Yesterday was the best overall game day experience I've ever had at BOA

I would however like to point out that blue neck gatrs (bandanas) need to be one  and done. Hardly nobody was waiving them at all. The white towels last week made the stadium seem more alive for sure.

im sure anybody that attended both games would agree

I would Agree.. They should have gave both a Towel and a Gator.. That Gator literally saved my life..that and the 2 extra pair of socks changing them during halftime.. the snow melted and soaked my shoes..

It was rocking.  The stadium was shaking several times.  On the radio broadcast they even mention how the press box was shaking.

Bill Voth was tweeting that during the game.

I agree with the idea that folks were simply stunned last night to be there and were just taking it all in initially.

The Seahawks game was four years of frustration and being tired of Seattle and Russell Wilson and wanting to make a statement. The crowd was a lot more intense because of the rivalry and understanding the significance of the opponent.

Between Stew gashing them up the middle followed by Star getting the TFL on Lynch and the Luke pick six off a near-sack by KK, that start was everything everyone in that crowd wanted to do to that team for so long, and when it finally culminated in that TD the place just lost it.

The Cardinals don't exactly bring out that same feeling.

I asked but never really got an answer on Twitter... the game last week seemed MUCH louder on TV than this week's game.

I'm assuming maybe Fox didn't have the same mic system setup or something?  I mean, I could hear the crowd, but it seemed very muted.  Everyone on twitter was saying how the stadium was literally rocking...  how loud was it? We literally couldn't tell on TV.

 

the seattle game was louder - i would say by about 30% louder.

I don't think anyone in section 133 ever sat down. Even the 80 yr old couple beside us never sat, they went as far as to lean against their seats a few times. On my other side was a father and teenage son, that kid had the time of his life. The row behind me consisted entirely of a Latin group of some sort that only spoke Spanish. Language barriers aside, we were all high fiving, hugging and dancing together.

The stadium was loud as poo, especially the second half.

 

We were in the same section! This is the first game I've been to where it seemed that everyone was standing the entire game. Only other game to rival it was the Dallas playoff game during our last Super Bowl run. After sitting through our playoff loss to the Cardinals years ago, this was cathartic, and the best game I've ever been to.

i didn't go to the game (stupid job) but a 6:40 start is a weird start time as far as energy goes. Like it's enough for where most people have lost energy drunk and got tired drunk.

But yeah once the game started i can't imagine it was a dull atmosphere.

[PanthersBigD]

The only Cardinals fans I saw were outside of the stadium during our tailgate. I never saw one in person in the stands. 

[jasonluckydog]

It looked crazy on TV saw some guy go flopping out the stands, hope he is okay.

It was a little dicey over toward South End after the game. A lot of the kids who hadn't paced themselves were stumbling around like Johnny Ringo after taking that bullet to the head. Saw more than one SUV with vomit flames painted down the side.

and just think you were not even gonna go to the game until I talked you into it.  I think you owe me one. btw did you see my gofundme page :)

I would also like to see a picture of how many people were at the sideline selfie taking picture throughout the season. There had to be 20 cameras there to take yesterdays picture. 

Here's one I got from my vantage point:

crowd noise was the loudest i'd ever heard it. sounds like the broadcast didn't mic it up very well. my abdomen is still sore from screaming my body hollow.

the entire second half was a dance party. it was a fuging rave. everyone danced. it was a reflection of the culture instilled on the field of ass kicking with a grin. no waving your harris teeter card either. no mickey mouse club bullshit. it was all business from the word go.

what a time to be alive.

If you listen to Carson Palmer's post-game interview, you can hear screaming faintly in the background. It was loud last night.  

It starts at about the 37 second mark: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000628099/article/carson-palmer-cards-loss-will-hurt-for-rest-of-my-life.

Went to most games in 2010 and PSL owner since 2011 (Thank you Jimmy for bringing the price down where we could afford them!).  Last night was the most alive I have seen the stadium since I have been going.  In the 4th, the stadium (518 nosebleeds) was literally rocking so much it was unsettling to my wife.  Only second time we have felt it rock like that - the first being the Monday night win over the Pats a few years back.  No one sat for either of the last two games other than for halftime.  

As for the giveaways... I disagree completely.  I love the bandannas given away last night.  Something different.  And even better - not "sponsored" so no annoying ads on them.  There is only so many towels that one can have although we do use our stack for napkins during various football themed parties at the house.  The bandanna is second only to the non-sponsored Keep Pounding flag they gave away earlier in the season.   Fortunately that game was a game where there were a lot of opposing fans which means we were able to grab more on the way down at the end of the game.    Now have one hanging in my home office, work office, and gave some away to friends.
