didn't the Saints get penalized for excessive noise from fans back in the day ?

Usually a flag would make the crowd irate and they would get even louder.

Last year or the year before the NFL allowed stadiums to pump in noise and to use the jumbotron to encourage fans to yell louder.

They're just relaxing those new guidelines.

Gee how nice of NFL's Hitler Goodell.

"the NFL is concerned that fans are increasingly choosing the home experience over the stadium experience and has been looking for ways to make fans enjoy attending games more."

never mind the overpriced concessions, what the really fans want is to be told when to make more noise

Yes, they used to throw a flag on the crowd noise when the opposing qb was behind center. The penalty was 5 yards . I remember the Saints Defense getting several over the years,

The crowd noise rule was eliminated in 2007

Crowd noise: The five-yard penalty against the defense for excessive crowd noise has been eliminated. The penalty
had not been called in many years.

they threaten with penalties. There was a time in the DomePatrol era where we had (I think Elway) backed up on the 5 yard line and he was complaining to the refs but the fans just got louder when they threatened to penalize us. They were asking Saints Players on the sideline to help but they were doing so half heartedly and laughing. Fun stuff - I couldn't talk for 4 days.

Ok, so now Atlanta is allowed to provide their fans further instructions on how to cheer for their team.

Yeah,but only after the first quarter when they show up.

Yep. For a while there I think we drew at least one flag a game and the warnings we would get from the zebras.
