I was at the game today and the RAC was finally the RAC again except for the 1/3 of the student section for football players. Did it seem wild and loud on national TV? We put on a good show in the 2nd half and hoped this came thru on TV.
Crowd Today on National TV

- Start date
Honestly, didn't know part of the student section was roped off. Crowd size looked great and volume was strong in second half.
I am convinced they do something with the microphones to muffle the crowd noise.
Because my daughter kept asking me questions during the game and my ear was cupped right next to her mouth and I could not hear a word she was saying. Then you watch the highlights and the crowd sounds like a low buzzing sound.

It makes sense that the crowd noise is muffled at times, and not for just us
After decades of broadcasting games, many times from the front side rows of arenas, the tv stations have learned what to do in order to have their broadcasters heard
It might be something the broadcasters can control themselves on the floor
If they didn't have it, it would be tough for those at home to listen to, the viewing gets annoying
Radio/tv announcers don't sit courtside at the RAC .They are located in front of 200 seating rows across the court from team seating.
I know, but it was done at other arenas in the past
I am pretty sure the tv stations figured out decades ago that they had to dumb down the crowd noise
I disagree because at certain games in football and hoops it sounds super loud at times.
What I meant is that they probably control it, making it louder or softer when they want
RACmosphere looked and sounded great on TV. When Gavin hit his three-pointer there was a palpable explosion of sound.
Aren't the only microphones/cameras at THE RAC in the press box which is why it almost always sounds a lot quieter than it actually is? With football there's a difference as well, depending on if they're using field mic's or not to capture sound and, IIRC, not all broadcasts do so.
