I have noticed, as a season ticket holder since the new stadium was built (and before that) in the past two years that indeed the fear of playing here is gone. Teams have figured out silent counts and other methods to neutralize the noise. Where 10 years ago opposing teams were besides themselves trying to hear the play call, now all they do is silent count and the ball is snapped without issue no matter how LOUD it is.
This, to me, is one of the most distressing elements of all. Where our home was once feared as the most intimidating, LOUDEST place to play, is little more than a nuisance to teams coming here.
5-3 at home this year is probably my least favorite stat of all.
This.
It's not that the crowd isn't loud anymore, or the player's aren't jacked up for home games.............IMO it's 90% teams have figured out how to counteract the crowd noise with silent counts, hand signals and don't forget now the QB has a mic in his ear to get play calls.
Add in the fact that the Hawks have gone to two SB's,and won one. So that makes them easy to get up for if you're the other team coming in here ready to rock and beat a team that took pleasure in rubbing your face in losses the past 4 years.
Well YOU certainly always have everything figured out don't you?
