I'm good with ending the artificial fan noises, I find it distracting, because it's just not the same.

I like it personally. It hasn't been overdone IMHO, but I can understand why some don't like it.

Edit: Not like listening to 'real crowds' is never annoying (SHOOT THE PUCK SHOOT THE PUCK SHOOT THE PUCK SHOOOOOOOOOOT THHEEEEEEE PUCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!)

If they want to use it, then they should use it properly. There isn't a massive goal celebration after every goal. Give the home team their experience and ambience then. If a team sucks over a period or the visiting team scores I want to hear boos.

They're trying to make it into a video game.

They should also have brought in the home ice PA announcers for every team's home games.

I agree, Tim. Army did him a solid. We see those stories and polls how Army is tough For agents to deal with, but he definitely did Fabbri a favor.
