It's suppose to be one of the loudest stadium in the US. It has to have some effect on the Rams No Huddle Offense. The Rams have been very effective when going to the no huddle offense but, they have to call plays at the line of scrimmage. The Viking fans could be ready to set the record against the Rams Sunday in a playoff atmosphere as two 7-2 division leaders face off Sunday.
How much will this affect the Rams offense?
Will McVay be burning timeouts early?
Thoughts.

New Vikings stadium may be too loud for the home team’s liking

The brand-new, fixed-roof stadium that supposedly pushes visiting-team crowd noise back to the visiting team’s sideline also is creating some problems for the home team. For the details, let’s defer to the guy who always calls it like he sees it: Vikings guard Alex Boone.
“It’s loud, for some reason, in the stadium,” Boone said, via ESPN.com. “There’s a lot of times where we can’t hear the center. We could barely hear the snap count today a couple times — a couple false starts, because guys wouldn’t know when the snap was going. I’m not saying it’s the fans’ fault, but I’m just saying, it would be nice if they would shut the f–k up a little bit.”
Savvy football fans usually understand the etiquette, but on the first official game at a new stadium against an arch-rival, it’s likely hard to contain their excitement.
“When the defense was up, it was phenomenal,” Boone said in comments provided by the team (comments that didn’t include his four-letter flavor). “When the offense is up, shut up; just shut up. I can’t say it any simpler than that. It’s starting to screw up a little bit.”
Eventually, the Vikings fans will be loud only when they are supposed to be. If not, Boone will remind them.

...........Right now, the Kansas City Chiefs fans hold the record for the loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium with 142.2 decibels. ABC News wanted to remind people that approximately 140 decibels is the level of sound of a jet taking off.
Thankfully, the free earplugs being distributed should help fans worried about short-term damage. However, those only attending a couple of games may not have to worry about the intense noise in small doses unless they are experienced frequently.
“The thing to remember with noise exposure is it’s cumulative,” Dr. David Geddes explained to ABC News. “So after several decades of attending concerts, football games, you can wind up with a permanent, noise-induced hearing loss.”..........
