So if they are going to use sound effects, when the Bengals turn it over, can we get one of these?

They have to drown out the sound of concussions.

There is no "traditional" take on this topic. It's new territory. Hoping stadiums are full and all is normal. If not, then it's a blank canvas. All networks will try to make it look and sound as normal as possible. It could lead to unprecedented, thrilling access. Who knows?

They just want noise? Why not just amplify Joe Buck's "commentary"?

I've watched games without sound and it really loses something. I just hope they do it well and don't make a mockery of it. I heard they are also going to use computer images to make it look like the seats are full. I'm not sure why because I don't really see the fans while watching a game unless it's a crowd shot of some nut dressed like a kangaroo. The players can hear the piped in noise but they won't see the imaginary fans in the seats.

All pro sports are dependent on fans rooting or booing for their teams. Fans are a major part of the equation as much as the players.

I put fan noise as a very minor part of the equation.

lol home field advantage would be ridiculous. Defense on the field, max level jet engine roar. Offense on the field, absolute silence.

If that was true then why do you see players on the sideline and even on the field trying to pump up the crowd. They hear it and it is a factor. How big is debatable since you can't really measure it. Must be a pretty big deal in Seattle. They do that 12th man thing before every game. It's such a big deal with them that they stole the 12th man name from Texas A&M and had to go to court to work out an agreement.
