The Official Fargodome Noise Thread

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Since all the other threads on this board turn into a thread about decibels, i thought we could consolidate the noise talk here.

Thanks in advance, Bizon.

My friend went to the game last weekend and he is now deaf. Shame really...

Which Bison fan is this guy?

From his Bio on that website.

Hello, nice to meet you! I'm Brian McLaughlin and I have written about sports for nearly 20 years, as evidenced by my graying hair. I have previously worked for The Sporting News covering national recruiting, as well as selecting the granddaddy of all prep postseason teams--the Parade Magazine All-American teams. Prior to that, I worked for several newspapers in Florida. I outkicked my coverage when it comes to my wife and we have three young children and no life--just like everybody who has kids.

A Florida guy who appreciates good football and good fans.

Jealous much?

Very sad to hear. Especially when he could have bought ear plugs for a $1.:D

Yes they do.

I've heard that being inside the dome is like being strapped to the space shuttle during liftoff after having ingested lighted fireworks and while listening to hard core rap through earbuds that were surgically implanted into your ear drums.

True?

Not really but it's kind of that noise where instead of yelling it just sounds like a whooshing sound in your ears? Pretty much that for half the game.

Just hope they don't make up a dumb whistle in the stands penalty, it gets worse.

...and because there's a chance you'll need them, ear plugs go for $1.

Any fan who blows a whistle in the stands, whether it's 4-time FCS Champions in an huge indoor facility or some D3 school with <1000 in the bleachers, should be escorted from the premises. And forced to swallow the whistle.

Not a surprising response coming from you. Bison56 gets it.

You clearly haven't played D1 football, maybe none at all. I'm all for rowdy crowds - stomp your feet, clap your hands, scream til your lungs ache, **** vuvuzela for all I care. But mimicking the sound an official makes to stop play, which can and does lead to chaos and potential career-ending injury? No player wants that.

So, stay classy.

Once again you're wrong. There was no whistle as evidenced by the replay. 21of the 22 kept playing. Be glad to go into my offensive stance against you even though you were NFL caliber

I wasn't referring to that specific play, and I wasn't the one who originally brought up the whistle. People do bring whistles into the stands at games. They're idiots.

[Bison56]

Not sure he was saying a whistle was blown. I think it was if a whistle gets blown. I may be wrong though.

Oh I was right.xnodx

Read on a forum somewhere that ice fishing season begins tomorrow and expected attendance will be cut in half. Could be the difference in the game.

[Ex Pat]

The dome noise is so loud it cannot be accurately measured by our primitive instruments. We are all a part of it, as it is a part of all of us. It's quite spiritual. Transcendent and what not.

Or it's a bunch of rowdy North Dakotans who just really like football yelling in a compact space with poor acoustics.

The truth lies where you will normally find it, somewhere in the middle.

you must have watched a different feed from what I saw, b/c with what I saw on ESPN, there was no way to definitively prove that there wasn't a whistle somewhere.

Not mocking. I will be part of the noise tonight.

If Richmond is able to build a 30 point deficit by mid-3rd quarter they should be able to take the crowd out of the game.

[Old Cat Fan]

How do we know that the crowd noise isn't being fed through the PA system. Was it the Atlanta Falcons that just got busted for it a while back. Is there some kind of NCAA noise police checking into this?

I heard something sounding like a whistle when I watched. Then I also saw at least one of our players just completely stop playing which seems weird to do. Would he do that just to try and get penalty on the other team and their fans? Seems like a risky proposition.

[Bisonator]

It was amazing how one UNI player stopped and none of the other players did. Seemed rather odd but whatever it had no impact on the game. Was a strange call that I have never seen before, has anyone else ever seen a play wiped out for that?

I think the speakers have been repaired since you've been here (our corner had a bad/blown speaker.....). The video boards are supposed to be updated after this season....but point taken. xthumbsupx

The Montana game last year...the speakers in my corner were bad all last season...better this year as far as I can tell.

[Bearkat-Backer]

I heard that when the opposing offense goes for it on 4th down lady fans can experience an orgasm from the decibel vibrations.

Can anyone confirm?

They don't have video replay at Richmond, instead the classical Greek drama club reenacts each play on a stage behind one of the end zones.

Even stranger was earlier when I guess the ref evidently announced that UNI had gotten a first down, but the chains were never moved. So, thinking that they only needed half a yard, UNI ran a dive play to pick up what they thought they needed for the first, only for them to move the chains and announce 2nd and 8 or so. UNI went on to score on that drive, so again, it doesn't really make any difference in the outcome of the game. But still.

Let's not act like UNI wouldn't have ran a dive play on first down...

Yes we would have gotten about the same amount of yards, but that may have been the first time all year we ran a QB sneak.

Well this is probably due to not being able to experience one any other way. That's how they get so many fans.

[yopaulie]

I'm beginning to think that the dome noise impacts the referees as much as the opposing teams. Seems like the refs have a lot of very bad miscalls (for both teams) and off days at the dome.

[Sycamore62]

Communication is really important for refs
