The Gameday Atmosphere is Still Lacking At the New Stadium

[daschoo]

agree with the op regarding the endzone celebrations but thats about it

I believe Goodell will make a serious push for it. Whether the owners will allow for it is another thing. But I believe Goodell will make a serious push for it. Personally, I think it's an abomination that we have regular season games overseas.

True. The games need to stay here. Pre seaon games are ok, but not regular season....and NEVER the SB.
Let them have the pro bowl too.

Yes my topic was such a fail, that you apparently read the messages and then took the time to respond. I would say that is an epic success. I don't give a rat's rearend, what the new stadium looks like, how much it costs, etc. What I care about is did I have fun at the game (I was at the Atlanta game) and the answer is it was a cure for insomnia. I cheered, yelled, you name it but much of the crowd was talking on their cellphones and stayed in their seats most of the time. I overheard a conversation between two guys sitting behind me that were commenting "I don't know why I spend this kind of money to come to a game. It is so much more fun to go to a college game and they don't overcharge you. I am surprised Jerry Jones doesn't have a toll booth set up in the bathroom stalls." The crowd around me was bored silly. If you enjoy shelling out big time bucks for a boring time then that is your business.

Speaking of college games, I've been to games at LSU's stadium, which is widely considered one of the loudest stadiums in all of football. I can't really tell a difference between the crowd noise there and at Cowboys Stadium.

I don't know that it's going to happen...but it wouldn't surprise you? The NFL is loaded with greed, tapping into the European market would be great from a monetary standpoint.

"If it happen within the next 10 - 15 years?" Heck yeah.

I believe Goodell will make a serious push for it. Whether the owners will allow for it is another thing. But I believe Goodell will make a serious push for it. Personally, I think it's an abomination that we have regular season games overseas.

You won't get any argument from me about playing regular season games abroad but it's obvious that the league (or only Goodell for some) wishes to expand its product successfully beyond North America. It's most significant venture to date was NFL Europa. It failed miserably.

It's yearly scheduling of preseason/regular season games has had moderate success in both the European and Asian markets. I may one day be proven wrong, but I doubt that the league will be the huge leap of taking it's prime jewel out of American primetime and insert into the night and/or early morning hours.

That would be very poor marketing on the league's behalf. It will have to build a much stronger image abroad comparable to soccer beforehand. Just my two cents.

i was at the same game and my opinion of the atmosphere could not be any different than yours. here's a tip...if you had such a bad time, instead of whining on a message board, how about you just keep your money and stay home. i don't want Cowboys "fans" like you taking my seat anyhow.

I was at that game as well, and the crowd was really into it. Some people just like to complain.

Any game experience is what you make of it. The sights, the smells, the memories are all about how you choose to enjoy them. You focus on whatever emotion you feed that day. I can go to a High School game with a couple of thousand people and get a game day feeling if I am there to enjoy myself. No idea why anyone would be incapable of the same at an NFL game with their favorite team.

I think this is the truest statement of most posts...

I went to the Seattle game. It was fun. People cheered when they were supposed to. Celebrated when they were supposed to. Screamed to hype the D when they were supposed to.

Not sure what most people expect. It was fun. The stadium is great and I had fun.

Only gripe I had is similar to others...need better score placements. The scroll in the corners of the stadium is too small to follow if you just want a quick look.

The big gripe I have is how often they take the banner score off of the video boards. Its small enough on the screen that it really doesn't disturb anything to leave it up there, and it would be much more visible to the fans than the corner end zone spaces where its showing now.

You are probably right. It is obvious there is no need for fans who actually come to cheer loudly and root for their team. You have more than proven yourself to be two letters short of class.

Alright. That's enough of this... whatever you can call it.
