Nextmanup Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 "Bob" just called into WGR-550 and mentioned that he and his buddies were slapping empty seats against Indy. The aluminum seats vibrating create tremendous noise; Bob says it's like 100 people shouting as loud as they can. He said several times Rivers had to walk up to the center because he couldn't communicate over the noise. Bob implores all Bills fans to slap those empty stands on Saturday. I thought I'd try to extend the length of his reach by posting here. SLAP THOSE SEATS! MAKE SOME NOISE! 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Do.....do people not ALWAYS slap the seats when they go to games? I know I do. I also know I saw multiple pictures on Twitter after Saturday's game of people's purple, swollen hands because they were smashing the metal so hard. Like McDermott says....."Find a way". Or, in this case, he might say "Do your 1/6,700th" 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in my prime as a fan (read: drinking from 8am thru the half) I would use the three-pronged attack; yell, clap and kick the metal seatback in front of me. If the people in front were standing. They always were In my more, ahem, mature fanhood I’d still slap the metal seats around when the situation warranted. Definitely resonates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsShredder83 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) If you don't slap the seats just remember... theres a half million people who would kill for that ticket. When your hands feel a little ouchy, and you want to take a play off, remember how Cole is toughing through his knee. McDermott claps on his drive to the stadium... WWSMD?

Albany,n.y. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I personally can't stand it when people in the row behind me bang on the seats in my row. If they want to pound on a seat, they should pound on their own damn seat. Now if the row is totally empty in front of them, like a lot of seats are with the limited capacity, they can pound away, but otherwise they are vibrating the fans in front of them and I doubt too many people want their @sses vibrated while trying to watch a football game.

jkx2 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Does anybody remember back in the 90s when the stadium was in a bit of disarray that there was a metal gate that didn't latch anymore and the guy sitting next to it banged the hell out of it. It was really loud because it was right at field level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd try to extend the length of his reach by posting here. SLAP THOSE SEATS! MAKE SOME NOISE! Yes! This. So many of us in the endzone were doing it. I hurt my hands from hitting it so hard. My buddy was stomping his feet on the row in front. They had two empty rows in front of us. It made so much freaking noise. And then mix in yelling and screaming too. 1 hour ago, Albany,n.y. said: I personally can't stand it when people in the row behind me bang on the seats in my row.

Bob on the radio addressed the idea of annoying your fellow fan. He said he does this when it's a big moment and everyone is standing already, so you aren't really bothering anyone. I think there will be a lot of extra empty space too, as you note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Bay Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I remember doing this in the AFC Championship Game against the Raiders. It was literally so loud the first time we got into it that I stopped and looked up because I thought there was another jet flyover happening. It was actually startling. I can't imagine trying to call signals in an environment like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the second half of “The Comeback”, holy smokes I’ve never heard any crowd that loud before or since. Utterly deafening the entire time Houston had the ball, and pin drop silence when we were on O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'm a seat banger. My hand hurts often after games The etiquette is that nobody is seated for a far enough distance.
