Some clips from my sound research at the MCG stadium in Australia. Reports that the Whiners have a large fan base in Australia. The expectation is that the Rams will be playing as the visiting team. They will have to deal with the visiting-team crowd noise level. This is par for the course for the Rams. I hope McVay has worked on getting play calls in faster to avoid unforced errors resulting in early timeouts and delay of game penalties. The good news is it should be much better than playing the Hags in Seattle.

PEAK RECORDED DECIBELS
[127.0 dB] Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
[137.6 dB] Lumen Field (Seattle)
[142.2 dB] Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City) ★ World Record

1. The Decibel Gap (Why 15 Decibels is Massive)
At first glance, the jump from the MCG’s 127 dB to Arrowhead’s 142.2 dB might look small, but decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale
. Every increase of 10 decibels represents a sound that is twice as loud to the human ear. [1, 2]
  • Arrowhead’s record is nearly three times louder to human perception than the MCG’s loudest moment.
The Verdict
The MCG creates a beautiful, inescapable, and massive wave of sound because it is an uninterrupted circular bowl. However, because NFL stadiums like Arrowhead and Lumen Field were specifically designed tightly around a narrow rectangular field to weaponize fan noise, their field-level intensity is much more piercing, sharp, and disruptive to football communication. [1, 2, 3]

Yes it can get very loud for an AFL game but with much of the crowd being first time NFL watchers, including myself, it may not be as loud. Me and my boys will be making a lot of noise for the RAMS !! The oval ground may play a part too, as you mentioned it is designed for AFL and Cricket not rectangular sports. Am expecting to be in the minority as there are many whiners fans down here but Rams are definitely gaining traction. The NFL allocation of the Rams as one of Australia's teams has definitely increased our popularity.
 
Didn't this get tried already with abysmal results?
Didn’t he gain a few pounds since then? I’m not saying he bulked up but…. I thought the problem was he almost immediately got injured when we tried it before. He’s maybe a bit wiser now. I’m game to see what he has.

Even with a few pounds gained, I'm scared to see him get his thin frame splattered to pieces. Tutu has never been hard to bring down either. I suppose since he's way down on the WR depth chart thats why they may wanna try, I'm just not all that encouraged by the last time he did it.

I might add Boston's debut or Frampton Comes Alive, but so many great ones to choose from in that era.
 
I expect Shanahan to go with a lot of hurry up. They would likely do it when one or both of Garrett & Donald are off the field to keep them from getting both back on the field. Also, when they are on the field, a hurry up package with runs & quick passes to wear them down since they missed a lot of camp.
