Once upon a time teams got into some hot water for intentionally piping in amplified crowd noise.  Prior to 1990, if a crowd got too noisy, the refs could stop the game until they quieted down, if the crowd didn't quiet down, the home team would be charged a time out, if out of timeouts, penalized for delay of game.  Now that is too extreme on the opposite end in my opinion.</p></blockquote><p></p>
