Amon-Ra St. Brown anticipates Lions fans to make a lot of noise on Sunday night. Last year, the Detroit Lions did not get to start at home, but in 2024, that will change dramatically.
Ford Field will feature a rowdy atmosphere when the Los Angeles Rams arrive to begin a highly anticipated season. Last season’s highlights included a jubilant fanbase celebrating two home playoff victories.
This year’s environment could be even greater, since excitement for the Lions has been at an all-time high throughout the summer, as evidenced by the NFL Draft.
Jameson Williams, a wide receiver, is not concerned about the atmosphere created by the supporters. In an interview with the media, he expressed confidence that Lions fans will be enthusiastic during the game on Sunday.
“I expect it to be on fire from the start. When the returners take the field 60 and 90 minutes before the game, I expect it to be on fire. I know what they’ll do. I know what our fans will bring. I know the environment they’ll create, so I’m ready for it. “I hope everyone else is.”
Detroit has three of their first four games at home, giving them an opportunity to get out to a strong start. Given the Lions’ imposing home field advantage, an 8-2 record at Ford Field last season, including the playoffs, should be a reasonable expectation.
Amon-Ra St. Brown challenges Detroit Lions fans to break NFL decibel record in Week 1
Williams is excited about the atmosphere at Ford Field, but Amon-Ra St. Brown went above and beyond with a request. “I am excited. Sunday night. I adore primetime games. Last year, Thursday was the season’s first game.
I love that. That was one of my favorite games, and I expect nothing less in Detroit Week 1. My second year, we played the (Philadelphia) Eagles in week one, and it was sold out. The best fans in the world (are) Detroit fans. “I need them to break the decibel record.”
Last year’s Wild Card game against the Rams saw the Lions establish a Ford Field decibel record of 133.6. The NFL’s overall record is 142.2 decibels, established at Arrowhead Stadium in 2014. If Lions fans can be “just” 8.7 decibels louder than the Rams’ playoff game on Sunday night, they will set a new NFL record. St. Brown wants to see the task done.
