Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

The World Cup has given me an idea that perhaps there should be an additional noise maker we should employ at home games to distract opponents like the Viqueens. What you ask? Why VUVUZELA's, of course!


We could certainly make black and gold ones. Strato, can you blow one of these and play "the Saints are Marching in"?

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I hate those things and it would be awful to hear that crap in the NFL.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Please NO!!! By all the stars in heaven, do not taint the wonderful atmosphere that is the Superdome with those dull, monotone instruments of ear-torture! They are the most awful things ever and far from adding to atmosphere, they take it away by being all you can hear. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! Atmosphere is made with people. It wouldn't even be so bad if they played some sort of tune, but they don't. By my post you may have guessed that I am not too keen on them.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I hear ya ... but instead of screaming our lungs out, it'd be easier to make noise with these things while Brett is attempting an audible or something..... the Vikings' home field IS notorious for an amplification system intended to make additional noise to affect an opponent. It'd be another home field advantage tool.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

No way a vuvu-whatever would survive in a city with so much rich musical heritage. I'd rather hear more New Orleans Jazz horns -

like Trombone Shorty

Or Rebirth Brass Band

Branford Marsalis

The Dome is already as loud as it needs to be. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I've noticed more and more prominent "new orleans music" being pumped at the dome. And I like it!! It's like our own music/home field adv...

Even the national tv stations are "playing our song" when they cut to commercial.

Nothing is more N.O. than the food, music and culture. And to be able to hear it in the dome is what separates us from team who play crap like "we will, we will ROCK you.." (okay that's old as dirt, but you get the point) :p

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I have one of those things. Kind of hard to learn how to blow correctly.
Imagine if they handed out one to the first 10,000 people at the dome. LOL

They sound like a Hornet's nest and may be better used at the New Orleans Hornets games.

76... is your avatar a brunette? Have her turn over.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

id rather slam my nuts in the door than to hear those things all game long

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I think you're unknowingly making my point. Brett and Jared will hate it even more.... I think FF has a great idea..... hand out 50000 free ones before the game.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Megaphones maybe, but NO vuvawatchamacallits.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

That won't help either...trust me. ;)

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Yea, I can always turn down the sound on my TV. :dunce:



Ok then... We'll have to take her word for it. :doh:

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Damn Ron, you shouldn't talk like that. Do you realize how many men you just put on the floor, curled up in the fetal position, reeling from the percieved pain that you just described?

Come to think about it, that would just about be the same as 50,000 vuvuzelas at a game.

I've had to listen to them at our Mardi-Gras parades up here in Shreveport for years, and I hate those b******ds.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

We can do those "vuvawatchamacallits" too .... Add to them "Down and Distance Girls" .. A complete package of distractions for the opposing team. Maybe Zoey can volunteer for that!

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Now if Brett and Jared can't be heard, neither can Vilma and Sharper. Can the VuVu and let's stick with the VooDoo.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Hey!! It could happen... :mrgreen:

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I hate it. I used to watch most every game in the World Cup but this time I can't stand it. They should be banned in all sports.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

NO.

I don't even get it, and I am a futbol fan. It's just neutral, white noise. Who are the hurting, helping?

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Ouch! Hahaha!

I say no to the vuvuzelas. They are annoying as hell, and listening to them for five minutes gives me a headache. Imagine the entire game, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my experience. I'll stick to the uninanimous chants of "Finish Strong" and "Who Dat"

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Hell no...

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Those things are dumb, and they make less noise than yelling. The dome won't allow them anyway, so the point is moot.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

They are evil and must be destroyed

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I think 505state is right. You would not be allowed to take those into the dome anyway.

But, if you could take them in, remember it would only be used when the opposition's offence are on the field and not for the whole game as it is in a soccer game.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Those things are too stupid for words, why even bother blowing into something that only the crowd around you can hear unless over 1000 people are blowing them at the sametime?

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I don't know why this is even a discussion. The horns are native to that country/culture. It should stay there. Thats like the South Aficans bringing crawfish to the games... why would they, why should they?

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Drink 6 beers during the game and we will all blow those things like crazy. I would have loved to have had these for the last 5 minutes of the Patriots game...talk about funny.

And yes, I hate the annoying things too, but I see the value.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

You people are way to negative. I want my B&G Vuvuzela to blow at the games.

Make it happen Halo! :bng:

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Not gonna happen. You're screwed...

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Euphoria beat me to it...and I agree and repeat what Euphoria said.

Vuvzelas here at Saints games or ANY where in the NFL, no.
They are native to the people and culture of South Africa.
It was fine there for World Cup.


If any NFLteams'fans think it is all the rage,in fashion,I bet they will have those horns confiscated or be taken out of the stadium.

NFL , or any sports league here is not going to allow them. They are so loud , not the natural voices and cheers of people, and if so used,the whole game will be 2 hours of this noise. Each side's team will blow when their team has possession of the ball. The whole game will be this noise.
Think about that.

No :bng: vuvuzelas!!!

Drunk football fan beats police officer with vuvuzela

A drunken German football fan severely beat a police officer with a vuvuzela horn after the national team’s victory over Ghana on Wednesday night, the authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia said on Thursday.

Most of the celebrations in the town of Dinslaken just north of Duisburg were peaceful after the game, which more than 10,000 people turned out to watch, the Wesel county police department reported.

But at 11:10 pm, one intoxicated 20-year-old fan began taunting a police officer who was directing traffic around a gathering of some 1,500 people.

“As he turned to the 20-year-old, the man suddenly began hitting and kicking the officer,” the statement said. “Furthermore he began pounding the officer’s head with a vuvuzela.”

Can you imagine a bunch of Vikings fans with these in their hands after we squash them like a grape?

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

YES I CAN ..... Since Brett wants to be on the ground again after today's announcement. We can also hand out paper bags to Vikings' fans at the Superdome as they enter and leave the stadium, since we no longer need them.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

But if you car needs an oil change, you get it done. :)

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Saw three people in the ATL airport this week w those vuzu-things. You're crazy if you don't think they'll infiltrate sporting events in the U.S.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

I have no idea what you guys are even talking about. I watched one soccer game about ten years ago, and as long as it was, it's probably still going on right now. To each their own, but to me, soccer blows enough, without the use of a horn.... NFL is the only real football I know. I would rather watch dope smoking, hippie d-bags, play hacky sack in the park.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Come on its a Great IDEA !!!! LOL No its not.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

soccer horns.... hahahahahahahaha....

I think their hilarious. I want one.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

Come to a Mardi-Gras in Shreveport. They've been selling them up here at the parades for years. I hate the d**n things.

Re: Vuvuzela at Saints games
 

They used to sell them back in the late 70's in the Superdome but that wasn't what they were called. I had one, hell it may still be at my parents house. I'll have to look the next time i visit.
