One NFL player accused the Los Angeles Rams of piping in fake crowd noise during games at SoFi Stadium.
Indianapolis Colts defensive back Camryn Bynum suggested that the Rams use some sort of fake crowd noise to compensate for their unenthusiastic home crowds. In an appearance on the “Downs 2 Business” podcast ahead of the Colts’ Week 4 game against the Rams, Bynum suggested some of his Minnesota Vikings teammates felt the same way when playing in the stadium in 2024.
“They play fake crowd noise because their crowd isn’t that turnt,” Bynum said. “The Rams have a good fanbase, but they’ve moved around so much, it’s not true fans. It’s more like a celebrity show in there.
“On third downs, the crowd is sitting down, but somehow there’s noise coming from somewhere. We’re just looking around last year, like, hold on, that noise is coming from the speakers, because nobody’s turnt up right now.”

Bynum’s Vikings faced the Rams at SoFi twice last season, once in the regular season and again in the playoffs. Minnesota lost both games.
Both the Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, who share the venue, have infamously had trouble with visiting fans taking over the stadium during certain games. Perhaps the Rams tried to take some steps to make life difficult on the visitors in light of that.
If Bynum’s claims are correct, the Rams could actually get in trouble for this. The Atlanta Falcons were found to have done something similar a decade ago, and were ultimately fined and docked a draft pick for it.
