There isn't any noise pumped into the Clink, once you actually go and see the fans you will understand why.  It was already investigated several times.

 

During any opponent offensive series, there will hardly be anyone sitting and all will be yelling, but in a manner that the noise doesn't lapse.  No chant, no rhythm, just constant noise from 1st down until the offense is on the field.   Small break between plays, but regardless of the score the fans will not quit.  In some places the crowd can be taken out of the game, that won't happen here.  There just isn't any other stadium that I have been to where the fans just never quit, with everyone being involved.

 

It will seem every bit as loud as a dome at times, but whatever it seems like, no one can hear on the field and that is all that matters.  The only person that seems to think it isn't really loud is Pam Oliver, but she is a Niner fan.  Heh, she will be there today, maybe we can troll her with noise.

It's a good idea with how thy set the stadium up and with aluminum benches and whatnot. It gets their fans more involved as they buy into the whole thing but they are not louder humans than anywhere else in the world.

I was watching NFL Network and one of the analyst was saying that the stadium is loud and explained that he was at the stadium before a game once and the ground crew was doing some pressure washing and it was louder than he had ever heard a pressure washer and he could barely hear anything even then.

It is something I wish they would incorporate here (highly doubtful though) but by no means are they magically louder than everyone else in North America.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
