Fixing the lack of Noise at the stadium | Page 13

Ok, we had a full year to assess the "home field" at Levi this year. I am still baffled by the fact that you can't get a hot link at the stadium. I'll save that rant for another post. This rant is about the Noise level of the home crowd at the stadium. It was sub par, it was embarrassing. You know it and I know it. THE 49ERS front office and the players on the field know it. Instead of complaining about it, I've decided to put on my marketing hat in attempts to help the team solve the issue. I sit in section 109. My fellow fans in that section must dislike me. I am constantly turning around in attempts to get fans involved in the game from a noise perspective. I chastise fans for being too " wine and cheese". Right around the 3rd game, I took my 20 oz. empty soda cup, I took my car key and I carved the bottom part of the cup out. For the rest of the game, I used that as a sound cone to yell through. Fast forward to the Charger game. I took a look around during the 2nd quarter and noticed 7 people in my section "borrowed" my sound cone idea. My son is the one that pointed it out. He said, " dad, they stole your idea ". The lightbulb went off..... My idea is for the 49ers to sell a cup with a bit more of a cone shape than the existing cup. The bottom should be perforated, with two little pop out handles on it. ( Like coffee cup handles ) . On the side of the cup on both sides in big letters, it should read, "NINER NOISE". This way, when the sound video personnel need more noise, then can illustrate someone on the large video screen yelling through the cone. And they can call out for NINER NOISE to urge the crowd on. Too many benefits to list. 1. Gets the crowd more involved in having fun and supporting the team. 2. Helps sell more soda. ( Jed will love this ) 3.Could potentially be free if they allow a corporate sponsor added to the Noise cone. Feedback?

Sharks Head coach Dan McLellan

"That's my first experience at that level with that many people. You could tell it was loud. But it's not as loud as the shark tank with 20,000 people and a ceiling over top of you. You know, you have to yell down the bench. But the noise dissipated and kind of went up and out. So it was--- I know it was loud. All 70,000 people were cheering and it was very loud, but it wasn't what I thought it might be when you were down there."

70000 outside not as loud as 20000 inside

, too late to wish for a dome?

If I was a player, I wouldn't give a cr*p about fan noise. I'd be saying " we can beat these mother f**kers in complete silence."

Lack of noise? Before the stadium was designed and built. A few of the Santa Clara residents and Niner fans suggested that the stadium be designed and built for noise. Former Niner players at the " Vote Yes For Measure J " meetings stated that a stadium built for noise does make a difference for the home team. Why didn't Niner ownership listen and do the right thing? Who knows ? Check out the following design. http://wn.ktvu.com/story/28155361/raiders-chargers-team-up-on-possible-stadium-near-los-angeles

I agree completely, but I think as we both know the crowds at the 49er stadiums are just, I don't know how to put it other than do**** bags. I mean I go to the gym and **** but I'm not sitting there being an ***hole like most of the fans their are. It would be great for everyone to be standing and cheering on the team like other teams fan bases do. It's almost like if you go to one of those places be prepared to cheer, but the atmosphere in those places look alot different than the atmosphere at the new 49er stadium.

What does the fact that you go to the gym have to do with anything about crowd noise problems?

Statements like this is why we'll always have mediocre at best home field advantage.

So you want a game winning TD...and then you'll be impressed enough to get up off your ass and make some noise?

How about you actually cheer on your team when they do well and make a ton of noise when the other team is on offense so they have a hard time communicating? You know...actually give your team a helping hand so they can impress you easier???

And when will it ever be loud enough for you? How will you measure your standard as having been achieved? It looks like we will always be stuck with these "loudness" threads. Enough of this loudness nonsense...

Yes. Domes are stupid.

If the team plays well the cheers will come. Niner fans could up their IQ of when to cheer a bit more, but ultimately it comes down to the team doing well.

It's not the stadium it's the bandwagon fans that SF has. The fans that started watching in 2011 when they started winning bought season tickets and now SF is back to the dark ages the stadium is more like a ghost town.

49ers fans are more worried about Stock Prices and what Wine goes with what cracker over yelling at the top of your lungs for 3 hours.

It's only going to get worse now that ownership priced out season ticket holders.. You will get more of the elitist hipster internet money type of fan that doesn't know what do to with his money so he bought 49ers season tickets as a status symbol.

The stadium now belongs to corporations...

Google
Yahoo
Twitter
Numerous Silicon Valley companies bought Suites and tickets.

Sad dark days ahead for the 49ers.

Go 49ers. I hope.

Then why are Chiefs and Saints fans loud win or lose?
