Then the refs would access the HOME TEAM a 5 YARD PENALTY! Of course in most cases this would just make the fans LOUDER. I'm not sure, but I believe if it didn't stop, the home team could actually lose a time out. I remember Marty telling the fans to quiet down once & THAT is down riht sacrilegous. John Elway and especially Stan Humphries used to pull that shit all the time at ARROWHEAD. Used to really piss me off.

Yes, i watched football back then. There was never, ever a penalty called on a team for excessive crowd noise. That's a fact.
