Noise level

[raetiamann]

Unfortunately because of the relentless noise from the Whitehouse, we don't take our younger two grandchildren anywhere near as often as both we and they would like. I can't see us ever giving them earmuffs, so for the time being at least the club is missing out on young supporters.

Funny how some people see the noise levels at the Arena an issue!! I thought that was what we the fans, the players and club would want from 5000/6000 cheering supporters???
Take football as an example, 30,000 at Bramall lane shouting and singing throughout the game and verbally disagreeing with each and every referee decision, that leads to many players, managers and pundits, saying, its one of the best atmospheres to witness in the football league. At times its very difficult to here the PA system, and I wouldn't have it any other way!! So why not hockey???
Get behind the team, join in with the singing and chanting and maybe the 50/50 ticket you bought for £1 gets up a big prize? a very big prize.
Team sport specifically is about creating atmosphere that's unique to your club and your team and that must be with music, singing and chanting!!
Final point, perhaps these people who complain about the noise levels should visit a few of the other rinks/arenas in the league and compare the fan numbers, size of building, history and achievements to fully understand what a great atmosphere should really be like.
More noise the better for me!!

I don't think anyone was complaining about the noise from the crowd. As far as I can see, most complaints are about the shouting from the white house.

I don't have a problem whatsoever with general noise levels in fact I think its great and creates a fantastic atmosphere but it then gets interrupted and spoiled by someone shouting or playing inappropriate music over the PA System which kills it dead.

If it were purely fans creating their own atmosphere and noise during games then it would be absolutely fantastic.
100%.

Unfortunately the powers that be seem to think shouting down a microphone and telling people when to wave their flags and ‘allowing’ them to sing ‘on their own’ is what is needed.
Add to that constant Duuuuuubaaaarrr vocalisations whenever the puck goes anywhere near our resident goal tender makes our game night experience less enjoyable to say the least.

Let the fans do their own thing!!!

The Duba chants where good when we started doing it but as soon as the whitehouse takes over it’s ruined.

Unfortunately I don’t think we really ‘get’ hockey over here.

Me and my wife have been to hundreds of away games and know how much noise the Steelers fans can make and so does Simms.But when we are at the arena he has to be in charge,he’s a complete control freak.

[raetiamann]

We can moan on here about his controlling attitude but when the crowd does just what he tells them to do, well it's unlikely he'll stop anytime soon.

[SteelerBlade]

Atmosphere is usually dead at the arena until the refs screw us then when everyone is angry they get going!

Measured general peaks of 80-85 dba when music was being played. However once the occupant of the Whitehorse started screaming levels were regularly reaching over 90dba. Not good.
