With no fans in the stadium you almost cant help but to hear all the jingles/songs/stadium theatre stuff in between EVERY (god damn) play during these games.
Was watching some classic Giants games on youtube where the atmosphere in a way created itself and all it took was say Bob Sheppard to say 3rd down and everyone made some noise pending the situation.
I for one feel the atmosphere in Stadiums including ours became so dumbed down. Do we really need a song in between every play and the ribbon boards flashing with text to keep us entertained for 35 seconds? The guy that screams its 3rd down every time? It seems so collegy/gimmicky. Doesnt it take away from the authenticity of the atmosphere? Its interesting seeing the growth of soccer in the US where this stuff doesnt exist and the crowd creates their own culture versus the likes of say this direction or what we see in the NBA.
Just curious of the boards thoughts especially those who held tickets throughout the years.
I’d rather sit alone in a cold dark room with no furniture for 3 hours.
OMG, it was ridiculous...I felt like I was in a ping ball machine.
And that's not to mention the commercials blasting during every time-out. It was happening at Giant's games at the old stadium when I said "no thank you" to the season tickets that had been in my family for 40 years because greedy Mara went to PSL's.
I mean, isn't that why you go to games to begin with? To get away from the commercials and nonsense on television?
Rant over....

Lmao!! Yes!

God Yes. This! I can’t stand that asshole.
Without fans, it sounds like an NBA game with music every single play. Annoying as all hell and I hope it goes away when fans come back.
Last Panthers game I went to, people were on their phones most of the time, taking selfies, or talking to friends without even paying attention to the game.
I went to a baseball game during the whole Pokemon phenomenon, and more people in my section were scanning the field and stands for Pokemon than they were at paying attention to the game
I used to love going to games. I'd pick a city to travel to and attend a Giants' away game. I also live only 100 miles from Charlotte so when the Giants came to NC I was there. Not any more. It has gotten just too darned expensive. If they want to bring back the working class they need to make it affordable so he doesn't spend a week's paycheck to watch a football game.
