Sam Howell says Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium is the loudest place in which he has ever played

The Washington Commanders' quarterback, Sam Howell, is preparing to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. Howell, who has started 10 NFL games, is coming off consecutive 300-yard performances. He acknowledges that playing in Seattle's Lumen Field will be a difficult challenge due to the Seahawks' strong home-field advantage. Howell expects the environment to be loud and exciting, and the team will rely on silent cadences. When asked about the loudest stadiums he has played in, Howell mentioned Denver's Empower Field at Mile High as the loudest in the NFL, but also stated that some college stadiums, particularly Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies, were even louder. Howell's praise for Lane Stadium will likely please his teammates who hail from Virginia Tech.
