Still “Loud” In Dome
August 27th, 2020
Reading and hearing various news reports around the NFL, it seems the NFL will permit fake crowd noise in stadiums for games.
Joe surely knows the broadcast network partners of the NFL want and likely will pipe in their own sound effects just to be safe.
(Joe would absolutely LOVE to hear the chatter on the field between players and coaches. That’s the one cool thing about training camp, you can hear so much chatter that otherwise you would never hear. Of course, this is the very last thing networks want. You think they want field-mics picking up Bucco Bruce Arians unloading on Matt Gay on live TV and then having to cut a seven-figure check to the FCC? Each week? Never mind how sponsors would freak out.)
What the Bucs may or may not do with fake crowd noise is unknown. But Arians has told his players there will be crowd noise and he said yesterday the NFL is capping the level of fake noise.
“It’s going to be, I think, 85 decibels, so I don’t think it’s going to be as loud,” Arians said yesterday. “But it’s still going to be loud and 85 decibels in the dome is a little bit louder than 85 decibels in our stadium.”
That’s very true because a dome is a controlled, closed environment unlike the open-air stadium that is the Den of Depression.
However, 85 decibels is not that loud, basically the sound of an air conditioning unit or a sweeper or maybe a lawn mower at worst. In New Orleans, the SuperDome crowd routinely tops 110 decibels.
Hell, Joe cranks White Zombie or Pantera much louder than that rolling down the Suncoast Parkway in his Bill Currie Ford-bought F-150.

I’ve gotten too many tickets from driving with White Zombie playing…

I’m glad noise will be piped in. It’s good for the TV experience which is how 99.9% of NFL fans watch the game.

The problem with allowing teams to pipe in fake noise is one of timing……lets’ say the Bucs are ahead comfortably……or even somewhat behind….the crowd at that point is naturally less intense…..
The good news is that 85 decibels is not anywhere close to the higher limits of noise at the Superdome.
128
Just how loud was it in the Superdome during the Saints-Eagles Divisional Playoff game? The decibel meter in the dome recorded the highest level in Superdome history at 128. The sound actually crashed the program that records the noise level

whether there are fans or not, if the bucs win at least 5 home games this year, will joe drop the den of depression moniker?

Let’s see. Going over 85db will only get the Saints a slap on the wrist. Bucs better be ready for substantially louder volumes. Saints will cheat the first week. Mark the tape!

It will be louder than 85 dB with four Bucs fans in a living room watching the games. That is for sure.

Fake crowd noise is fine, I just hope there are no “cardboard cutout fans” in the stands, those look STUPID. I’d rather just see empty seats

Advantage Bucs!
Either no crown noise sand other teams can’t fill the den of depression.
Or, yes crowd noise, and we get to put out the same amount of “home crowd noise” as everyone else.
Love it either way.

Man do I hate the Saints!!!! My hope is that we knock Brees out for a few series(nothing serious, as I wouldn’t wish that on any player), Winston comes in instead of Hill, and we get a pick 6 or 2 off of him! I can dream, right!

The Buc PA guy kind just play They Are Coming to Take Me Away when ever the opponent has the ball … all game long 🙂

They Are Coming to Take Me Away – LOL! I use to have that on a 45 record as a kid and have no idea why.
Ho ho he he ha ha to the funny farm where life is wonderful all the time and I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white clothes and they’re coming to take me away…

Is Joe a secret metal head? Anyone else picturing him with long 80’s hair and head banging at a red light?

In Gillette Stadium 85 db will sound like 100 db. Belicheat doesn’t know why that is.

It kills me how our pro sports leagues and owners are helping lend legitimacy to the fear being drummed up to keep people compliant, and the people buy into the “home together” psyop so fully that they will pay money to those very same owners to put their virtual face in the stands.
And yes, they look stupid. At least the NHL is just putting gauze over the seats instead of getting people to spend money on cardboard spectators.

The Jose Canseco mullet is what I see. And head banging.

All sorts. Classic rock, hard rock, some metal (never did get on the Metallica bandwagon but do like a couple of songs), blues and *some* country. Joe bounces between Ozzy’s Boneyard, NFL Radio and B.B. King’s Bluesville often on SiriusXM.

“The Jose Canseco mullet is what I see” omg I literally laughed out loud at that one. Sorry Joe. I see a Camaro Z28.

Continuous 128dB volume can cause permanent hearing damage. Remember that dB is logarithmic. So, 100dB is ten times louder than 90dB.
