TBayXXXVII 2,069 Posted July 15, 2020 I think most people already expect this. Most think that fans in the stands is a pipe dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one will sit by the radio and listen diligently. They'll be on their computers or cell phones... just like they are now at home. Heck, I know people who go to the games and are on their cell phones for 70% of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 15, 2020 No fans could be cool, I don’t need the cheers and claps. Just give me the plays and action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted July 20, 2020 I think it will be hard for the NFL to pull this off. As of today they still lack the central plans to make it work. If it does work the limited fans in the stand; teams going 0 fans or even 20% will change the game on the field. No false starts do to fan noise. Less home field advantage. Easier ability to audible at the LOS. These things could push scoring even further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If neither team has to worry about noise, audibles would be really easy. This actually may show people who the better coaches, game planners, and game managers really are. I actually would like to see football without fans. See what the net result is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted July 20, 2020 Sorry , but I don’t want to hear the game without the crowd noise. With no fans in the stands = people are still scared and won’t return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With no fans in the stands = people are still scared and won’t return. I couldn't care less about the crowd noise, to be honest with you. A lot of times, I've watched games without sound. Have you ever gone to a place like Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the games? If your team isn't the featured game, you're essentially watching your game on "mute". I can see what's going on. I don't need a commentator tell me or hear the fans to know what just happened. When you're at a bar, in time, other people and the tv volume from the other game becomes white noise and you don't even pay attention to it. Also, I watch Red Zone a lot. The constant jumping from one game to the next, you have to ignore what you hear because if you pay too much attention, you get lost. You'll be hearing about this receiver and that RB, the next thing you know... a new game and they're talking about this HC and that guy in the stands' 5' hoagie.

weepaws 2,418 Posted July 21, 2020 No I haven’t been any place else to watch nfl games or listen to them for some time. I listen on the Radio, I can understand turning it down not to hear the commentary from the tv or radio crew, but I love the fan noise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
