I honestly feel like a moron for admitting this but I had never considered the possibility that FOX, CBS, ESPN and ABC adjust the volume of the game that comes into your house.
I have no reason why they would tone it down but it seems to me that if you pipe the sound up a little bit during critical situations that you might be able to grasp the attention of the viewers at home a little more.
I can no longer base my opinion of the Cowboys fan noise on the TV.
With that said, when I went to TS back in 2007 I really wasn't overly impressed. That was the Rams game where Romo made that crazy fumble recovery and run and that was probably the loudest point in the game. Of course, that game was a blowout so maybe that had something to do with it.
I really expected it to be louder at a professional game. I spent some time at KU and I think Allen Fieldhouse holds about 1/5th the amount of people that TS did. Indoors and bouncing off hardwood or not, there were times where I couldn't hear the person next to me yelling into my ear.
I can't speak for the additional thousands of people at Cowboys Stadium but back at TS, the crowd was pretty mild unless a big play had already happened.
All you have to do is watch the opposing QB not use the silent count to know how quiet the fans are.
