Opposing teams will get an early reminder of just how loud the Mercedes-Benz Superdome can get.
Hanging from the walkway between the Dome and the Smoothie King Center before the New Orleans Saints preseason game Friday (Aug. 17) was a newly-posted black banner with gold lettering that read in all caps, "ON BEHALF OF 70,000 PROUD FANS, WELCOME TO YOUR LAST FEW MOMENTS OF SILENCE."
The Superdome has long been thought to be one of the louder stadiums in the NFL.
That it's one of the few remaining true dome stadiums with a permanent roof helps amplify the crowd noise.
