Spurrier just compared the Alamodome atmosphere to the Tennessee Volunteers' Rocky Top but not loud enough to compare to the Florida Gators' Swamp.

The Alamodome eats sound like the Astrodome used to do.

I would say the atmosphere is surprisingly good. Being in a dome definitely helps, but even with only 30,000 it's sounded as loud as (or more) than some Alamo Bowls that I've been to. The speed of the game is a huge plus, it keeps the noise going consistently like you see at an NBA game, the lack of repeated pauses certainly changes the experience.

Payroll was tense.

For all the good publicity the Alliance of American Football received early on, it's still a startup business.
Like plenty of other startup businesses, the AAF might have been underfunded to start. The Athletic's David Glenn, citing multiple sources, reported that the league was in danger of not making payroll last week, just the second week of the league's existence.
The crisis was averted. Glenn wrote that Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Tom Dundon will be introduced as the AAF's new chairman after investing $250 million in the AAF. The NHL owner's investment allowed the league to meet its financial obligations.
It's a reminder that, while the AAF isn't necessarily competing with the NFL, the previous pro football leagues that tried to go head-to-head with the NFL could never come close to competing with the established league's vault of money.
AAF's financial issues sounded tense
From the Athletic's story, the AAF's situation last week sounded tense.
"Without a new, nine-figure investor, nobody is sure what would have happened," one source told Glenn at The Athletic. "You can always tell people their checks are going to be a little late, but how many are going to show up on the weekend for games when they don't see anything hit their bank accounts on Friday?"...
