The RBC Center was loud in to '06 playoffs because it was half-full of the visiting team's fans.... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I hate the Canes more than anyone, but their arena is loud come playoff time. Way louder than HSBC/FNC, of that there is no doubt, but I don't know about Chicago. However, and I've said this before, I think the biggest contribution to the loud decibel levels produced at RBC is the building acoustics. FNC is absolutely cavernous compared to that place. Plus they have that washed up wrestler woo-wooing on the scoreboard and the fat black guy blowing that annoying horn that never fail to whip those caniacs into a frenzy.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I went to a regular season Canes vs. Stars game last year at the RBC center while visiting my sister; (two teams I despise for obvious reasons) But Ruttu got a hat trick and it was an exciting 4-2 win for carolina. I was amazed at how low that place actually was. The arena was very nice too and its almost on its own seperate island away from NC state. plus I picked up tickets for 7 bucks each!!! I hate the Canes, but I have to give props to the experiece that I had there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrod424 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nothing is better than coming back from the Sabres overtime win last year just to find that some jackass decided to break a bottle behind both of my aunts tires. That guy really showed us! Canes fans are the worst losers, and living in Charlotte I get to see it first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the baby eating is included, but I wasn't sure the crunching of semi formed bones would really boost the decibel levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I still believe they are piping crowd noise in through the speakers. A friend of mine mentioned to me the other day how they utilize the audio system at RBC to crank up the noise. He works at RBC and continues to extend the urban legend around Sabres fans and all that raping, pillaging and baby eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 This This.....is BS . Sorry guys, this is simply not true. While RBC might not be the absolute loudest game to game regular season, it is on another level in the playoffs. Perpetuating this myth makes us look silly and petty...

I have a hard time believing that there building in a playoff game is louder than ours.... unless it is simply the acoustics of the place. I havent been to a playoff there but every playoff game I go to in Buffalo I leave with my ears ringing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent been to a playoff there but every playoff game I go to in Buffalo I leave with my ears ringing I've been to about 10 playoff games in RBC, none in Buffalo. I just don't have opportunity to go, so I can't speak to the noise levels at HSBC/FNC. But trust me, RBC playoff time is REALLY REALLY FREAKIN LOUD!!!!! There is no way that is manufactured noise, sorry, it just isn't true.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
