Ford Field set a new noise volume record in Lions win over the Rams

In an unprecedented event for Ford Field, the Detroit Lions nearly blew the roof off of their downtown home. The Lions playoff win over the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night marked the loudest sound ever measured in Ford Field during a game.

Per MLive’s Kyle Meinke, the crowd volume registered with a decibel level of 133.6. That shattered the old Ford Field record by over five decibels. Meinke notes the volume during the final Jared Goff kneel-down in victory formation was well over the previous decibel level, which was established in Week 2 of this season against the Seahawks.

That decibel level is louder than the Metallica concert in Ford Field, for reference.
