Suggestion: Any time the ball is in play but there's no organized chant there should be just a standard noise for everyone to make.

"AHHHHHH" or "OHHHHHH" or something like that doesn't take a lot of voice if everyone is doing it, but it can make a huge difference in the ambiance.

But the thing is Roy told us to do the OHHHHH chant when the opposing center has the ball only. And when the opposing center passes the ball be quiet. He also told us to be quiet when he has the ball.

True. Words of Roy at the autograph session. He thought the "ahhing" when the opposing guy had the ball would screw up the opposing center's concentration and play a little mind game on him.

We could try the constant hum thing and see how it goes when Roy isn't in the game.

I guess I was hoping Area 55 would try to help everyone on the Pacers, when so far it seems very Roy focused. I know he bought the tickets and all, but Squad 6 doesn't only do things for Bogut.

I know you guys have caught a lot of flack so far, and you're all still trying to get on the same page, so I'm really not trying to criticize and feel free to completely ignore this, but I think it would be helpful to make noise all the time.

And research Section 8 of the Chicago Fire, they are the best pro fan section in America.

Well then I guess I can't hear them then?

Like I said I know you guys are getting it from just about every angle right now, and you can get better. I'm not trying to be an a**hole here.

I'm telling you SECTION 8 is the group to emulate. They are awesome. Look up their youtube videos. I've talked with ElPacero about this. They are incredible.

I know soccer fans get away with more, and are generally more passionate as a whole, but there are a lot of chants and things like that to take away.

One of my favorite ones they do is just "We love our Fire!" in kind of a sing-songy way. I think "We love our Pacers!" could be just as good, plus they do a chant where they go "Chi (Chee)-ca-go" and they keep chanting that, it sounds great, and I think you could do something similar with IN-DI-ANA

Why is everyone saying yell the whole game. You should of heard el pacero's vocie last night it was shot. You try yelling the whole game it isnt that easy. We need to make improvements. but yelling the whole game isnt the best option.

Re: Area 55 season thread for 2010-11

I didn't say to "yell" the whole game. I just made suggestions of two chants/songs to do while there is silence that needs to be filled, that isn't specifically yelling.

If everybody is making the same noise at the same time no single person needs to abuse their voice.

I'm a musician. I've sung in bars, I've done 12 hour gigs on St. Patrick's Day. I have experience. The voice is like any other part of your body, use it right and you'll be fine.

The best advice I can give, and give it over and over, is that you can never drink too much water before and during heavy vocal activity.

Re: Area 55 season thread for 2010-11

That's why I think adding stuff into fill the dead time, and stay interested is key.

Also in Section 8, they have two guys (they usually swap with two new guys at half time) who have their backs to the game, stand on a platform in front of the section, and lead the chants. These guys are freakin' intense I have seen them in person. They are chugging water during breaks and never stop. I really can't even stress how awesome Section 8 is in person, they never quit, and they do a good mix of simple and complex chants that break the monotony of Saying something clap, clap, clap Saying Something again clap, clap, clap.

Different cadences are important too.
