If what we were told is accurate, that makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever...from a profitable business sense to that of creating additional crowd noise. The Chiefs organization knows the importance of crowd noise & encourage such in various aspects, including asking for it on the big screens.
I could be wrong, but I doubt Clark likes all those empty seats either, from a crowd noise aspect to how it appears on TV...far from appearing as a sold out stadium! I know last season they moved people from upper to lower to make it appear on camera that the stadium was more full than it was...so appearances must be important! It's more than likely not possible to make a change this year, as whatever policy in place is what people were told they were getting when buying those club seats.
I look for changes to be made of which will put people in those club level seats next season! Possibly they can offer Club Level ST holders an option, but require them to choose inside or outside seating at least a week or two prior to a game date. Seats of those choosing indoor then released for sale to the general public.
As far as how loud it was...we were in upper level the 49er's game, so maybe it sounded louder down below? I didn't think the 49er's game was as loud as MNF was, but at MNF I was in lower level. Also, Tammie & I sat in 3 various upper level areas...as there were empty seats, or no shows...so we moved around some. In each area I noticed many who weren't making noise at all, appeared to be emotionless zombies. Some not making noise were wearing Chiefs gear, but some were wearing normal clothes.
I simply can't for the life of me comprehend how any one can be a Chiefs fan, go to a game and sit lifeless. Heck, I noticed several not even moving when we scored! WEIRD!! Totally WEIRD!!
