Does this mean the Seahawks can continue to pump fake noise into the stadium?

Not this tired old diatribe again…There is absolutely no evidence to support this statement. People have been trotting this BS out since the days of the King Dome it’s been investigated several times and proven completely false. Century Link field is not your standard football stadium it was designed for both soccer and football and is quite frankly acoustic perfection. No speakers needed physics takes care of it. Perhaps you have forgotten the seismic activity recorded in the playoff game against the saints, but I will guarantee you no one in Seattle has. You don’t create an earthshaking event with speakers. Those of you who keep dragging out this unfounded argument are simply jealous, wishing your owners were smart enough to build a stadium like the C-Link.

They cheer when the sun comes out.
It’s Seattle for cyin’ out loud.

They are just emotional because their baseball team has never won a world series nor has the hawks ever won a Super Bowl. Add to the fact that the sonics are no more, you have a very sad sports town.

If you have been there you know better. ask the local businesses nearby if they think beastquake was pa noise!

I’m all for video boards and such, but if Seattle could stop pumping in fake crowd noise that would be great. And if they could stop using the Texas A&M 12th man, that would be great too. Their devotion to a college gimmick they stole is stupid.

Fans aren’t staying away because of the lack of noise. They are staying away because of the cost.

NFL, stop trying to trick the laws of economics and face reality. Lower the prices and they will come!

Seattle has the loudest stadium bar none. saints are neck and neck with the hawks. kc is up there and that’s it.

Dallas has the least noisy fans.

That’s news to me.

He can deny it all he wants by the speakers were hanging right outside the press box in the old RCA Dome, easy for writers to hear it and some did call him on it.
