Well he is correct... but touchy for him to be saying!

Saw this article read ignored it. Silly Sam

 

[Jacobarch]

He's not really complaining, i actually agree with him.

 

[socalrams90]

Did you read the article? Sounds true to me.

 

[LesBaker]

You have to admit the irony is hilarious............

 

[Ram65]

No date on the website. If he had mentioned it before the playoff game and made it a rally cry for the fans to support the playoff game that would have been cool. If it just came out no one cares now.

 

[goosekilla]

He said what we are all thinking. Fake news!

I watched the game on t.v. but it sounded louder than any other game this year. I was proud of the fans until I read this , anyone go and have any reviews ?

I don't think it's a stretch to say I don't like ole Stan but it was more in reference to how awful the Coliseum is and how there is no sound focus to the field like other stadiums are than it was about attendance problems. So the volume doesn't get as loud as it did at a place like... say... the Edward Jones Dome when it was called one of the best home field advantages in the NFL over a decade ago... ok yeah, had to get one shot in. But anyway, I've been wondering how the noise level will be in the new stadium and if it was designed at all to take advantage of it like that new place in Minny does. Or if they are more worried about the chic design of their mega suites.

I think the writer is just click whore asshat.
All SK said was acoustics wise, the coliseum isn't a true home field advantage.
And he's correct.

This is what worries me. I have not heard or read anything that mentions the roof as a tool to amplify crowd noise. Everything I've read so far has been about the visual enhancement it provides and the necessity of it to host certain NCAA and Olympic events.

That's because after the Seattle shenanigans where they purposefully designed it to be loud with the construction actually amplifying sounds, it's not against league rules to design features that do that.

It's now considered an unfair advantage. Puts the loudness of KC in perspective because that's basically a bowl.

The ETFE might capture some sound, but it won't reflect as much as a metal roof would. The open sides will let lots of sound out.

Still, it'll be a sunken bowl, so just thinking of basic waveform projection, it should be pretty loud ESPECIALLY down near the field.

It's a shrewd bit of design. Sink the field.

I must have missed the part of the article where he complained about anything.

 

[Ellard80]

In two years we’ll be in a new stadium, and I think we can have a true home-field advantage like a lot of the teams do,’’ Kroenke said, via USA Today Sports. “We don’t really have it now.’’


Stan's savvy excuse of acoustics seems to worked on most of you. This is why stan is so rich.

 

[Corbin]

He’s not complaining. Tried to write a comment on the article but no place to do it to call out his ass for click bait. Must be a bitter STL ex-fan.

In the same article:

"To be clear. Los Angeles Coliseum has not necessarily been a home-field advantage for the Rams. Kroenke might be right in that regard. "

Lmao

Right - when half the stadium was filed with Eagles fans... it MIGHT not be.

Why does metal reflect more than EFTE?

Why does metal reflect more than EFTE?

EFTE is basically a more durable plastic polymer and is less dense than metal. The extra space between atoms works to absorb more of the vibration.
