Qwest Field: Loudest field in the NFL?

Watching the game Sunday, I commented more than once to my buddies about how fuggen loud the stadium was and how non-stop the loudness was. It wasn't just at key moments, the crowd brought the noise throughout (even louder than the Broncos, Fireball! :lol:). Well, I read the following from Ogunleye today,

Ogunleye said after the game that he felt that Qwest Field is five times louder than any other NFL stadium.

and elsewhere,

Seattle is by far one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. The Bears haven't won a game in Seattle in a very long time. Credit to the Seahawks and their fans. They gave us their best effort.

That is the loudest stadium I have ever been in. You could hardly hear yourself think.

So, what do y'all think? I've not yet been to Qwest- I went to the old King Dome (gah, what a dump that place was) back in the 90's. Is it the loudest field in the NFL? Further, does that give Seattle one of the most formidable homefield advantages? I'll give you that places like Chicago, Green Bay, New England, Buffalo, etc have a likelihood for advantage due to weather, but weather is unpredictable, inconsistent and can just as often work against both teams (Miami on MNF, I think, a few years ago during the monsoon comes to mind). Fans like that can be counted on...

Your thoughts?

It's partly the architecture accompanied by sea level air and very, very passionette fans. The place is built like two big speakers facing eachother, way fuging loud. I honestly don't know how the Bears even heard the snap count(3 false starts was minimal compared to the 35 they should've had....unreal noise!) it was eerily quiet after that last defensive start.

Actually it was silenced in January 2008 - for good.

IDK how loud Lucas is - since they played both games in SD last year.

Forgot the name of the new place and was too lazy to look it up :lol:

I don't think it's technically been proven that the Colts pipe in extra crowd noise, but ya know... :sosp:

definitely designed for loud, yup...and it works! Everytime there is a false start on the opposition, they post the new number on the scoreboard and the place seemingly gets even louder.

And Darth...I was there, but I was in and out too.....NFL Canada had a tailgate going on up the street that I had a pass for and Mack Strong also had a tailgate in the north lot.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
