Mickalino Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I was quite surprised that cowbells didnt come up in the Search function. Why are these things allowed in Tampa games ? I heard a Tampa reporter compare them to other fan's practices, such as the UF Gators' "Alligator Chomp", or the "Tomahawk Chomp" by the Seminoles or Atlanta Braves. Except they're missing one thing. The other comparisons don't make any noise. While the cowbells are loud as hell. It's one thing for fans to get loud, stomp, or even bang on their seats. But it's another to bring in an extra-curricular tool to multiply the sound level about 10 times. To me, a more fair comparison, would be the teams that were accused of pumping in artificial crowd noise into their stadium. It's an unfair, and extremely excessive advantage. Imagine 50,000 fans simultaneously clanging on their free cowbells given by the stadium / owner. Is it a matter of time before the league forbids these ? I'm amazed it's been allowed this long. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If they banned cowbells they'd have to ban those damn thundersticks at Angels games too... And ban that damn rally monkey along with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If you put down 20 bucks on the Rays to win the World Series back in April, you could be looking at 3 grand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I don't really see why they'd have to ban them. I'm sure quite a few of us here have improvised noise-making devices at Skins games (change in a water bottle, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've got a brilliant idea..... Beat the SOB's on the field and their fans will be headed for the exit very quickly so it won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike619 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 the sacramento queens used to do the same thing. it sucks and is distracting at first but you can get used to it and eventually just forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
