One thing that stands out in the Superdome is that it gets loud at the right time.

At an MSU game, it gets loud. But only as the offense is walking up to the line of scrimmage. The loudness is effective but not as much as it should be.

At the Saints game, it gets loud as soon as the opposing offense is beginning to huddle. If loudness is supposed to disrupt their communication and concentration, start it at the huddle and carry through to the snap.

I have no idea why this is so hard for our fans to understand.

It's just a lot more work to yell for the extra 15-20 seconds. Now if you're ringing your cowbell, that's another story.

They wait until the qb is under center or about to begin his snap count before they start making noise.

I noticed this too. They don't start yelling or ringing until the quarterback comes to the line. This could be easily resolved by some Mullen/Byrne tweets and just a little education through PR / Marketing channels (video board, flyers, social media).
