They had a mercifully brief rule change where fan noise created a five-yard penalty and a loss of timeout in 1989. I remember the 49ers complaining about the Kingdome noise in the preseason and Seattle losing all three timeouts for the half as a result.
I think it was a Rams-Giants game the season prior which necessitated that noise penalty, specifically adding to Jim Everett’s reputation of being ‘soft.’
