So the other night I'm watching the Sabres...

[Earthquake Enyart]

and the fans start the "Let's go Buffalo" chant going.

Why don't they do it at Bills games? Can you imagine 80,000 screaming "Let's go Buffalo?"

[Mr. Miyagi]

I agree. I think we should.

I thought The Ralph only seated 64,000 or something.

[Mudflap1]

At least 70,000+. Like 73k or something.

[Jan Reimers]

73,967.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I'm old school. It used to be 80,000. :ee:

Cheering in Football is more effective when it is constant and very loud. It is for the purpose of disrupting the QB from making the proper calls at the line. LETS GO BUFFALO Wouldn't be a constant noise. This is also why I think the DEFENSE chant is also ******ed.

I'm old
Yeah you are :ee:

Sure but LET'S GO BUFFALO would psych up our players too.

[Gunzlingr]

The Bills fans at the Vikings game in MN were chanting that.

80,000 people chanting might sound a little more intimidating than 150 people chanting.

73,967. But who's counting?

A chant from 73K fans would be far more intimidating than a bunch of white noise type cheering that is not in unison.

True, but I figured if the contingent there did it, they probably did it at RWS. :idunno:

No way.

They should already be phyched up. We need to disrupt communication

[Mr. Miyagi]

I think we can do both! Chant between plays and white noise when we're on D!

[pintonick96]

Totally agree with Thurm. Players could give a **** whats being chanted unles it's something negative to the other team (such as chanting "War-ren!" during the Greatest Comeback since he blew it). But constant noise on defense is the key. It's why on the jumbotron it say "make some noise" and not some chant. Thurm, props to you.

[Bert102176]

they use to but Ralph has f'ed the team up so much that they don't have winning seasons anymore once the team is owned by someone that cares about winning and if the team is kept here I think the fans would scream it again

We used to do it back in the Kelly days.:ill: It has become a lost art, The Ralph used to be a nightmare to play at.

Because after "Let's Go" the 30,000 drunk fans forget what they were going to say, 20,000 high priced ticket holders can't be bothered, 10,000 are still booing Rob Johnson and calling for Jim Kelly, and the rest are chicks that don't even know which team to cheer for.

[Don't Panic]

If memory serves we used to do it during the glory days. Granted, I've been to about 5 games at the Ralph in the last 7 years, but I'm pretty sure we did it back in the day.

There's really a big difference between Rich Stadium and the Ralph.
The total capacity for the Ralph is 73,967, but that includes upward of 8 thousand club seats which did not exist pre 1999. When it was Rich, there were, perhaps, upward of 12 to 15 thousand more people outdoors than there are now. That's a huge difference in audible noise. If the games do not sell out, the Stadium is cavernous and not loud at all.

[FlyingDutchman]

At West Virginia U they have a chant where one side of the stadium yells "LETS GO!" and the other side follows with "MOUNTAINEERS!" I wouldnt mind seeing that tradition get started here with Buffalo obvioulsly subsituted. Its usually done during time outs or slow parts so it does not take away from cheering durinig crucial parts like the wave does or anything.

That will only really happen in the college atmosphere which suck because those cheers are awesome. Penn State has "We Are Penn State!" and after every good defensive play the song "Kenkraft 400" by Zombie Nation comes on and the crowd yells the tune of that ending with a "We Are Penn State" also.
