From Fred Smoot's Q&A on the Redskins site:
Q: What did you think of the FedExField crowd?
A: "I loved the crowd out there. The people of D.C. really affected this game. The 12th man was awesome out there today. I love it when FedExField is like that. If we can keep that going every game, we're going to have a lot of fun this year."
Sitting in the nosebleeds, it's hard to tell how much noise is actually reaching the field. When I got home, I watched some of the game on TV (as I had recorded it) and the crowd sounded really loud. Anybody who was there and near the field have an opinion?
I hope Smoot wasn't just being overly exuberant in his description.

I was at the game and it was the greatest feeling ever to be part of that. I did not see 1 empty seat. It was so loud that Jon Gruden said that it affected their offense. The 12 man is back. RFK 2004

I was in the 200's and it was the loudest I have ever heard it...we still have a long way to get to RFK status....I can remember being at RFK and seeing the top level shake and not being able to hear my dad right beside me, it was loud yesterday...but not as intimidating as RFK

I went once in the 80's, and the woman who invited me had a ridiculously loud cow-bell. By the 4th quarter she was waiving this thing inches from my head, and I could'nt hear it over the roar of the crowd.
