Sound and Vision

Jimmy Conrad asks himself an interesting question. I just had to pass it on:

11. Is seeing everyone in the stands wearing all the same color as big a deal to players as it is to some fans or is crowd noise more important?

What I said: As cool as it is to see a certain section or a whole stadium dressed in the same color as the home team, I think crowd noise is much more important because it's something I can sense when I'm on the field playing and it's something the home team can feed off of.

What I should have said sarcastically: As cool as it is to hear a certain section or a whole stadium cheering as one to rally around the home team, I think all the fans wearing the same color shirt is much more important because it's something that has me shaking in my little space boots when I come out of the tunnel as a visiting player. For example, I definitely know I'm in for a long night if all the fans agree to wear black for a playoff game. Ooh, scary.
