Effect of Noise at the Fargo Dome

[stpaulbison]

Were you in section 29? We've been in that section for 10+ years and it is by far one of the best sections when it comes to fans cheering. Our tickets are right in front of the handicap platform.

Sec 25, towards the top. We've only had our season tickets since the '11 season.

I was on the HC platform in 26, N Endzone, concourse-level H obviously. I was directly in line with the Hashmarks closest to the W side. Great seats I guess, but I didn't want to have to be there...uffda! I should've had a Bison-Green cast!

I think noise made it difficult for Carson to “kill, kill” and audible against Seattle and had a significant impact Sunday night.

He was clapping like heck to get a snap multiple times. May have been part of him dropping a shotgun snap.

According to this article 142.2decibels is the record.

What is the Fargodome record?

Wasn’t it 119? ESPN should bring a real meter this week instead of a phone app that only reaches 99 like they did Saturday.

Not sure I have been this excited for a game in the dome since UNI 2011.

The record is widely debated I'd say. Measurement instrumentation seems to be pretty inconsistent as most people just use an app on their phones I think. ESPN used to show a little handheld decibel meter on the playoff broadcasts fairly often and I think the highest it ever got was about 110. I recall reading an article after that UNI game in 2011 (or as I like to call it "the day the Fargodome crowd's testicles dropped") that decibel readings were in the 100 and teens but how accurate that is who knows.

SDSU plays in the dome more than anyone. As much as I wish i was wrong, there is no way noise level is going to have an impact on SDSU. Lets get real.

They still have to prepare for it.

Of course it’ll affect the game, if they have to use silent count it affects the game.

This. Even professionals don't flawlessly execute a silent count. It puts you at a disadvantage.
