jluk Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does that horn sound annoying inside the stadium? I really did not think much of it until I watched NFL rewind and i felt like it didn't match the emotion of the touch down celebration. Thanks and Go Falcons.

D.B.N. Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Once again, let's look for anything to b**** and moan about. My f'ing goodness you people never cease to amaze. Personally, I think the train horn is friggen awesome. It's loud. It's obnoxious. And it's hype. Like our offense - a train that steamrolled right through the opposing defense. I like it.

FalconBlood Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I loved the train horn yesterday. The dumbest thing in the stadium is these falcons logos made of bubbles floating around. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domed Outter Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Whatever, we're going to be hearing it a whole lot! Got used to it, maybe not my cup of tea but if it's a sign of winning then long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3TD Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) You could play a sound of Fran Drescher going "aaaaaaaaaaaah" when we score and I don't think anyone would care... Dammit, I just dated myself, didn't I? Edited September 19, 2017 by B3TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sicairos Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I noticed it during the game and was also wondering what everyone else though about it. Personally I thought it was annoying. Then I thought about how frustrated I'd get being the opposition having to hear that thing after every touchdown. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeetbird Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I could hear it coming through my TV and thought...that's new. I aint bothered by it. Better than a panther roar or a viking horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosmith67 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It really helps to know the history of the city you live in or pull for: "The history of Atlanta dates back to 1836, when Georgia decided to build a railroad to the U.S. Midwest and a location was chosen to be the line's terminus. The stake marking the founding of "Terminus" was driven into the ground in 1837 (called the Zero Mile Post)." "During the American Civil War, Atlanta served as an important railroad and military supply hub. (See also: Atlanta in the Civil War.) In 1864, the city became the target of a major Union invasion (the setting for the 1939 film Gone with the Wind). The area now covered by Atlanta was the scene of several battles, including the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the Battle of Atlanta, and the Battle of Ezra Church. General Sherman cut the last supply line to Atlanta at the Battle of Jonesboro fought on August 31-September 1.[21] With all of his supply lines cut, Confederate General John Bell Hood was forced to abandon Atlanta. On the night of September 1, his troops marched out of the city to Lovejoy, Georgia. General Hood ordered that the 81 rail cars filled with ammunition and other military supplies be destroyed. The resulting fire and explosions were heard for miles.[22] The next day, Mayor James Calhounsurrendered the city,[23] and on September 7 Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate.[24][25] He then ordered Atlanta burned to the ground on November 11 in preparation for his punitive march south." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Atlanta Hence the train horn. Some compared the horn to those played at hockey games on social media and while it functionally serves the same purpose hockey tends to use ship/boat horns.

Ej1coop Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I sat in section 217 and didn't think it was to loud or annoying. Section I was in was pretty loud so maybe that took some effect away. I kinda dig the extra effect of the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
