Trevor Lawrence has only been in the NFL for two years. But actually he should know that it’s loud in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium – and the Chiefs fans are extremely resentful.
After all, he has already played for the Chiefs this season.
That’s why it’s clear: In the game of the Divisional Round between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars it should be on Saturday (from 10:25 p.m. live on ProSieben and ran.de) really pop. At least that’s what some home fans have announced.
The loudest stadium in the world
The background: Lawrence dared to question the volume in Chiefs Stadium. More specifically, the title of the loudest stadium in the NFL. This is Arrowhead Stadium, quite officially. Not only that: the 142.2 decibels measured in 2014 made it into the Guinness Book of Records.
“The environment and atmosphere that we’re going to play in is one of the best, if not the best, in the NFL,” Lawrence said, adding, “I can’t imagine it being much louder than ours Fans on Saturday were honestly.” After an impressive comeback and a 31:30 against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Jaguars made it into the divisional round.
While he conceded Saturday was “a little bit different, it’s a playoff game so there’s more at stake, so I expect them to be even crazier and the stadium to be even more crowded.”
But by then he had long since pissed off the Chiefs fans. Jaguars stadium is said to be as noisy as Chiefs home ground? The followers of Patrick Mahomes and Co. take something like that personally.
“I feel sorry for him”
“Poor guy… you can never say the Arrowhead isn’t that loud, not even in the nicest way. Fans will take it as a personal challenge. I feel sorry for him,” one fan wrote on behalf of the audience Twitter.
