Yes this was happening from 1983-1988 stopping play because of loud fans. After that they just let them go without stopping play. It comes down to poor sportsmanship, where fans drown out the offense for fear of their D getting beat. Saints fans have done it for years.

Wrong. If the crowd makes the game uncompetitive, start penalizing the home team 15 yards each time, then start taking away timeouts, then eject players one by one. Time to enforce rules and make them pay. Those aren't fans - they're lazy scum.
