd noise was quite loud during the NE game. Maybe the broadcast did that on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
