Saints aim for record indoor crowd noise

I realize this is the trend, but to me this reeks of a minor-league baseball publicity stunt
The dome is loud. It was loud enough to lead to TO's and a delay of game with SanFran.
It is loud enough to inspire our team and distract the other. Do we really need to qualify that with some cheesy record?

I am never in favor of following suit and this is no trump.

Some stadiums/domes have an acoustical advantage over others; usually designed with that aspect in mind, same as outdoor theaters.

It doesn't mean those are the loudest fans, it means that is the loudest facility. It also depends on where the decibel level is measured from.

Stadiums have an advantage to domes which is why Tiger Stadium can get to 125-130 and the dome gets around 112-117. Sound waves bounce and it reacts much the same way as turbulent wind or water flow.

irritate the opposing offense and if the QB has to call a time out or gets a delay of game the 12th man is doing its job.

We know we're loud dnt need a record to prove that

Who cares about the noise record? Saints fans and the NFL know the dome is loud, we don't need some stupid noise record to prove to others that the dome is loud

Not that I really care much, but I am kinda surprised that the outdoor record is louder than the indoor record.

Its a power ranking, but with decibels.

I have to admit that as loud as our crowd can get it leaves much on the table. Anywhere I have sat in the Dome, usually in the 100 sections, at least a third of the people sit on their hands when they should be up and yelling. I always turn and try to get everyone up and yelling, but there are always those that just sit there looking like everyone else is crazy. Maybe it is where we sit. I don't know, but maybe if they knew there was a record on the line they would get off theirs asses and make some noise.

The impressive point is that it can still get as loud as it does in the Dome even with the deadbeats.
