The guy knows they built a stadium for a small footprint and covered some of it because it rains in Washington and it accidently reflected sound onto the field as well. You keep talking like the Seahawks intentionally asked for a building that would direct the sound onto the field, they didn't, but that is what the ended up with. The Kingdome used to be loud too. It is somewhat accidental design, but mostly smart fans that know how and when to cheer to help their team.

They asked him to design a field that would be really loud. He did. He explained the reasons that it's so much louder than other stadiums by its design... including some happy accidents. ITT, Seattle fans mock the stadium designer and insist that their overwhelming passion is the reason the stadium is so loud. Cwood shakes his head.

Some things about Seattle's crowd noise, as explained by Mike Glennon in the SI article are different -- there's a roar from start to finish when the opposing offense is on the field, no breaks, no break just because it's 1st down and not 3rd down --- that stuff is due to the fans -- but the noise level itself is due in most part to the design --- as explained by its own architect. Could the other stadiums have duplicated the design? Probably.

Where in the article you quoted does it say they asked him to make a loud stadium? He said they asked him to design a good home field advantage. The fact that it directs the sound onto the field was merely an accident in the design that worked out in the Seahawks favor. Clearly comprehension is not your strong suit, but being a butthurt Packers fan is.

OMG... they wanted to create a good home field advantage. You understand what that means, right? It's also just a commonly known fact from other interviews.

When Seahawks’ owner Paul Allen first met with Niemuth, Allen wanted the collegiate, roaring atmosphere he basked in growing up attending games in the University of Washington’s Husky Stadium. Niemuth obliged, bringing a stadium design to the NFL in 2002 that takes the raucousness provided by the fans and accentuates it.

The Niners play the Seahawks in Seattle every year. They know all about the noise. I didn't think the Saints would keep the game as close as they did. On any given Sunday folks.

At least this article supports your theory

Fucking.... what?

moist air carries sound faster than dry air..Seattle weather.....they are near a large body of water as well...water amplifies sound.

Kap and the 9ers know what they are in for. Yah it may be a little louder than the first meeting but a few dBs isn't going to matter at that point.

Seattle is a loud stadium. It's the architecture that's mostly responsible for how loud it is, but Seattle fans are still making that noise every game.

It will be a great game and the atmosphere will be crazy. Couldn't ask for a better NFC Championship game matchup this season, fan bias aside from all teams. Seattle/San Fran, two elite defenses, both division rivals, coaches/fanbases hate each other, and both are good enough to win the SBOWL.

There's no better NFC matchup that could've been offered at the moment.

I get your argument here. Other teams have stadiums next to water too, if dont know if helps the sound carry at all at candlestick. Maybe if the end of the stadium was facing the water by à short distance there may be an effect like that. But with the way that the ends of the field are parallel with the water, there is giant concrète wall of seats, à highway and large port in between the field and the water.

when you play a team twice in their home in the same season you're more prepared and used to the crowd and all of that. If seattle wins it will be because they played better, not because they were at home

Water does carry sound, but wet weather dampens sound.
Nice try.

no, it makes it travel faster. Why argue ? you want every stupid advantage you can think of

Wet weather does not make sound travel faster you dunce! Who the hell told you that?

Sound travels freely over bodies of water because there's nothing obstructing it. That doesn't work when the water is actually in the air! If that was the case the ocean floor would be really fuckin' loud!

Sound does travel faster under water. Rain in the air has no observable effect on the speed sound travels.

 

[Mr. Tacoma]

Unless you're talking about relative humidity. In that case yes, humid air carries sound faster but Seattle isn't humid. At all.

It rains a lot! There's a difference. Rain impedes sound.

Depending on the source! The majority of sound from a sports stadium would reflect off the surface.

Please please PLEASE provide links that states rain would make a sports stadium louder!

 

[NinerSickness]

By the way, it's amplitude that makes sound loud not how fast it's traveling. Infinitesimally faster sound will not make it hit your ears at a greater amplitude by any observable margin.
