Hahahaha. No way, Jose. It's an historical phenomenon that goes way back, even further back than 1989 and that silly "excessive fan noise" rule the NFL enforced briefly. A home team could get penalized 5 yards or a loss of time out if the fans got so loud the visiting offense couldn't communicate.

At that time, I was in the house band at a Seattle TV station and we made a music video to protest that travesty. (Warning: 80's hairstyles content) Those were the days my friend. Anyway, that's me on bass, sporting the scruffy little hipster chin beard.
