bulldog Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I wonder how long it will take for the Eagles to drill holes in the walls adjacent to the cheerleaders' lockers and showers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleSteve Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Originally posted by TankRizzo is it me or does it not look that steep? It is very steep. Now the nutjobs will be a lot closer to field then they were at the Vet. It was designed to keep the crowd noise in, like RFK, whereas FedEx lets noise escape. Watch out for batteries.

Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 That place just looks like noise will escape out of there. But how many more seats are in there and how many more cubic feet does it have? Also where will the nutjobs sit compared to the fat cats who dont make any noise?

codeorama Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Kilmer, the jail is near the cheerleader locker rooms with the holes in the walls, now the players and "normal Eagles fans" will be able to peep in on the Cheer Chix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the cut out sides. Noise will flow right out without a weird eco effect of anything. I think that's for concerts. I see what you're saying about the top with that cover for keeping it in...but I can't imagine it'll make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsknbill Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I feel a poll coming on. How many years (or weeks) will it take for the Philthy fans to trash the new stadium? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured that they'd want the Philly freaks to feel at home for the season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sippin2020 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I just read that it only has 66,000 seats. Isn't that a little low for a new NFL stadium these days? Aren't we pushing 85,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 that's okay, the Eagles don't spend much money on player development anyway, so they don't need the bigger stadium deal :laugh: Lurie is rich and Reid continues to want to try and win a Super Bowl without having to spend money on any one except Donovan McNabb. Douglas left. Trotter left. No doubt Taylor will be gone after this season. Meanwhile, who have they acquired at WR or RB to support McNabb? Nobody........they are still trying to tell us that Todd Pinkston and Duce Staley are going to be good enough to ride them to a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't we pushing 85,000? Alot of the newer ones are samller seating with more luxery boxes and new technologies (big screens etc.) Raymond James Stadium seats 66,000 also down from 74,300 in the Old Sombrero. The new Philly stadium looks good, much better than the Vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsbadd Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I have been by the new site a few times, The seats are closer to the field,but I don't think there will be as much of a noise factor because of the open sides. It comes down to the ticket prices and how many of the old blue collar vet fans purchase PSL'S. I believe the upper sections do not require PSL'S so the "700" section fans will have a new roost. If the crowd gets quiet there should be plenty of traffic noise as the staduim sits about 20 feet from I 95. The big difference of course will be the turf,which will not be a home field issue anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 The noise will be very loud since all they do is boo anyway. When you have 66K booing, it will be loud :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 The ticket prices may force the philly crazies to bars and create a philly gourmet cheese and crystal crowd at the new stadium. But Santa should still proceed with caution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsknbill Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I don;t know if there was an answer to this or I just missed it but, Is there a jail and a courtroom in the new stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleSteve Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Originally posted by rdsknbill How many years (or weeks) will it take for the Philthy fans to trash the new stadium? :laugh: One of the major problems with the Vet was that it was managed by the city. City workers were responsible for maintenance, upkeep, and cleaning. Both Busch and Arrowhead stadiums are as old as the Vet and they are in great shape. With the Eagles managing the stadium now, I would expect it to be much less trashy. At least until some of the fans arrive. And as far as noise goes - the Vet got really loud, and it's just a hole in the ground. I don't expect LFF to be any less noisy than the Vet - unless, of course, the wine and cheese crowd takes over from the beer and batteries crowd. Wouldn't it be nice to open the new stadium with a Super Bowl year for the Birds? Nah, never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
