From folks that were there?


Seemed loud on TV and the commentators made note of it being loud several times. Playoff game loud?

Yah it was a good crowd - we sit 45 yard line in club level so it's tough to gauge how it is up high sometimes. The towels looked cool tho

Said 108 on the decibel meter at one point during the game. It was loud, and my voice hurts.

First drive Atlanta had was about as loud as it could get. It was noticeable that they couldn't hear anything on the field. They were on no snap count and our linebackers knew it. They were jumping through their O-line almost as soon as it was snapped. As the game went on it wasn't as loud but still louder than it's been all year, except maybe parts of Panthers game.

It was damn loud for most of the game. The highest I saw on the decibel meter iirc was 109.4. It was hovering around 102-104 pretty regularly at one point. Glad I went!

How pissed were the people in the dome today before the game as they get ready for payback.

Loudest Game I can recall. maybe louder than the NFC Championship Game.

3rd game I went to this year and all year long the crowd has been right there. I have gotten the feeling that after 3 straight 7-9 seasons and then getting back to 2-2 that these fans know that the chances to have good teams especially with Brees may be coming to an end so there is almost a will among the fans to bring them along.

Like the fans are not going to let them down and are going to be there all game if they need to be. Nice that we managed to keep the Dome Field Advantage back this season at 7-1.

The crowd was definitely played a factor today too. Especially that first drive. They looked confused on what their playcall was a handful of snaps.

The loudest Ive heard the dome period. The decibel reader was on all game and consistently hovered between 100-106.

The crowd noise was impressive even through the tv. Camera was shaking a lot. Best part was it never tampered off, loud as hell from beginning to end. That's what home field advantage looks (and sounds) like.

That's why a home game during playoffs will be important.

One of the best crowds I’ve seen in the Dome. Yelling started as soon as they huddled and kept going until after the ball was snapped. And I wasn’t a fan of the white towels, but it actually looked really good when everyone was waiving them.

Loud and rockin’ for sure.

I was a loud Dome but, no way the loudest. Falcons(2006), Eagles playoffs, Lions playoffs, and several other big games have been louder or easily as loud. Many other games as loud. I can recall in 1991 when the Saints shut out the Vikings in what felt like a revenge game for the 1987 season playoff loss, that the Dome was loud and I left with ears slightly ringing. There was one play where Hebert threw an awesome block on a D-lineman or LB springing our RB and the stadium went wild. I think he lost teeth when he did that.

IM hoarse today. I think I did see it break 108 once but what was great was how sustained it was. No matter the down situation, besides when people were getting back to their seats after each quarter, it was loud each D play. Never went back to watch the game to see announcers harp on us throwing them off rythym but on the 4th down stops and that 1st & 40 it definitely felt like a lot of fan impact plays.

Fans did a great job. Most full I've seen the dome at the start of a game in a few years
