AFJF Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 If you're the league and trying to play games and keep things as genuine as possible, do you consider pumping crowd noise in to stadiums to create some of the elements teams would actually face on game day? I can't imagine a game in complete silence and offense/defense being able to perfectly hear everything opposing players/coaches are saying.

Popular Post PS17 Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 I was watching a German soccer game this weekend and they had noise being pumped in. Traditional chants and singing. It sounded better than the other game I watched played in complete silence. I don’t really care that much; I just want football. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JustInFudge Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have on record, there will be fans. Not sure at what capacity but they will be in the stadiums. My assumption is either half full with distancing rules in place or some percentage like that...which I think will lead teams to pump noise in no matter what. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it would work with season ticket holders. I've heard a few different theories but I think each team is going to have their own spin on how they distribute tickets. The ideas I've heard but again, this is pure speculation; tenured season ticket holders will get priority/a full lotto system for this year/every other game rotation for season ticket holders/full reset on the orders for the year and it would be like purchasing a concert ticket., etc. I dont have details, my sources wont give me specifics but I can confirm on NFL communications; there will be a season and there will be fans in the stadium. It's May, so I'm sure this subject to change but that's where the conversation is at and it's more about they make it work ie; your question and I'm sure a lot of others 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 mnf has been pumping in fake crowd noise into their broadcasts forever. imo the biggest issue with the crowd noise will be at places like seattle and the patsies where the crowd does impact the play on the field. it'll make every site neutral.

SAR I Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 In the stadium, no, there shouldn't be any faked crowd noise. This could lead to a stadium sound guy influencing the outcome, can't have that. On TV however, we need a) crowd noise, b) on field reporters, and c) CGI crowd effects. It's not hard to make a game look like it's being played in a full stadium, so the networks should do just that. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56mehl56 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Actually I think Atlanta was the team/stadium "caught" doing it. But Seattle with the 12th man crap , they say how loud it is and they pan the crowd and a majority are sitting down not making noise, most teams probably do it to some degree but I suspect Seattle has been doing it for years.

Someone decided the crowd's chanting might have been offensive to one or two people, so they replaced it with fake crowd noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I would love to see the league/tv networks amp up the on field mics, mic up players, coaches etc and have that be the sound of the game outside of the broadcasters. However I think that could potentially cause issues with giving away audibles and scouting type things for future opponents, so probably extremely unlikely.

IndianaJet Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 After looking at some of the pictures of various scenes around the country this weekend, I'm now convinced stadiums will see normal sized crowds if they allow fans in. People just don't seem to care. I suspect the NFL will allow fans in the stands, with very little social distancing with a request to wear a mask. They apparently did it in 1918....they'll do it in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezza Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I reckon there will be fans in certain sections and rows of the stadium and the lower stands will have huge banners of the team logo/ NFL advertising so when the camera is close the empty seats can not be seen.
