What's the highest you've ever seen the decibel meter get?

It’s fake. It just spits out numbers to generate enthusiasm.

The players don't care as much about the noise as the media makes out but they don't say it. They like to encourage fans to go to games and be passionate but on the field it really is a small issue. The teams can practice for noise and use other methods of communicating.

I wouldn't get too wound up about decibels.

They played that during last week's Panthers game. What a joke. At the time the Dome was half empty and very few of us were paying attention to the game.
