The Detroit Lions will be hosting a huge game on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Nighy Football. It’s so huge that it’s reminiscent of last January’s Divisional round matchup against the Buccaneers.
Lions fans got incredibly loud that night and set the Ford Field decibel record with 134.3. This was a week after they had set a new record against the Rams that beat the previous record set by Lions fans when Ford Field hit 127.5 in Week 2 of the 2023 season.
Sunday could be crazy because everyone knows what is at stake in this game. The winner gets first seed in the NFC and the NFC North crown. So you have to expect that Lions fans are going to be extremely loud.
The current record is held by the Kansas City Chiefs and their fans. They set the record in 2016 with a decibel rate of 142.2 in a game against the Patriots. Lions fans have a very real chance to beat that. We’ll see if they can get those extra eight decibels to get over the hump and get the record. I’m no sound genius, but I think they can do it.
We’ll find out on Sunday. If you’re in attendance and your iPhone notifies you that it’s too loud there, be louder.
