Gopher Stadium Oops -- Noise A Problem To Residents Miles Away
I'm in Minneapolis on business and heard on NPR that there is a noise problem with the new stadium. University of Minnesota stadium's play-by-play reaches ears 2 miles away in St. Anthony Park
"I go to the back deck to sit, and I can still hear and understand that man's hollering. The sound of the crowd is not so bad ... only occasionally a low roar, one could work on imagining that it is the sound of the sea, but this loud, yelling man ... we must stop him," wrote St. Anthony resident Sue"
Other than that, everything is OhKay!

i can hear high school football announcers from like 3 miles away. it's not that big a deal. someone should tell that bitch to get over it or move.

On Friday nights I hear the band, the announcers and the crowd of high school games from my back porch. It is not a big deal at all and I kind of enjoy it because it reminds me of one of my favorite things--college football. This old douche needs to get over it.

Sign him up to direct the Michigan Marching Band!

Pack up your stuff, we're going back to the Dome.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:53 PM ^
I wonder why it wasn't a problem at the MetroDome???
September 15th, 2009 at 11:05 PM ^
According to >CBS College Sports says they still play in the Metrodome.

So this is a problem for 3.5 hours/day on 8 out of 365 days of the year? That leaves 8732 out of 8760 hours of peace and quiet per year for those douches.

And how many times does this guy sit on his deck in Minnesota in the balmy month of November?
September 15th, 2009 at 11:21 PM ^
this year, captainlonghair.

Correction. 8735.5 hours.

Dem announcers up der in dat stadium, dey got to tone it down dontcha know. I can lower de flaps on my tuque when de cold rolls in an' cover my ears, but its still too warm fer dat.
Still can't believe dat dey built de place outdoors like dat. Dey'll be whippin' shitties on the field come November.
September 15th, 2009 at 11:50 PM ^
Man, you could have at least put a [/talks-like-a-minnesota-asshole] tag on that. It was so hard to read, if it weren't for the "dontcha know," I'd though that was your normal typing.
September 16th, 2009 at 12:02 AM ^
At "whippin' shitties" .... :-)

It means he is doing dougnuts in a car. Yes, I speak 'sconie.
September 16th, 2009 at 8:55 AM ^
...and be sure to put a "lol" after any sarcastic comment or joke...
September 16th, 2009 at 8:58 AM ^
A true comedian doesn't laugh at his own jokes.
September 16th, 2009 at 1:25 AM ^
Sorry man, had to dock you a point for saying tuque's (yooper: chook) had flaps. That's a stormy kromer (you hoser).
September 16th, 2009 at 9:37 AM ^
I do know the difference between a stormy kromer and a tuque. I figured I'd already have enough people scratching their heads with "whippin' shitties". No sense further confusing things.
By the way, you live up near Houghton? I've been to The Library a couple of times -- they had an awesome sandwich, but don't remember what they called it. Love the Finnish pancakes at the Soomie Kitchen, too.
September 16th, 2009 at 1:26 PM ^
I went to school in Ho-town and am still stuck in the UP until I can find a job. The Library has some pretty good food but I was always fond of the Ambassador's chicken pizza (and after a couple pitchers of KBC blonde).

Too Canadian, lacks references to obscure Scandinavian foods. 7/10.
September 16th, 2009 at 9:32 AM ^
I have listened to the game from the front porch many times. And I don't live all that close to the stadium. I'll have to try and see if there is a difference now this Saturday.

for some reason I thought they had another year or two. but maybe that was just until we play in it.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:28 AM ^
2012 is when we play at The Bank (as they call it).
