Hats off to the fans in the Dome

its because they started putting a decibel meter on the jumbotron while the Saints D was on the field.

they showed it in the bottom right corner of the jumbotron, while the cameras were showing the players in the huddle up until they got set for the snap. once the fans took notice, they got louder to see if it would go up. it did.

Hey "O" , O sorry I didn't get a chance to say "Hello" to you as my wife and I came in for the game quickly and had to get back to Cally. Anyway, I feel, especially based on the way the Fans took notice of the DB meter being shown, that should be the rule during every Defensive Play as it will give everyone a visual goal to shoot for.

I suppose they stopped it when it became clear The SAINTS weren't in any mood to lose this one in any fashion and the crowd still stayed with the noise until it really thinned out by all of those who don't know how to finish off an opponent.

In any case, my wife's first SAINTS game in Da DOME ( we've seen 'em everytime they travel out this way) and she was sufficiently amazed at the whole experience, which is truly the BEST TICKET IN TOWN for entertainment~!
