Funny you should mention this...
I sat in the upper endzone for the first time ever this week and it was probably the first game that I can remember NOT hearing what sounded like crowd noise coming from the speakers.
I usually sit in section 429, which is at about the 40 yard line, visitors side and there are speakers right behind us. I could be wrong, it could just be the noise bouncing off the metal speakers or the lights or something, but it sounds like crowd noise is coming out of them.
However, this past week there was nothing behind me except for about 3 more rows and then the clear blue sky and I didn't hear anything. Then again, I could barely hear the stadium announcer throughout the game so maybe I was just a bit too far removed.
So all this leads me to believe that many of the people who are convinced that they NEVER pump noise into the stadium because they've never heard it themselves may have just been sitting in an area where they either can't hear the PA that well OR that they are far enough away from the speakers that some of the noise starts to blend in with the crowd (because 92,000 fans are obviously going to make a lot of noise).
