🏈 Continuing our discussion(s) on metal detectors at BDS-- Should security confiscate cow bells if they are detected when fans are entering the stadium?

shows no artificial noisemakers on the list

Looks like a cowbell to me.

 

[doemasters]

yep and they should not allow that in if I can't bring in a camera that has a lens bigger than 6 inches

 

[ChemE]

Hell yeah, they are illegal and annoying as all get out.

@OldPlayer, Do you think/consider the ringing of cow bells as fan noise or fake noise? If you think it's fake noise, and that's not ok, it would seem to me you care about the cow bells.

~ a little confused.

Cowbell's are fan noise. Artificial, pumped in noise via the speakers is fake noise (which I believe is illegal in all conferences). Some schools hand out those blow up sticks:

Real fans don't need gimmicks.

@OldPlayer, I see a pretty big difference in the fan "bang sticks" and the bells. Those sticks sound more like an amplified clap to me.

Remember when they had the "elephant noise" things that they sold at Legion Field? Those got outlawed pretty quick

i really hoping that there will be no need for any cowbells to be "rung" past the opening kick...

@OldPlayer, I see a pretty big difference in the fan "bang sticks" and the bells. Those sticks sound more like an amplified clap to me.

For a player on the field perspective, noise is noise. If half the opposing crowd had the cowbells and the other half had the bang sticks, it just comes over as noise.

Can't be to safe these days.

But why does Miss. St. get to bring in those Bell! I know that the SEC said it OK, but why did it become OK?

Confiscate them and shove them up the owner's ass.
