    Fun times but the league really should look into how much crowd noise was pumped into that stadium with the Steelers on offense. Not nit picking but it was really laughable when 70% Steelers fans attendance wise were silent while the offense was on the field and yet it hit 114 decibels on the meter. Everyone around us noticed it. Glad we got a win but Canadas play calling is atrocious. Steelers need to learn how to put teams away but the refs really did help the Raiders keep it too close for comfort. Stadium was nice and Vegas is fun. Be nice to be back for the Super Bowl but Steelers need to play much better to be in it. It might be a pipe dream but a lot of season is still left.:herewego!:

    Sounds like failclowns when they got busted with pumping in fake crowd noise. I think they lost a pick over it.

    Something needs to be done because it was blatantly obvious. MT won’t say a word though. He doesn’t like to ruffle any feathers.

    The Colts did it earlier in the year when Manning destroyed us and Ben beat them in the playoffs before we won the Super Bowl.

    It’s on YouTube. The CD starts skipping. Yeah, I think that is flat out cheating. Like headphone Comm disruption by the Cheatriots.

    I might even get snow flakey and lean in on poor locker room conditions too!

    I wonder how much NBC had to do with the fake crowd noise?

    Interestingly thought but 86WardsWay was there and NBC would have no control on what was in the stadium

    The section that I was sitting in was probably a total of 250 seats and maybe 40 of them were Raiders fans. While on offense Id look around and no Steelers fans were yelling but the decibel level constantly hit 1o8 or above and the group in front of me kept shaking their heads going what’s up with the fake crowd noise. I don’t think NBC had anything to do with it. The league should address the issue but I know they won’t.

    The Seahawks used to be notorious for it as well

    We got an air BNB about 5 miles from the stadium and 2 miles from the strip for $170 a night. Wife looked up availability for SB weekend and it is listed for $646 a night that weekend.

    There was also a conspiracy theory about them shifting the vents to blow against the opposing teams kickers during field goal attempts

    I can't imagine a network getting involved in such, other than their own audio, not legit cheering noise in the stadium though.

    Hey, I'm sure you heard that Heinz Field (I refuse to call it what it is) is notorious for tough FG's. Maybe we are doing it there. ;)

    I paid $450 the day before game hoping they would go down. They went up and up and up as you can see by my screen shot.

    That whole stadium was built to prop up the myth of the 12th man. The may have some loud and passionate fans but the design of the stadium takes that noise and funnels it back toward the field. I hate that so many ppl buy into the lie that they are the loudest fans. You sit on a throne of lies Seahawks and your billion dollar owner threw a ton of money at a public university so they'd settle the copyright case so they could continue to call themselves the 12th man for the Seahawks. Your fake people fake.


    Sorry had to get that out.

    Damn, ticket prices are off the chart. If it makes anyone feel better I'm going up to see the Pirates play the phillies for the grand total of 21.00.

    Sports has taught me human's cannot go 4 hours without food or using the bathroom. You see it at halftime during NFL games. I'm going to attempt it, so I'll drive up and try to make it 4 hours without stadium grub. Granted I'll have to pee before ride home.

    That was an added design bonus for having the open end with a panoramic of the city, it makes the wind off the river start to swirl. I'm not sure of the scientific basis for it but after awhile I think it got to some kickers heads.

    Wasn't the door thing about old Texas stadium where opening a door changed the pressure and they thought it made it hard to kick at that end?
