First sample of the crowd noise the NFL will be playing.

What’s the point? To make the players more comfortable or for the tv audience?

A bit of both I'd imagine. Plus, probably not great if each bench could hear what the others are saying.

Oh that's creepy. Like the ghost of crowds past.

This is just dumb. One of the interesting things about watching combat sports during the pandemic is that it's a very different experience being able to hear fighters talking to each other, hear all the advise of the corners, occasionally even hearing fighters acknowledge the commentators mid-fight. I prefer live audience, but I appreciate the different experience of near silence. I was kind of looking forward to getting a similar experience with NFL football.

Maybe it will help to cover up some of the non-stop swearing as well.

Yeah that too

brings back sweet memories of the old falcons stadium

 

they would turn it off during commercial breaks and you could hear the air conditioners humming.

If football is on TV I won’t care.  It’ll be fine. Lots of other important  things to critique like making sure none of the coaches look stoic on the sidelines. Got no time for nitpicking the small stuff.

Sounds like the NFL confiscated the Atlanta Falcons “Crowd Noise” CDs #28to3

The fake fan noise is so annoying.  I can barely watch the NBA & NHL games because of it and they try to make it subtle. I’d rather hear the natural sounds of the game.  Keep it all real!!

Everyone was laughing at the Falcons a few years ago for pumping in fake crowd noise, but who’s laughing now? They were way ahead of the game!

I have been watching soccer games on TV with and without the crowd noise. I can tell you it’s a much better experience with the crowd noise, you forget they’re playing in an empty stadium and don’t hear the constant shouting between the players.  It was just weird and depressing without the noise.

Yeah I watched a couple matches without the noise which was interesting (I’m a massive LFC supporter my whole life and hearing Milner on the pitch was awesome) but I still preferred the noise. It just made it feel more dramatic and intense
