So yesteday was my first game at the Superdome. I have been to quite a few LSU games including Florida and TX A&M. Nothing touched the loudness of the game last night. I couldn't hear anything. It was so awesome. Did that touch the loudest its been in the Superdome? Might be a dumb question but just wondering.

It was pretty nuts in the 4th quarter. When they wouldn't throw the flag for intentional grounding on Kaep, people were going nuts. There was a 2 minute TV timeout and we didn't stop the entire time.

Definitely one of the better crowds I've been a part of.

It was one of the louder games. Especially in the 4th quarter.

The NFC championship was like the 4th quarter or louder the whole game from what I remember.

I'm just glad I got to be a part of this game. Figured it wasn't on the level of the playoffs. I probably dislike the 49ers the most so it was nice to win.

It gets louder than Tiger Stadium for sure. I don't know anybody who doesn't agree with this. But it is a dome.

Considering the opponent and how that game in 2011 and 2012 went, I'd have been screaming my arse off too.

Not THE loudest, but certainly towards the top, the dome was rocking yesterday. It got really loud towards the end of the game, and kap was rattled by the noise all game.

We single-handily caused 2 or 3 timeouts from what I could tell. Wish SEA was at home that game would be insane.

Fox did a great job of having the crowd noise come across - it sounded intense. I would actually say that game was more intense than the divisional playoff game would start out being (if its Detroit for exampke) bc of our recent history with SF.

I'm pretty sure my ears are still ringing. The end of the game was ridiculous how loud it was. Pretty cool seeing the decimal reader go above 117 and above 115 quite a bit.
Crowd was for sure an impact

Makes me remember the old NFL rule from the late 80s where they would penalize us for being too loud in the dome. I can remember games getting delayed for 5 to 10 minutes while they tried to quiet us down.

Troy and Joe are godawful. I really wish we could just listen to synched up radio calls with our TV.

I think they're fine. Troys a little conservative with fourth-down and short decisions; it's my only gripe

Definitely the best crowd of the season. i think Carolina could be better if we keep winning and they stay hot that showdown could be epic. Dome was electric and the Defense feasted on that energy. great crowd good job to all those there.
