10x is an obscenely over exaggerated response. The sound that is reflected back is just the sound that would have otherwise risen out of other open air stadiums. That sound is a fraction of the overall available. The sound source is already pointing at the field of play. No one is turning around to shout into the roof. We are not even talking about a 1x amplification, but really a fractional increase.
Apparently you know more than an architect that worked on the stadium and has worked on many others...
Paul Griesemer, an architect with AECOM, has worked on numerous NFL stadiums and sporting venues, including the redevelopment of Lambeau Field and the post-Katrina renovation of the Superdome in New Orleans. He reflects on the key home-field advantage elements created by the AECOM team that designed Centurylink. “Having the most compressed footprint of any NFL stadium concentrates fan noise. The partial roof shades 70 percent of spectators and reflects noise back onto the field. The steel stands of the ‘Hawks nest,’ the stadium’s signature seating bowl element, amplify foot-stomping.”
