Good news..''Put the toothpaste back in the tube''

i'm wondering how they can effectively add new/closer seating w/o a major tearout and overhaul. I suppose they could be level with the field back to where the current seats are but that would make for sucky seating, IMO.

 

DJ, I cannot believe you just asked me why I continue to have this answer. If you did not bring it up a thousand times, no one would hear a peep out of me is one answer. The other one is this. I do not play the tapes of Mike Dee backwards because I'm not into sumbliminal messages. lol

He, nor any executive for the Miami Dolphins have never once said that their reasons are to make the Dolphins players play better, harder, faster due to the experience that the fans will bring. That's just BS imo...

The reason they want to do upgrades is to make money by creating something for the fans. Not for the fans to make this team of highly paid professionals play harder, faster and much less, better....

 

You've started 20 similar threads about this same subject, and constantly comment in other threads about how ****ty we are as fans. Having been to more games than most Dolphins fans, in both venues, I sure the hell know about it, and even moreso, I give more **** about this team than most as well. I put tons of money into this team. Tons of time invested in going to games, and tons of time spent with sore throats, headaches from screaming my *** off for them..........

So I will continue to express my feelings here in these threads you make and will continue to disagree with how you feel it reads....sorry but thats what these forums are for. Debating and sharing opinions.

 

Because it is a great human experience. To not feel those goosebumps while at a show is kind of sad.

 

Well that pretty much ended with the first home game. The crowd was roudy as hell, and the defense got their asses handed to them on a platter.

To be even close to a playoff team in 2011 the team needed to improve on the field, not in the stands.

 

I mean I enjoy the music. I'm sorry my hair follicles didn't act accordingly. It certainly didn't make my physically stronger or faster. I'm sure if I were trying to do something else while at the concert, I'd probably be distracted.

 

I think it's like 3500 seats that were to be added. That's not getting much closer and can be done without changing the slope of the lower bowl.

The correct thing to do would be gut the inside and rebuild it all. Bringing the lower bowl closer while increasing the angle. Then raise, and bring the skyboxes closer so the upper deck would have something to stand on by bring them forward.

 

Obviously you need to smoke more pot.

 

Best point in this entire thread

 

That is both insulting to scientiests and pro athletes.

 

You don't need to be a dork to run statistical analysis. If an athlete were affected by it, there would be proof supporting the theory.

 

Explain how two seasons ago this team did not win one game at home yet did so well on the road? Maybe the opponents fans felt sorry for the Miami Dolphins players and "created" the atmosphere for them?

And before you say the players were just glad to be out of Miami, stop because thats bullcrap

 

First of all Deej, I am not in tandem with anyone. I come here alone and I do not PM people to get them on my side.

Secondly, I do not look one bit silly here. You're the one making all these threads about JRS. Its not anyone but you and until you get Mike Dee to come out and say in PLAIN ENGLISH the exact same things you think you're saying, then it is you who don't get it.

I'm going to continue to comment when I feel the need though.

 

Man, I had to reread this to make sure but dude you just insulted the **** out of me, and you need to stop. I dont go around thanking peoples posts to get them in tandem to be against you. If anything then you would be quilty of that same thing. Go back and see how many times you thanked Todd. Thats bull****! Whomever agrees with you is great. Whomever don't its just debate

You have no idea EXACTLY what Mike Dee means. Never once has his words came close to what you keep telling us it means. Telling me I dont get it is another crock of crap because YOU are the one insinuating the meaning of it, not me.

 

I only read a couple of his posts but still, you keep on with the Oz don't get it stuff and yet Mike Dee's exact words are nothing as to what you're trying to tell us they mean.

He could come out tomorrow and say its because of money. OR he could come out and say Deej is right......but until then you're speculating on it.

 

Respectfully, that's not what he's saying, Oz. He's saying the stadium is preventing Dolphin fans from being as good a fans at home as we could be, hence the improvements needed to the stadium rather than improvements to the fans. But I will say, a pack of Dolphin fans at an established "Miami Dolphins" bar in NC are noticeably less spirited as a group than a quarter the number of Steeler or Raven fans at a normal NC sports bar.

 

I completely agree, but with the parity of the NFL, something as seemingly insignificant as one extra win in a season could mean the difference between a playoff birth and SB run verse watching it at home from your couch. Personally, I want every advantage I can get.

 

The Broncos don't need Peyton Manning for that. Nor do the Ravens.

 

The Miami Dolphins suck as an organization right now, the Steelers and Ravens give their fans a reason to drink up and celebrate. Miami gives me a reason to get wasted and stop caring about football...and most assuredly stop paying $400 for a hot Sunday out to lose my voice, defend my home city against belligerent opposing fans, and just generally feel crappy driving home.

 

Yeah, you definitely aren't an auditory person, so for you to dismiss the affect b/c you, yourself, don't experience would be a mistake.

I'm an auditory person. Kinesthetic, too. I can tell you from today's experience alone the affect that loudness, pitch, and tone has after spending a few hours sifting through youtube listening to the roar of some of those engines, and for that duration I was perked up with an obvious release of endorphins. Actually hearing those cars live? I can probably recall most of the instances where I heard one open up the throttle.

And it's not just the sound, it's the waves of vibration felt from the sound. Not to be racist, but have you not noticed that a significant percentage of young black males enjoy rap music? You've heard of that, right? How about the prominent bass tones that accompany it? That's a similar sensation to feeling the sound of 70,000 energetic fans.



Which of the senses perks your head up a bit when experienced?

 

Just for the record Deej, I was not calling you ridiculous. I was calling this argument ridiculous.

As you know, I have great respect for you

 

Those were some late 4th qtr games right? Isn't that the time when players wear down, especially in close games like these where it's mentally more draining?

yeah, but 2 didn't go the other way. With an improved stadium leading to improved fan energy & spirit, then 2 of those games my very well have gone the other way since they were 4th qtr games. And dont tell me the talent on our roster and QB play is worse than Cleveland, NY, and Buffalo's. Now you're really reaching to substantiate your argument.

 

b/c sound's affects on us are amazing (if you're an auditory person)...... but you have your own enjoyments from other senses we likely dont experience to nearly the same degree, so it probably balances out.

 

"Put the toothpaste back in the tube"

 

I didn't dismiss it because of my own experiences. I dismissed it because the scientific research indicates it doesn't have an affect.

 

if we filled the stadium with more of our own fans, there'd probably be less belligerent opposing ones. just sayin.

 

I wouldn't agree. I listen to music as often as possible. But I don't believe it increases my athletic ability. I usually even pause my music when I'm working out, and start playing again between sets.
