20K sounds better than crickets!

So 20,000 will be Falcon fans?????

 

[DogFace]

McCarthy is right. They need some kind of stadium noise at these 0% places.

Can't wait to hear fan reactions in the stadium from start to end. End fake noise

Elliott described SoFi stadium's atmosphere as 'stale air'. Well yeah, An empty stadium is as atypical a setting as it can get when you have played every game in your life in front of fans. However, the better question is how negatively impactful was the environment towards the team's overall execution, especially on offense?

Did zero fans REALLY hurt the team's performance? Or was the team primarily responsible for its own stuttering lack of execution at times? I mean, there were TWO teams playing in stale air, right?

Would be nice to garner any kind of home advantage really. Like others, not really sure how much, if any, difference it really makes.

Thread Reminder

It is obvious why fan attendance is minimized in stadiums.

Post comments concerning the cause of minimal fan attendance in the Coronavirus Zone forum only.

How about we get our first win? That would be nice.

Not all 20,000 but it is a valid question considering how often and the volume of re-sold tickets seemingly occur for Cowboys home games in my opinion.

Any crowd noise hecklers may have a field day...

[Heckler shouts at fans two sections away] "Hey! Yeah you! Get up and make some noise! This ain't Sunday school!"

lol

What is really gonna be funny is when the ref kicks out a fan because he heard him or her curse him out because of a bad call.....and he can point them out exactly and know their name because he heard them talking with their date in pre-game warm up.

Wish I was one of the 20K.

Wish I was one of the 20K.

I actually thought about going but I needed a babysitter for an early game. $89 for nose bleed section!

Jerry is going to prove to the NFL that you can have fans and be safe and my bet is you see fans as season goes along. Not to capacity, but 25% or so.

I would love it not to be around 1,000’s of people and parking would be much easier.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Maybe this will finally allow real football fans in the stadium

This isn't too far from the truth. I went to a 1987 Jets/Cowboys replacement players game and you can clearly hear everything people were saying. The mooing was aggravating me. They had to hear it on the field. The crowd made decent noise when a big play happened. But the pre snap ambient noise wasn't there.

Hell thats the way it is at capacity at home unless it’s Sunday night.

They probably have left the stadium empty. That way the people running the fake fan noise sound will be loud when the Falcons have the ball and quiet when Dallas has it.

Yes, fans at Cowboys games are dumb and make too much damn noise when Dallas has the ball.
