STOP YELLING AT ME! WHICH FANS DOES YOUR NFL TEAM HATE THE MOST!
Well that's what happens when the NFL cracks down on crowd noise!
No not yet...but they are close to enforcing the tighter rules.
It seems as though many nfl superstars have been complaining about the level of noise the fans are generating (especially in Seattle, KC, Denver, GB, NE etc.)
The Quarterbacks are the first to complain about the noise as it causes a lack of communication with their team and results in a direct increase in SACKS!!! (which they don't like) :)
Obviously the Lineman are affected as well since they are getting yelled at for jumping offside before the play, kinda like Donovan Baily at a world track meet before the starting gun.
WHERE IS ALL THIS NOISE COMING FROM?
Seattle claims the title of housing the Loudest, most boisterous fans reaching levels of 110 decibels on the field of play.
There are already rules which says that the scoreboard, cheerleaders, mascots can't encourage noise when the play is running.
The NFL has cracked down by prohibiting the use of the terms Noise!," "Let's hear it!," "Raise the Roof," "Let's go Crazy," "Pump it up," "12th Man" at any time during an NFL game
AND WHY DO I CARE???
But this might not solve all the problems like
The PA system in some stadiums can't be heard clearly!
Coaches have trouble communicating with their personnel!
QB's are still having trouble communicating the play to their teammates
ANSWERS...WHAT CAN'T HEAR YA...I SAID...HERE ARE THE ANSWERS!!!
The League is looking at these solutions:
Eliminating Artificial Noise creation (apparently especially in Seattle)
Introducing headsets in away teams helmets so players can hear the QB
Using some other form of technology to assist the players on the field
No matter what they do...They better not stop the fans from doing what they like...
Drinking, Partying, or Harassing the opposing players (at a mature level of course)
After all we're the ones paying the players and coaches salaries every week!
