I also heard that crowd sounds for a movie -- maybe Spartacus, that'd make sense -- were taped in Spartan Stadium. As the story goes at halfime they had the crowd roar in certain ways to fit the script.  |
You are correct sir:
Spartacus (1960) - Trivia
The sound of the crowd cheering "Spartacus! Spartacus!" was actually recorded at a football game in Spartan Stadium, home of the Michigan State University Spartans in East Lansing, Michigan.
