Overview
- Speaking on the Downs 2 Business podcast ahead of Sunday’s Colts–Rams game, Bynum alleged Los Angeles augments the in-stadium sound to mask a quiet home atmosphere.
- He said his suspicion stemmed from third-down sequences where fans were seated yet loud noise seemed to come from speakers.
- Bynum also criticized SoFi Stadium’s short turf and described the scene as more of a celebrity showcase than a traditional home crowd.
- League policy adopted in 2020 allows teams to use artificial noise within set decibel limits, though past violations like the Falcons’ case brought fines and a draft-pick penalty.
- As of the latest reports, the allegation has not been substantiated, the Rams have not publicly responded, and SoFi’s shared status with the Chargers continues to draw sizable visiting-fan turnouts.
