Yep so was I. Elway was such a crying little bitch. The crowd got louder after that.

I mean what kind of pussy QB complains to the ref it is too loud. :rolleyes:

I still hate Elway over any player in NFL history.

One could argue that that series is what created Arrowheads mystique.

[dlphg9]

Damn that gives me goose bumps. I've never heard Arrowhead that loud.

And here I thought it was Camaro's and mullets

[Brock]

WTF? A penalty threat over crowd noise?

Yes. Then the crowd got louder. The ref just kind of looked at elway and shrugged.

Wow. That's pretty pathetic for Elway to complain and even worse for the referee to threaten a non-existent rule.

[Dartgod]

Yes. Then the crowd got louder. The ref just kind of looked at elway and shrugged.

Yeah, was just going to post the same thing. I was also at that game. After the penalty, the crowd got louder and Elway cried some more.

[Baby Lee]

Damn that gives me goose bumps. I've never heard Arrowhead that loud.

At :16, bar none the loudest I ever heard it.

That was an amazing game. The crowd was so loud after that return it was like someone was pounding against your chest.

Lots of broken chairs after that one.

One of my favorite games.

[Al Bundy]

Fuck that pussy ass ref.

[Deberg_1990]

Heh, Elway was such a bitch


Is the crowd noise not as loud anymore or is it because of the radios in the QBs helmets that we don't hear any complaints anymore??

[Halfcan]

One could argue that that series is what created Arrowheads mystique.

Exactly!

I was at the Faders game when we set the noise record, but I really believe this game was louder-much louder.

I could not talk for days, my voice was shot.

[Bwana]

WTF? A penalty threat over crowd noise?

Yeah I remember when the NFL had that "rule" for awhile. :shake:

[ClevelandBronco]

You guys don't remember that this used to be a fairly common thing?

This is from a Chicago Tribune Q&A in 2005 with former referee Jerry Markbreit:

"Jerry, Is there still a crowd noise rule in the NFL, or did they do away with the delay of game penalties imposed on the crowd if the quarterback could not call the play? They used to penalize the home team. Is that rule still in effect?"

"Yes. Obvious inability of the offense to hear team signals because of crowd noise is handled under NFL rules by the following procedure: If the quarterback indicates to the referee that he cannot hear the signals, and the referee agrees, the referee will stop the clock and extend his arm fully over his head. The referee will announce over the wireless microphone that he has asked the defensive team to assist in quieting the crowd. If the crowd noise continues, the referee will again raise his arm and announce that any further crowd noise that is disruptive will result in the forfeiture by the defense of one of its remaining time outs. In the absence of any time outs remaining, a five-yard penalty against the defense will be assessed. Thereafter, if crowd noise reoccurs, the referee will stop the clock and assess the above loss of time out or five-yard penalty."

[Donger]

Holy crap. It really was an actual rule?

[ClevelandBronco]

I'll do you one better. Vanover's punt return for a TD in OT on Monday Night Football against the Chargers.

Arguably the loudest Arrowhead has ever been. I was at the game but afterwards we were partying in the parking lot and they were replaying it on the radio and you couldn't even hear Holthus during the play and he was screaming....the crowd was just insanely loud.

[007]

Exactly!

Yep, I have been saying that since last year when all the guiness bullshit started. I don't care how loud it was last year. Never even touched how loud it was in the 90s.

[KChiefs1]

I was at that game.

Welcome to the NFL in the early 90's when crowd noise was bad.

[KChiefs1]

That rule made me laugh. If anyone had consulted a fan before making this rule, they would've quickly been told the fatal flaw.

[Donger]

Was a penalty ever given during the time when this rule was in effect?

[displacedinMN]

I used to have one of those yellow hats. They gave them to the NWMO band when we came down. We also got to sit in the stands that year-in fact, we may have been at that game. I have to look.

The crowd noise rule was a big then then. Crowds were no allowed to be too loud. Unlike today.

One of the biggest complainers was Bo Schembechler of Michigan. The crowd at Minnesota shut the game down many times. Around this same time-early 90's

[Brock]

Was a penalty ever given during the time when this rule was in effect?

No.

[Rain Man]

Was a penalty ever given during the time when this rule was in effect?

I think one or maybe two. I know that it was called at least once in some game I was watching. They also gave a handful of warnings, none of which seemed to be effective.

[Rain Man]

No.

I swear I saw it once, but maybe it was just a warning. This article agrees that it was never called: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/sports/football/24noise.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

[Spott]

Proof of how much of a pussy he actually was.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Yep, i was there for that game. It was horseshit. Unheard of.

I was there, too, and it pissed everyone off so much since DeBerg tried to get some help from the refs against Pittsburgh in their stadium and the refs ignored him, got a delay of game, but when Elway threw a fit here, the refs told us to quiet down. :cuss:

True. I remember that .

[Deberg_1990]

I remember a game (might have been this one?) Where Marty attempted to quiet the crowd after a ref warning. It probably was several games.

[Spott]

I remember a game (might have been this one?) Where Marty attempted to quiet the crowd after a ref warning. It probably was several games.

I think that was the 93 game that was on MNF against Denver. That game was also the home opener and Montana's first game in KC so it was pretty loud that game.

[Rain Man]

It was duly entered into the record as Evidence Item #1,207,964.

