Pump up the volume...

Wonder if it's just "cheering" for first downs / good plays or noise to distract the visitors when they are on offense. HATE the idea of the latter.

Good luck replicating my heckling SU

They probably want it to feel like there's a crowd. Thinking it will increase players excitement level and psyche?

 

[CA Monk]

Gotta admit, crowd noise kind of helps accentuate the atmosphere when watching baseball. W/o it it would be icily clinical and joltingly stark. As it is now you can really hear the crack of the bat or the grunted profanities when a batter strikes out - fun stuff.
I'd imagine football without crowd noise would be weird and detract from the experience. Might feel like a Spring Game or a scrimmage. I'd opt for some normalizing crowd noise. Then again it's only sports - except when SU is playing.

Without a standard protocol this could become ridiculous!

 

[Moontan]

We just need them to pipe in sutomcat ’s voice when the OrangeMen are on defense.

Watching soccer, they were doing this in stadiums in Europe. Piping in crowd noise from the FIFA video game franchise. Chants, fan reaction... I didn’t think I’d like it, and it certainly is weird, but I enjoyed it. If you are paying attention to just the action on the field and not the stadium seats, it felt normal.

They could just play “Yakety Sax” on a loop all game long.
It looks like a Benny Hill routine anyway.

This is clearly to normalize the watching pf the game on TV, not to replicate home field advantage

If they pump in their usual crowd noise, it'll still be silent.

They can actually be pretty vocal when they want.

I still recall the trash bags chanting “-you Navy.”

Say its 3rd and short. The LB waves his arms in upwards motion in the hopes of making the "crowd" cheer more. Do they raise the volume to make it louder?

They basically did stuff like this in production for soccer games broadcast in the Fox family. Cheering when the home team scored, booing when the home team took a hard foul, stunned silence when the visiting team scored, etc.

A poster above shared their feelings on it. I thought it'd be very distracting but after a bit it felt a little more normal and definitely isn't as distracting as the digitally added fans that the MLB added to broadcasts.

I personally like what MLS is doing with the noise being piped in at the stadium level and you can hear it in the background of the actual telecast. It sounds so much more natural than the digitally enhanced sounds added in at the studio level.

Based on a few quotes I've seen, the piped in noise is much less intimidating to visiting teams than real fans in the seats making it.

Well, if we’re still talking about Rutgers, then yes -
they increase the volume of crickets chirping.

 

[Cusefan69]

Yeah not really sure there is anything to worry about here and even if it’s a bit loud somewhere, if we cannot make adjustments as if it is regular crowd noise then we have way worse problems as a team and staff.

One of my “fears” is we let families only into the games and I scream something out like in the little league days and Dino has to scold me

Yup. I was just adding one game-like scenario. Do teams have liberties with what they can do???

I have heard it at MLS and MLB games. Some noise is better than silence.

Ha, Yeah. And they likely have more 2nd and short possibilities than 3rd and short.
