Jetsfan80 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-informs-clubs-of-adjustments-to-in-stadium-audio-policy NFL informs clubs of adjustments to in-stadium audio policy Published: Sep 25, 2020 at 05:04 PM Nick Shook Around The NFL Writer After two weeks of trial, the NFL is adjusting its in-stadium audio policy. The league informed clubs of several updates to the policy, including allowing stadiums with fewer than 2,500 fans to play curated audio up to 80 decibels, and no longer requiring fans with 2,500 or more fans to play curated audio at all, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The league had previously required all stadiums to play stadium-specific, pre-recorded audio it delivered to each club at 70 decibels starting at kickoff, no matter the attendance, with no allowance for raising or lowering levels. Under the adjusted policy, home clubs with 2,500 or more fans can still choose to use the audio -- known informally as the "murmur" -- and the decibel level must be selected and delivered to the league 90 minutes before kickoff, per Pelissero. The decibel level must also remain the same no matter who possesses the football, with NFL Football Operations monitoring. Another change in the adjusted policy includes removal of a decibel limit for PA announcements, music, etc., during approved times in the stadium, Pelissero added. The audio played in the stadium is intended to mimic the sound of a venue filled with fans as the league operates amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited fan attendance in some stadiums and barred fan attendance entirely in others. It is not the same crowd audio that can be heard on television broadcasts of NFL games, which are controlled separately. The league adjusted its policy after communicating with teams and receiving feedback, per Pelissero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sout0266 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 My only real complaint about the “crowd noise” is the delay after a tackle. Sounds terrible when there’s a tackle then two seconds later the cheering starts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sounds like a sarcastic cheer every time the Jets do something well, given that we're losing in a blowout. lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 sports leagues should develop an app where viewers can click “cheer” “groan” “boo” “drunken heckle” etc. and the crowd noise would adjust accordingly real time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MetLife audio guy would wear out the button for "Boo" and "Drunken heckle" if it were left up to the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelScott Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 After a couple weeks the thing that screws me up about the TV crowd noise is the sudden increase of cheers for no reason. It caught me a couple times - Usually when a play is over, when you hear a sudden increase in the crowd noise it's because a flag was thrown or there is a scuffle going on off screen that they then cut to. After several plays the past couple weeks I'll hear a sudden cheer from the crowd and look for a flag or some "little after the play activity", etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 it would be interesting to not have any fake noise at all. We would hear the players calls, pads crunching, etc. This is a rare opportunity for that and might as well have experienced it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds terrible when there’s a tackle then two seconds later the cheering starts. It's been less distracting than I expected it to be. But the fakeness of it was ridiculous when they played some polite, supportive applause when the Jets trotted off the field at halftime down 21-3. The real crowd noise, I suspect, would've been dramatically different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we might be able to pick up voices of player and what they are saying to each other on the field, which probably would make the games way more entertaining, but not necessarily for a family audience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
