Do we have a weak home crowd?

[vlad]

I'm not complaining, after all I don't live in Dallas anymore and even if I did I doubt I'd be spending my hard earned money for season tickets.

I'm just curious if we have a really weak home crowd? Growing up, I can remember in the 90s it was crazy for just those few years. But I can routinely remember Packers, Chiefs, Steelers, etc... games where the opposing team's crowd had a real presence. Wasn't it earlier this year that Pierce urged the crowd to get louder and they actually did?

Just wondering what you guys thought? I know we aren't a deafening stadium (I think we are very spoiled fans), but are we a weak home field (and don't look at records, we've had very good teams)?


Again, not a criticism, I'm just wondering if thats the case or not.

Why do you all have to ridicule the guy? He's just asking a question.

To answer you, Dude, yeah, I've never been to Texas Stadium. But I've always heard it's a pretty docile place compared to other stadiums. We don't have a very good home crowd unless it's a really big game (like the Packers). And even then the rival crowd is usually just as good.

I'm hoping it'll be different at our new place, Tom Landry Stadium brought to you by Verizon.

I don't really think this has anything to do with it but...........

Since Romo has been QB
10-1 on the road
8-5 at home

well as long as you have heard it, it must be true.

I second that emotion.
The neighborhood toughs like to read so they can whine about previous posts

Leave him alone you hoods.
It's a legitimate question and every day and every game, things change.
So relax and let the flow of expression proceed.

not the best homefield advantage in the world.

sorry, but it's not. i wish it was better.


the bigger the game, the better the crowd though. i agree with that. that place gets up for the big ones.

i was at the st louis game, by contrast, and you could hear a pin drop. and that was before we were blowing them out.

My guess would be that some folks love to show off their ******!

ANSWER: Our Homefield Sucks!!! Dallas is just that type of fan base. It's not a Texas thing. For example, compare the Cowboys crowd to the Longhorns on a Saturday afternoon.

Okay, first of all if you look at my posting history, I never try to instigate anything...so all this attitude (except from theebs which I bow down to) is really uncalled for. And thansk to the people who tried to defend my question.

I was just asking a quesiton the msot respectable manner I could because I know people tend to freak out for no good reason...

and to the poster who responded "dude...."

I respond "guy...." (or "cheif...." if you prefer)

It is only going to get worse in the new stadium with the prices JJ is charging for PSL's

Hey bro sorry if I was acting like a jerk, if you look at my posts from last night I was goofing around all night.

anyway on a serious note. The crowd at texas stadium is good. Dont believe all that stuff. Now in a losing season it is lousy, people still go there just is no atmosphere. But if you look around the league all losing teams have that problem. Caught a jets game lately? Neither have the jets fans. See the eagles fans leave in the third qtr when we beat them up in november, check the giants fans sunday night or the 12 that were there in the second half.

The crowd is good. The one flaw with the rowdy crowds there is the noise on offense.

And here is my reason for the noise on offense, and I believe I am right with this. I have tickets in the upper corner. IN the upper corner and upper endzone that is where all the out of town fans and opposing teams fans sit most of the time. Alot of them are there for their first game ever at texas stadium or there only game of the season. Then what happens is the players that most of those fans root for are offensive guys. When they introduce players from the tunnel before games the offensive players lift the roof off the place.

So the first time we go on offense, the first time we are in the redzone, the first time we get the ball in the second half and pretty much anytime the game is close in the end those fans cheer like crazy and take tons of pictures.

Those fans also are very loud on defense and are very energetic, I am glad they go. Its not that they dont understand the game they are just very excited.

so again, the crowd when we are a good team is very good, just as loud as anywhere I have been except buffalo before the renovation. I listen to the game on the radio in the stadium and I have it cranked all the way up and I still cant hear it in my ear.

I go to a couple of games a year and I do think we have a pretty weak crowd and a little clueless at times. But then again even Rowdy, are team mascot, can be clueless at times, he tries to get the crowd in an uproar when the offense is on the field.

Heck, a huge argument broke out the last game I went to because some guys were standing and blocking other peoples view. The golf clappers get mad when you block their view.

It will probably be far worse than it is now, with the prices of tickets that are mentioned along with the "waiting fee" price tacked on. Probably mostly corporate people...and not REAL fans!

Jerry Jones needs to implement a "cheap seats" section for everyday people to go to the games. Maybe he could use one of those open end zones, you know, put some special seating there, maybe 10,000 or so for low prices. Those people would be so loud that it might even be contagious to the corporate types and clueless folks who somehow landed tickets. With an expandable seating arrangement, this is really doable. It's a shame for the working class folks to not be able to see a Cowboys game in person.

I think they'll have something like that. I think it'll be called the Standing Room Only section. You can get in, but you'll have to stand the whole time in some godawful corner of the stadium.
