Erin Andrews has spent enough time inside NFL stadiums to know the difference between a loud crowd and a truly hostile one, and she didn’t hesitate when Alex Cooper asked her to size up the league’s fan bases.
For Andrews, the toughest place to walk into is Seattle. She pointed to the Seahawks crowd at Lumen Field as the most intimidating, leaning hard on the noise and the overall chaos of the atmosphere.
“Have you been to a game in Seattle? Wow.
Wild. Loud.
Like… Yeah. They bring it.
They bring it. It is wild loud.”
Cooper and Andrews also touched on Philadelphia and Boston before the conversation shifted west to Los Angeles, where both of them said the vibe is much calmer. Cooper described the city as a place where people are “far more laid back, quiet and not really as into the game as most other stadiums.”
She added, “I moved to LA and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Why is everyone sitting?
Why is everyone calm and just being kind of quiet?’ I’m like, at the Dodger game, and everyone’s just like… It’s different energy,”
When Cooper asked Andrews to name the “nicest” fans, Andrews answered immediately: Green Bay. “Packers. Just Midwest… Go in January too…”
That answer gives Packers fans a boost, even if it means Seattle gets the edge as the league’s most intimidating setting. The Los Angeles take is another one that may not land smoothly with Rams or Chargers fans, or with some Raiders supporters who remember the LA days.

Vikings Writer Is Already Doubting A Packers Team Fans Still Trust
The Packers still have plenty of reasons to feel better about their long-term outlook as the 2026 season comes into focus. Tucker Kraft is expected back after his injury, Jordan Love keeps adding experience at quarterback, and the team has also made changes on special teams that could pay off in a subtle but important way. There are enough encouraging pieces on paper to keep Green Bay in the conversation, especially with the roster starting to settle around its core.
Chris Schad of The Viking Age, though, is already poking at the soft spots in that optimism. He points to Josh Jacobs landing on the commissioners list and Micah Parsons working his way back from injury as reminders that the Packers are not exactly bulletproof, even before the season begins. For a team that still has believers inside its own fan base, the question is whether those concerns are just early-season noise or the kind of nagging issues that can show up once the games start to matter.

Packers Fans Will Love Parts Of This Projected 2026 Lineup
After roster cutdowns, the early look at Green Bays projected 2026 lineup has plenty for Packers fans to digest, especially on offense where Jordan Love is still the clear centerpiece. The projection also points to MarShawn Lloyd at running back, a reminder that the backfield picture could look a lot different a year from now as the team keeps shaping its next core.
The bigger appeal is how the exercise sketches out the full roster picture across offense, defense and special teams, giving a glimpse of where the Packers may already feel settled and where more turnover could still be coming. It is still only a projection, of course, but for a fan base that pays close attention to every roster detail, the lineup offers an interesting snapshot of what Green Bay might look like in 2026.

Packers Suddenly Need A Lot More From MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyds path to Week 1 has taken a sharp turn, and not the one the Packers likely had in mind when they brought him along through two injury-plagued seasons. With Josh Jacobs dealing with a legal situation, Lloyd suddenly finds himself positioned as Green Bays de facto No. 1 running back, a label that comes with a very different level of attention than the one he carried entering camp.
For the Packers, the shift matters because the backfield had been built around a more familiar hierarchy, and now the offense may have to lean on a player still working to establish his durability and reliability. Lloyds talent has never been the question as much as the ability to stay on the field, and the pressure that comes with a bigger role will now arrive before Green Bay had hoped it would. [Read more 🡒]
