Texas Stadium has to be LOUD

[sk0aL]

From my experience Texas Stadium has always been pretty docile when it comes to crowd noise. We're not like Arrowhead/Mile High/Seattle when it comes to being loud.

Texas Stadium with its enclosed architecture type is perfect for generating noise and we'll need it this Sunday. We all know how Peyton loves to audible and we need to give the defense all the help it can get.

I'm hoping all the fans that go to the game know how big this one we'll be and are ready to scream their frickin' heads off.

[HTownCowboysFan]

^ It can get really loud. I agree totally with your take though. If the Cowboys are playing well, I bet the crowd will really be into it -- especially with Romo back for his first start at home.

[Rampage]

probably won't be as loud as indy's stadium with their fake noise

What fake noise? :confused:

[sk0aL]

What fake noise? :confused:

Some stadiums like Seattle and Indy have supposedly piped in fake crowd noise over the loudspeakers to make their stadiums even louder for opposing offenses.

[Rampage]

What fake noise? :confused:
there was all kinds of rumors that they were playing recorded crowd noise through the speakers in the stadium last year.

[lurkercowboy]

I hope Texas Stadium is super loud. And no booing, no matter what happens.

[Torn_ACL]

The thing that drives me crazy is how much noise the fans make when we are in the red zone. I would say it is the loudest in Texas Stadium when WE have the football, which is ridiculous.

There are always people around me yelling at everyone to get up and make noise when we are driving down the field. I always stand up and do the shut up wave with my arms but of couse it doesn't work...hell it doesn't even work if our players on the field ask for quietness.

As cheesy as it sounds, they should show a video to these idiots before the game explaining when you should be loud and when you shouldn't.:banghead:

Heck, even the Carolina Panthers fans shut up when their team had the ball.

Texas Stadium and loud don't belong in the same sentence or paragraph. They don't even belong in the same book

freakin Emmitt Smith even wrote about it in his book called "The Emmitt Zone" about how unfortunate it was that Texas Stadium was as dead as it was, even during the Super Bowl years

So don't count on it

[Doomsday101]

I want the crowd to be loud because it helps pump our guys up as they feed off the crowd. As for Manning the noise is not going to affect him one way or the other. Colts will use a silent count and his chemistry with his weapons will not be altered by the noise.

[SupermanXx]

it may start off loud, but don't worry. as soon as Indy completes their first 10 yard pass, or does something remotely good, expect the crowd to sit on their hands and *** and apply duct tape to their mouths for the rest of the game

our fans don't know how to support a team for the duration of a game like others do, unless the team is 100% perfect or up 100 to 0, which is impossible

I have been to many games at TS and your right for the most part the crowd is not noisy but I have been to games where that particular crowd was rocking the joint. Myself I have never left TS with my voice in tact, it normally takes 2 to 3 days before I can talk without my voice cracking.

[Torn_ACL]

They should have a CowboysZone section at every game to set an example. Who is with me? Someone call Jerry.

I doubt anyone that's hardcore enough to post here at cowboyszone would have problems getting up for their team

TornACL is right... we should all go to a game sometime and set a damn example

[ka0tik]

and just to add sumthing on Crowd Noise. ON CBS their crowd noise volume is awful! you can barely hear anything. [yes I know Tx Stdm. doesnt get that loud, but still ]

I think the deal is that there are so many fans coming to game for the first time, you get that sort of response. There are more of those than season ticket holders, etc.

I have to say not many like me, I refuse to boo the team I will shout out comments of encouragement like put that one behind you guys, lets go but refuse to boo my beloved Cowboys I never felt booing was any type of encouragement for any team. I may joke with fans of the other team but always in a joking manner never disrespecting them or treating them poorly. As said by games end I have lost my voice each and every single time. :laugh2:

I've never been a booer and can't stand it myself. Now, I do yell like hell during the games!

[SupermanXx]

I distinctly remember this chant when we played Arizona: COOOOOOOW-BOOOOOYS! COOOOOOW-BOOOOYS!

the Boys fans in Arizona were louder than the Arizona fans!

ever heard a chant in Texas Stadium? probably not

what the hell kinda show are they running in that place anyway... no cell phones and tell your babies to shut up type theatre or something?

[Doomsday101]

I agree. It is aggregating when the crowd is silent at TS, I see places like KC or Green Bay going nuts and that is how I wish our fans would be week in and week out. Let the players know you’re behind them it does help. I know when I played sports I got pumped up by the crowd who came to see us play.

Ur right, and they even put the COOOOOOOOOWWW-BOOOOOYS chant on madden. :D wth, it never happens in reality at Tx Stadium but oh well...

You do during the TV time outs when the the fans on one side of the stadium will hollers Dallas and the other side hollers Cowboys

You have to pace yourself. I always forget that and I am squeaky in the fourth quarter.

[Doomsday101]

I've never been a booer and can't stand it myself. Now, I do yell like hell during the games!

I have been known to holler worse than hell at a game. G damn it guys lets quite hurting ourselves. :laugh2: But again as a fan I always felt we are there to cheer our team on and I don't see how booing a team helps

[SupermanXx]

Yeah, at Mavericks games they actually do that DURING gameplay.. you know... when it actually might have an effect on the other team....

