When did they start using the siren?


About the third home game after the equally annoying train whistle got the boot.

If they want to use something aggravating like that, why not a steamboat whistle? At the least, it's a New Orleans sound. Not that I support it at all. I wish they'd cut out 50% of the noise crap that gets played.

I watched almost all of the Panthers game and at some point they did stop using the siren in the 4th quarter.

But it was to the point where it was getting comical - just spitballing but the Panthers must have converted on something like 8 out of the 10 third downs that the sirens were played.

Anecdotally, I remember a few times where there was a delay before the 3rd down play - maybe a referee verifying something, a reset of the ball, or a timeout, and so the siren played 2 or 3 times before the actual play. And the Panthers would always convert.

The siren has become a doomsday signal - I'd be shocked if it appears for the Atlanta game at all.
