Many people talked about Sunday’s Super Bowl being one of if not the loudest Super Bowl they had ever seen. Typically the game is very corporate so you don’t have many “real” fans there to cheer. It sounded like some fans got in and they wanted to cheer on their Seahawks. Wes Welker had this to say in the MMQB:
“That’s the way the start of any Super Bowl is: It’s going to be loud,” Welker said, according to Greg A. Bedard of theMonday Morning Quarterback. “The fans are going to be yelling. They don’t really know why they’re yelling — it’s just the start of the Super Bowl. We didn’t prepare very well for that, and it showed.”
I’m surprised that the Broncos didn’t seem to think there was any chance that Seahawks fans would show up. John Fox even admitted that the piped in crowd noise at practice was much lower than a typical game away from home.
This just furthers the point that Seattle didn’t just outplay the Broncos but they outcoached them as well.
