I think it's the acoustics of a baseball stadium, I am pretty sure the Levi Stadium (hate that name) will be louder as it will be designed to reflect noise back onto the field.
Levi's will have the largest lower bowl in the NFL = most fans closest to the field (like a college stadium)
Projected noise accoustics (green = directly onto field; blue = reflected noise off glass facade of suite tower) :
...caveat is both factors will be dependant on how loud the fans get-- if the demographics of the likely revamped/updated STH's (i.e, there'll be more Silicon Valley/South Bay fans) is anything like that for Sharks hockey game = GOOD chance it'll be loud and improved homefield advantage over the Stick
if its more a yuppie, corporate crowd and a lot of diehard fans are priced out doe..
Where is that screenshot from? Did you make it? Is there an article that goes along with it?
I seriously don't see how the stadium, especially with the open top is going to keep the noise in. All that noise is going to escape through the top and the those two open stadium entrances at the side. Looking at the photos of the Clink that Psinex posted, you can easily see those canopies on the side that help to contain, amplify, and redirect the sound within the stadium. This one has nothing like that. The reason why this stadium could be louder is only because the seats are supposedly closer to the field and the lower seating bowl capacity is huge.
