Does St. Louis...

have the worst home field in football?

Has anyone seen a stadium that is either as quiet as the dome or as loud for the other team?

Take into account three variables

The Rams are bad.
Chicago is 5 hours away
St. Louis fans took advantage of an opportunity to sell their tickets to an eager Bears fan base.

Keep in mind, the Dome is sold out. It's not like the Bears fans just called up and ordered tix.

Plus, the Rams are bad.

The Rams are far from bad...

They just aren't great.

They still have an A+ passing game and and a A running game. Their achilles heel is the run defense and as of tonight, the special teams.

You still think the Bears are who you thought we were?

Even last week...

when the despised Cardinals came to town and the Rams had a chance to beat a 2-win team to move into wild card contention at 6-6, the place sounded like a morgue.

That's why I'm wondering, as someone who's never been to the dome, is it because of where the networks place their microphones, is it the acoustics of the place...

Almost every other game I watch on TV there's some level of stadium buzz in the background. I watched the Texans-Raiders game a couple weeks back (I live out west), and even that had fairly normal crowd noise.

In St.Louis you can literally hear individual conversations...