You can add Pete Carroll to that list. After Washington State beat USC in 2002, he whined and complained about the crowd using thunder sticks and got them banned by the Pac10.

[TinyEvel]

God I hope we're that loud tomorrow. Even just close to that loud. And I hope we win and Denver loses and I'll be there next week handing out rolled up magazines as megaphones.

[RINGLEADER]

You don't remember those?

I was at this game. Whenever the refs would do this "there will be a penalty if it is too loud" the crowd at Arrowhead just went nuts. Definitely louder than when we set the noise record.

[RINGLEADER]

LOL.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

[Superbowltrashcan]

As long as cellphones are permitted in the stadium, (and I am not suggesting they be banned) crowd noise will forever be a fraction of what it was in the 90s. When you are at the game tomorrow, for that matter any game or concert, look around and see just how many people are actually engaged in the event as opposed to checking text messages and making Instagram posts. They distract folks. I notice it at every game, every event. Not a judgement, just reality.

Afraid that I can't argue with that one. My Wife and I attended my granddaughters Christmas recital a couple of weeks ago and twenty minutes before the show I looked around the theater and nearly every head was bent, looking at their phones. Looked like everyone in the place was praying...

I was there a well. Loudest I've ever heard it, except maybe the run back of Hall also against fuck you San Diego at the reopening of Arrowhead.

[rico]

I hate Elway. I just really, really...can't fathom the sight of his awful, whiney, self-entitled face.

I'd hate him even if he weren't a Donk.

If he were a Chief, he'd be my least favorite Chief of all time. I hate his stupid face.

[Halfcan]

Everyone in the stadium!

Fuck the Cheating Donks-flipping Elway off right now.

He has to be one of the Most hated players to ever come into Arrowhead. As soon as he trotted his horse face out of the tunnel-the whole place shook from the noise.

ROFL

Last week Vs. the Browns- 4th quarter winding down-game on the line-4th down....

and the people in front of us were doing selfies instead of cheering on the defense. :rolleyes:

Also KC Wolf used to come out and beat the crap out of a couple of guys dressed in the opposing players uniforms. Now he just rides around on a 4 wheeler. More politically correct I guess. :rolleyes:

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I actually think that novelty adds to crowd noise. One thing I've noticed is that fans of teams who have had long runs of bad luck are absolutely unhinged. In baseball, Pirates crowds were the loudest I've ever heard during their first playoff run a few years ago. I think that the long run of futility for the Chiefs also contributed to how loud the fans were at that time. The fact that the noise was bouncing off of a concrete surface like Astroturf also probably helped.

[jspchief]

Moments like that are so much better than this fabricated guinness world record bullshit. Flashing decibels on a jumbotron will never beat the organic reaction of a frenzied crowd after a huge play in a big game.

Also, Arrowhead will never be the same. The wine and cheese level has priced itself out of the fanatic.

[Donger]

You don't remember those?

Sadly, this is true... even after TD's.

At the sports bar last week, some people were commenting on how the Chiefs stadium was clearing out in the fourth quarter. I had to explain that the camera was on the 2nd level where people buy tickets and then sit inside and watch on TV, so it's empty the whole game. I can't stand that phenomenon.

[TimBone]

I'm on my phone. Someone please positive rep this post nine or ten times for me.

[big nasty kcnut]

Elway such a pussy. He probably never fixed a car. His wife is only with him because he rich if he didn't have money his wife would never date a horse.

Those tickets are like $250+ per seat. To sit on couches inside and drink at a ridiculously overpriced bar.

I think that happened with the Royals too. The Alex Gordon triple in game 7 against the Giants, the Goins dropped fly against the Blue Jays, the Cespedes play that led to Escobar's inside the park HR. All plays where the fielders said afterwards they couldn't hear or communicate.

[Rain Man]

I honestly don't understand it at all. Who buys those tickets? What's so attractive about the inside part?

I went to a game in Cleveland with a friend of mine a few years back (Chiefs@Browns), and he had club-level tickets in Cleveland's stadium. It was the same deal. He and I sat in our seats and watched the game, and 80% of the people in our section never left the bar and restaurant.

[rico]

Elway such a pussy. He probably never fixed a car. His wife is only with him because he rich if he didn't have money his wife would never date a horse.

Yeah, dude.

And when his wife kisses him and gets a bubblegum-like piece of Elway-gum froth stuck in her mouth, I wonder if she ever thinks to herself, "is this really worth it?!?!?"

Good point.

I first noticed it with the Angels and the Rally Monkey. New fans don't really pay attention to breaks in the action and they don't have any scar tissue, so they cheer every good thing and in every tense action.

That was an amazing game. The crowd was so loud after that return it was like someone was pounding against your chest.

Lots of broken chairs after that one.

One of my favorite games.
It was just like that, hurt your chest !
The only thing I heard louder was the 53yd field goal to beat Denver ,went from dead silence to 30 jets taking off and standing right behind them!

I've been to two. I've seen Tyler Palko and Brady Quinn start a game. FML.

[Rain Man]

Like how the cheating bastards try to trip Vanover on the return.

That was the most blatant tripping attempt I've ever seen. Was that the penalty they called, or was it for the late hit out of bounds?

[threebag]

Think it was the late hit out of bounds.

[gblowfish]

I was at the Loud Noises game. Fuck Elway.

Fuck Elway.

This.

Fantasy football is another reason you won't ever see crowds like that again
