In what seems to be the newest fad at NFL stadiums, the New Orleans Saints will have an official from Guinness World Records on hand Sunday to measure the crowd noise level at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

New Orleans host the Carolina Panthers Sunday, a team who they share the NFC South lead with. The Saints are hoping the crowd noise can help control Cam Newton and the Panthers offense, the way the Seahawk faithful did to the Saints a week ago.

“The fan that really understands they can impact the outcome of a game, that’s pretty powerful," coach Sean Payton told ESPN. So let’s find out who’s got the loudest stadium in the NFL. There’s only one way to do it. See how we measure up.



“Anything we can do to make that environment an advantage for us and difficult for our opponent -- and especially in a big game like this, you know, we’re gonna lean heavily on our home crowd. They’ve been outstanding, and I’m sure tomorrow night it’ll be exciting. And I’m anxious to see what they register, however that’s measured. That’s a big plus for us.”

New Orleans currently is 6-0 at home this season. It has yet to be confirmed if the representative from Guinness will stay in town till Wednesday and head over to the Pelicans game to take a measurement.
