It was the low air bag ceiling/roof. With the roof open, LOS isnt as noisy compared to when it is closed. Ive been to several state football finals in old dome, and it was loud, just the lower bowl open to fans. Throw in the train traffic at the south end and it was an old cement rattletrap. Throw in 50;000 fans and you couldnt here the person next to you on 3rd down plays. That roof, held tight with air pressure was shaped like a parabolic mirror, or lens. It would deflect any noise back down to the field.
