      Re: Best Dome crowd ever?

      It was pretty loud last Saturday. But it could have been way louder. Over half the people around me seemed to think it was acceptable to make no noise at all.

      People need to realize that this is a football game - not a golf outing. It is not ok to come and sit and not yell.

      P.S. A guy near me was rolling an empty water bottle (the ones sold at the dome) between his hands and it was quite loud. I'm going to do that next time...

On both plays the Ref looked at the QB and pointed back to the center as if to say ... "now you only have ten sec. to get this play off."

        btw ... they didn't score, and you know how the game ended. Classic #1 v. #2 match-up.
        Upthread, someone mentioned the old roof and how it seems to enhance the sound. Might be soemthing to that, or maybe the changes in the shape. I been at games with nearly full crwods at the Rose Bowl and it did not compare to the noise at a UNI home game in the '90s.

        But, that old roof made for some really poor sounding concerts.

            Doug Nussmeier was Idaho's QB that day. He played a great game. That one was a classic.
            Winning is more fun than losing.

              I'm intrigued by this water bottle idea

                Idaho vs UNI was louder in my opinion. Then again I was in Section T with a very large number of "less than happy" NDSU fans. The tickets were a 50th B-day present. Best birthday I've ever had!

                  That was, by far, the best football game I have ever attended. It was so loud on that final drive I had to cover my ears while yelling at the top of my lungs. It actually HURT.
                  Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
                  Victory for U-N-I!

                  Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

                    Especially since plastic key fobs make very little noise.

                      This. Keyless ignition is killing a tradition. Damned progress.

                        We bring a ring of old keys with us for our son to use. But it's just not the same as it used to be when everyone had jingly keys in their pocket. Oh the good old days!

                                Do NOT use that word in that way. Do NOT. Now go back to bison land.
