Use of artificial crowd noise

[edit]

Shortly after the end of the post-season the Falcons were investigated by the League for pipingartificial crowd noise during opponent's offensive snaps at home games during the2013 season and the 2014 season.[6] Team owner Arthur Blank stated that he was "angry and embarrassed" about the allegations, and has allegedly acknowledged the validity of the accusations, stating "I think what we've done in 2013 and 2014 was wrong", and promising to cooperate fully with the investigation.[7] The NFL fined the Falcons $350,000 and took away a fifth round draft pick in the2016 draft as punishment.[8]