[Doomsday101]

I always have something to drink in my hand and it is easy for me to holler but after leaving I can't talk in a normal voice without it cracking for 2 to 3 days. By the way the drink is non alcoholic; I don't get ripped in public places any more. :laugh1:

Hey, if god had meant the Cowboy fans at Texas Stadium to be loud he would have made them New Yorkers with Philadelphians' values and Raider 'tudes.

Them fatashes at TS don't deserve the cowboys. :(

If it weren't for the faithful in the cheap seats you'd swear you were at a chamber concert session.

No 12th man at TS. Only nouveu riche "fans"

I've got this older couple who have seats next mine, and I make them stand up and yell the whole game. I'm sure they're really glad my seat is next to them.

[Doomsday101]

No doubt it is a concept I wish our fans did more of. I will say when we have a team pinned back near their own goal line it always gets loud and I can swear it helps as the defense is pumped and the opposing team is having a hard time calling the play

[Doomsday101]

Next game bring the cattle prod, that get them going. :laugh2:

Crowd noise will be very important in this game. The defense needs all the help they can get.

I'm with Doomsday101! The main reason I like going to the games is that I can yell my freakin' head off and feel like I'm helping the team win! It always seems to me that the crowd gets super loud at the games I've been to. I like to tell my family that I made the difference. :-) But I also don't believe anything is accomplished by booing, and I can't talk for several days after a game either. I've also noticed that I'm not nearly as frustrated after a loss when I'm there in person to yell. I guess I feel like I'm in it with the team and we're all doing our part. Ok, I'm a Cowboys geek.

whatever dude, come to a game with me and then tell me that.

Then again I am from new york so, maybe that is why I am loud during games. ONe difference though, I am loud with dignity, I do not yell and swear in other peoples ears and I will be really careful what I say when there are children in my section.

Alot people here are giving texas stadium a bad rap. I must say I have been to every game but the recent giants game the last 4 years and last years crowds were excellent except the detroit game.

There is plenty of booing and the crowd the last two years has been very good on third downs.

Alot of the people here complaining about the stadium crowd noise are from different cities and only watch the game on tv.

Oh and Philly is not a loud stadium anymore. Not even close. Brad sham has commented the last three trips there how it is nothing like it used to be at the vet and the crowds are hardly noticable anymore. So you can put that to rest.

NY is a loud place and washington is the same as Dallas, considering how many cowboys fans are there.

The loudest place I have been to is Rich stadium in orchard park before the renovation when they used to get 82000 in there. Bills dolphins in the early 90s were the loudest crowds I have ever heard.

Texas stadium is right on par with all the other stadiums. I have not seen a stadium this year with overwhelming crowd noise. Not even in the dome stadiums.

The stadium will be rocking sunday. A 3:15 start allows all the church goers to get to the stadium at the start, the usual fans will be drinking earlier and then it is the payton manning led 9-0 colts against the Tony Romo starting debut at home cowboys.

The place will be rocking I guarantee you.

But our crowd knows when to get noisy. Against Bernie Kosar's Browns in the mid-eighties the crowd wisely got loud at the right time and forced Cleveland out of their no-huddle offense.

They also get louder when they smell blood. Mark Rypien's famous deer-in the headlights look in 1992 was a sign of things to come. I knew a former Washington player Mark Adickes who was close to the team at the time and he was saying that the Washington players had never heard Texas Stadium so loud.

I think the crowd will rise to the occasion against Indy if we can draw a little blood early.

[Doomsday101]

As I said I have been to many Cowboys game and have seen the loud crowd and the sitting on their hands crowd at Texas Stadium. One place I was very impressed with was Baton Rouge when me and a girl friend went to see Alabama play LSU now that was a loud place.

[Iago33]

I blame it all on ticket prices.

Ah yes, the seasonal "bash fans at Texas Stadium" Thread.

I have been to games where the crowd deserved to be bashed where large portion of the fans are sitting on their hands. Heck I have been to over 70 games at Texas Stadium over the years. I know we have loyal fans and we can get loud and have been to games where that is the case but yes they can be quite dossal at times in comparison of what I see at other stadiums.

[stealth]

i dont wanna get flamed for this but people that go to the cowboys games in dallas generally are casual fans that don't have a clue how much crowd noise can change the pace of a game. Half the people there are there to be seen not heard. I am born and raised in dallas so don't jump me. The fact is dallas is a look at me town, just go to a mavs game, thats the best way to see what I am talking about.

[mmohican29]

I have been to two games at Tx Stadium, the first being the game vs Detroits on 10/31/04 and the other the MNF game the same season where TO and McNabb torched us.

The crowd for the Lions game was very very docile. The crowd for the MNF contest was very very loud... until things started going south. Then the many Eagles fans that had made the trip took over and it was an absolute nightmare in the cheap seats dealing with those jerks.

I will agree with a previous poster that Rich Stadium in the 90's was an absolute bombardment of noise on an opposing team. It was hair-raising, and intimidating. I went to 5 games in my college years there and all were thrillers and the crowd just gonzo. The crowd would stomp its feet when opposing teams were in the redzone and it sounded like an earthquake... and I'm not exaggerating.

It's too bad the Bills had to play us and a superior Redskins team and a BP coached team that found a way because I will say this... their fans certainly deserved much better.

I am speaking for many when I say I hope the Cowboys faithful lucky enough to be in attendance on Sunday really bring their lungs and just go off... it DOES make a difference.
