That's because they believe the crap they've been fed about how they're special little snowflakes and there are no fans as good as they are. Reality is Bomber fans have always been better and louder than Rider fans, the media just never had to stroke our egos like they had to with poor widdle Rider fans.

Medlockmoney Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Glad to see we won the loudest fans as well as the game! On a side note, didn't teams use to get penalized for asking their fans to make noise? Montreal games are torture with that stupid "make some noise!...." before every play... SO Annoying!

Fan Boy Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 On 10/09/2017 at 10:25 AM, Dragon37 said: The designs of the two stadiums does indeed help. Our stadium is a tighter footprint putting the fans closer to the field of play and the having the ends closed in just a bit more aides as well. Mosaic is a bit more open with a lower seating angle wider sidelines and, therefore, creating more open space. I do believe that if Mosaic had a tighter design bring the fans in closer and enclosing the one end of the stadium more it would have been as loud. We can all try and dispel that design of the stadiums doesn't play a role but I think that just wouldn't be accurate. In theory Edmonton and BC should have the loudest fans as they can put more fans in their stadiums. The Roof design has got to be a factor but I don't think size matters that much. One of the Bomber lineman (too lazy to check who) said that he played in front of much larger crowds in college but IGF fans are closer so IGF is louder. A huge covered stadium like the Cowboy stadium might bounce sound around I guess but distance from fan to field matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the fact that the design of our "contains" the sound more than Regina's does. Their stands are wider apart and one end of Mosaic is more open than the ends of IGF.

I meant that the IFG roof seems more like a reflector than the Mosaic which seems more curved but I am not a sound engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Let's compromise with the Rider fans on this. We can agree that they have the loudest whining and they can agree we have the loudest fans. rebusrankin, Fan Boy, blue_gold_84 and 6 others 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders have the worst one by far. When they moved to the new stadium I thought perhaps the siren would go away. If anything it got louder.

That siren mounted atop the ugly green ATV Gainer rides around the stadium has to be one of the dumbest, lamest things in all sports. I'm honestly surprised that's even allowed: having an EMS siren on a non-emergency vehicle. Nickthesizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that they keep it going into the kick off and during play, that should be stopped. Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the most insufferable fanbase in the CFL - win or lose. Yeah, the way they go on you'd think their team as been a dynasty for the last decade. Reality is they have won 2 Grey Cups since the Bombers last won. While that's 2 more than the Bombers it is still less than the average. BC, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal have all won more Cups since 1990 than the Riders. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
