light buld just turned on

I was just thinking how the crowd noise on tv is not as loud as when your actually at the game and thought that the announcers should just shut up for a few seconds and just let the crowd play into the tv as loud as if you were actually there. Kind of like in nascar when they have the camera next to the asphalt and all you hear is the cars whipping by.

Announcers not talking won't help. CBS and ESPN broadcasts reduce crowd noise on purpose.

Regardless of what they do, make it happen!

You got it, champ.

Time to get a new "buld" Pigpen.

That said, I thought it was harder to hear the CBS guys this weekend than it has ever been to hear the ESPN guys.

I couldn't hear people sitting next to me for much of the game, but there's also plenty of short spurts where the crowd is almost dead silent. I'm not sure where you would mount the microphone to get objective sound perspective without drowning out the actual game sounds (ambiance of the ball/players, whistles, fouls etc.)even with mics set up on the court ... but I'd be more worried about the really awkward periods of silence if there were no commentary.

I agree with this. I had to keep yelling at my kids to be quiet because I was having trouble hearing Kellogg and Lundquist. Kept turning up the TV and realized it wasn't helping...they just weren't clear over the background noise.

Haha you can't expect much with a thread made at 1:26 in the morning.
