As for minny's new stadium....it's a place to play football, not a fashion show. Geez, sometimes these owners get too fancy with their thinking.
gonna laugh when their owner gets indicted, their satdium deal falls through, and the team moves to LA in 2016

Thanks for the explanation Psinex. Cool stuff.
I think its looks terrible.
This...
It the new trend of stadiums that look like Modern Art and in 10 years will look like an old iMac...trendy and completely out of style.

Actually they had a cam during a re-entrance from commercial with shots of the current stadium construction.
Teams known for having loud home stadiums: Chiefs, Seahawks, Saints, Lions, Vikings, Falcons, Cardinals, Cowboys, Texans, Colts. Total combined Super Bowl wins in the last 18 years....2.

That place is going to be loud as hell.
Maybe all that glass will cave in Metrodome style all over a Viqueens-Packers game
How nice .. it looks so bright in there with all that glass and sunlight coming in. Oh..wait .. this will be in Minnesota. So it will be covered with snow or dark and raining out 80% of the time. Dumb asses.

The stadium is not designed to keep sound in. Apart from the green roof luxury box side, it's completely wide open like a bowl. And you know that the luxury boxes are not going to be cheering loud.
As an audio engineer, I can tell you that the best way to reduce the amount of sound reflections in a studio is by building walls that are at different angles. So if anything, the new stadium looks like it was built to reduce sound. If the architects were trying to trap the sound inside, they wouldn't have had those big plaza openings on the north and south side of the stadium.
The big hoods on the top of C-Link trap the sound and reflect it back down towards the field. The crowd shouts
and makes noise, the sound travels straight across to the other side of the stadium, it keeps bouncing around
from one side to the other.
I'm gonna laugh if the new stadium is hella loud
The one thing we have going for us is that we are positioned on the side where the suites are and the opponent is positioned where about 70% of the fans are and I think that could play into our favor if they use their lungs. Our visitors could have about 45000 fans screaming on their backs and I would hope some of that noise would reflect off the suite tower but I am sure our audio expert would discount that as minimal if any effect. I do think having the majority of the fans to the opponent's back might play a part though
