What's also weird is that I hear crickets chirping whenever you post attempts at "wry sarcasm" or what seems to be "humor."
And I have been told (more than once) to be quiet. That was with the Pats D on the field.
I believe the crickets you think you're hearing are in actuality glasses clinking. Try a fresh battery in your hearing aid....lighten up on the squelch
The way you talk, I find that hard to believe.
You need to specify if he's been INSIDE Gillette during a regular-season game.

And it comes up every single year since I have been posting here.
This is the one significant aspect of things that Kraft screwed up really badly. He should have told the architects: Make it loud, I want teams to hate playing here, I want a ROCKING home field advantage. Make it happen. Make the Superdome sound like church by comparison. I want them to remember playing here.
That he didn't make that a top priority was a pretty major oversight. Probably we'd have two or three more wins at home....

What's Brady's record at home again? Who holds the all-time winning streak at home? heh
At the end of the day it's still the teams who play the games even though fans would love to think they had a part in the outcome.
Brady's complained about the home crowd leaving early and not making enough noise.
Brilliant. Thanks for the insight, Grid. Its much appreciated.
Seattle's stadium was actually designed before it was built so that all the crowd noise goes directly down onto the field. One of the biggest reasons why it is so deafening there.
Really? Why? because it's so loud and rowdy and if I've been to the games I couldn't possibly think this? Do you really need to make everyone believe that it's a loud crowd when it isn't? Do you think it makes you personally less of a fan? I don't understand the need to call it something it's not.
It's simple. You don't talk like someone who's really been to Gillette, and I don't mean one game a year.
[Mod edited sentence out]
The issue I have is people on here basically have said that sometimes there isn't much noise...but Gillette is quite open so it's a good excuse to not put in the extra effort.
You have 16 games (up to 19/20 if you're lucky enough) to cheer for. BIG DEAL. Five frigging months of your life to 'put out' for the team you love. Non-season ticket holders maybe not even that much.
I watch every home game my local soccer team has and I know a lot of fans who attend every away game too. That's 46 league games that spans nine months. That doesn't include cup games of which you play at least three and more if you progress on in the competition...try shouting your arse off at every one of those game which, FYI, we do...and it's not like they don't lose their voices AND our local stadium which seats 11, 000 has an open end too.....
So quit moaning.
I go to 2 games every year. My voice is shot by the end of the game, and most of the people around me seem to at least attempt to be just as loud. Is it the stadium? I suspect there is some truth that it is not the optimum design for loudness because it sure seems like everyone is yelling at the right time.
Then again, because I only go to 2 games each year, I am selective about which games I go to. In other words, they are usually good games/opponents.
As for the people who are constantly walking in front of me, back and forth, to get popcorn, drinks, hot dogs, whatever......WTF? Stay at your f'in seat during the game. How can an obsessed fan miss a snap of the game? And if you are not an obsessed fan, what are you doing there?
Sorry. That is my stadium pet peeve.
