Stadium and Crowd

[walt]

I've had the dubious pleasure of attending the last two games, and what a difference in the experience. In Miami, we all sat down and cheered politely when the Dolphins did well. When the Ravens did well, the Ravens fan were almost as loud.

In Foxboro yesterday, the Patriots fans stood the whole game, screamed until they were hoarse, and when the Dolphins made a play, not a peep was heard.

One other difference is that the stadium does a great job of getting the Patriots fans psyched up with imagery of Patriots domination on the Jumbotron and dramatic music inspiring the fighting spirit. Didn't see sop much of that in Miami.

On the other hand, Miami offered more fun outside the stadium.

Patriots: 11 of 12 division titles, have been to what...5 superbowls in 15 years?

Ravens: 2 superbowl wins in 15 years...in the playoff hunt every year.

Mods you may close thread. Thank you.

that's more reason to have an incredible crowd last week as you haven't had many big Dec home games in the last 10-15 years.

We have similar issues, we have crowds that wait for something good to happen before they get loud.

Hmmmm....I'm pretty sure Kansas City hasn't been to a Superbowl in a long time.....and they are one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.

Lets leave the thread open a bit longer...shall we?

i've been to 1 game in Miami each of the past 3 years(Jests, Jills, Jills)...2 of those games were losses...i have ZERO complaints about the participation by people rooting for the home team in any of the 3 games...i realize that we have 8 home games per year and I haven't been at most, but i don't really get how people can say that the home crowd sucks after what i have experienced

I was at the Ravens game too, I have to say it was embarrassing. I was in Row 2 of my section, and every 3rd down I was up and screaming - turned around, and there are just Fin fans sitting quietly like they're at a play. I had to yell "COME ON MIAMI, STAND UP ON 3RD DOWN! MAKE SOME NOISE!" It got em going some, but damn. Does it really take a "me" in every section? Because I can't be there every Sunday!

Forgot to mention one thing. I'm from Boston, so I know how my fellow Bostonians like their beer. In Foxboro, huge line for beer. In Miami, I think I missed only 2 plays going to get a beer.

So, Mr. Ross, how about free beer to get the fans revved up?

If it's anything like Nationals Park where some ushers have told people to sit down rather than stand and cheer, I don't blame the fans.

The stadium will be better once they move the damn seats closer and get the canopy over the seats. Will help improve noise level.

Me too..............I'll hit the vikings game because of the field passes I have but already listed my Jets/Phins tickets on Stubhub. 4 hour drive to see what draft position will get again?? Pfft........

Dolphins more at home on the road than they are at home. lol KC has had a longer playoff win drought than Miami and their fans still sell Arrowhead out.
