A Decibel meter....???

[slashin_velvet]

Tigers used to do this at the G. Called it "hear the roar" or something like that.

Watch as Port get the marching band going before the game on the oval. Coming late 1914/early 1915.

A bit late.

 

[Mr Smiff]

You don't get it!

It was a channel 7 broadcast even if, like myself, you watched via foxtel!

I'm not arguing that....I just turned on the TV.....and the game was on..
Then I saw this "decibel" thing...
So, I asked a question



What's wrong with that....?

You're blaming foxtel when it was a channel 7 initiative!

if it succeeds you'll see it at your own club 2 weeks later

Looking forward to the deployment of the spectrum analyser.

Ahh sir, if you'd just report back to the Collingwood thread that will be very much appreciated by all fellow members

Well....."someone"......and I really don't care who it's was, had it on.
.....but at the end of the day. It was on TV.......
OK....?

Do you mean the "Roar Meter" they used to flash up? I remember as a kid I loved that crap, looking back now though it was cringeworthy...

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Port Adelaide are embarrassing. The decibel metre and the song before the game.

They just got torn apart by Essendon and I'm glad because all that stuff is cringeworthy. The AFL needs to step in.

If only they did things the North Melbourne way and had s**t crowds.

 

[Epilegs]

It got the crowd up and about in a very s**t game

I didn't have an issue with this - there's been a lot of talk about how loud Adelaide Oval is this season (turning up the siren etc) and so actually measuring it seems like an interesting thing to do. I figure it's just a once off.

They peaked at about 25 below the Seahawks record I think, but it probably wasn't the best game for it.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I reckon we would've gotten close to the Seahawks record in the Hawthorn game.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

There is just too much crap in footy these days.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Having attended a lot of away games interstate I have to admit I think we have taken the match day entertainment too far and it is almost becoming a distraction to the players.

Guys like Chad Wingard don't need smoke blown up their own arses seconds before the game by rolling out a highlights montage on the big screen with commentary included and as for the decibel meter; just cringeworthy and pathetically American.

Time to make it about the football again Port Adelaide.

Not a chance. The Seahawks stadium was designed with its acoustics in mind and seats an extra 10,000 people.

But in typical South Australian tradition they are 10 years behind the rest of the country.

 

[Righteo]

Classic Mr Smiff, such a raving looney.

 

[Ogopogo]

Who copied the Minnesota Twins circa 1987 & 1991. The Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis was the original Decibel Dome, and having been to a few games there it was well named.

Every North American sport does this and has for years. Nobody can really lay claim to this, it has been going on for a long time.

I was watching the dees freo game, what song did port play?

 

[Tas]

C7 should spend less money on dumb s**t and more on providing a high definition signal so the goal review umpire doesn't have to look at your shitty blurry standard definition replays trying to spot fingers being bent back.

Okay, I am going to bed, enough ranting.

 

[CrazyJoeDevola]

Ask a simply question.....
....and I feel like Ned.

Its time to start cracking some skulls

 

[seysearles]

I'm watching PA/Ess. and just before the start of the 4th qtr, Foxtet showed the results of a "decibel meter"....!

I think one of these would have been far more appropriate ....

North put "let's make some noise" then an artificial crowd noise of the loud speaker. That along with the "here comes the boom" when Harvey kicks a goal is beyond cringeworthy
