one big reason. it's loud. the 49ers struggle playing in domes. in seattle it's louder than a dome. the 49ers might be good but they are not soundproof. the 49ers have given their fans plenty to cheer about this season turning the georgia dome into the loudest stadium in the nfl. the 49ers have lost the last six games in atlanta. >> i was told that the decibel level was 113 there at the dome. and, you know, we're trying to get to 115 this week. i know it was deafening there on the sidelines took about a day and a half for me personally to recover. and i had earmuffs on. so i can imagine how it was for a lot of folks. >> the problem with the noise,

allen, is if the quarterback walks up under center and he is trying to change the play in audible it's not happening. also they can get the offense out of sync. the ball is snapped at the wrong time. there's confusion. that's what the atlanta fans want to do on sunday. >> plays it up louder and louder. >> yeah. >> all right. thank you. and just a reminder, you can find more of our coverage of the 49ers game at cbssf.com/sports. everything from the players to the entire season along with the best places to find your 49ers gear. so they are playing in the dome in atlanta. we're under a dome of high pressure. >> our dome is bigger than their dome.
