Not in the game but I was there.
In reference to 9-9-1.
This is a NF example.
In the second round of playoffs this year a visiting team known as the engineers had a train whistle attached to the stands on their side. Everytime they scored a fan would blow the whistle. Later in the game with the game well out of hand they started blowing the whistle every time the opossing offense came to the line and started calling their signals. The R informed the coach it would not be tolerated, coach took no action. The next time the R flagged for UC, head coach. An assistant immediately went into the stands and requested they not continue. The next play same thing. The R went to inform the HC he was ejected, discussion, the HC went into the stands and physically removed the whistle. Team penalized for UC but coach not ejected.
No more whistle, though.
