I think it had more to do with the make-up of the crowd.
This is just a guess based on my experience at the game.
This city is a melting pot of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I have seen more of your 'non-traditional' football fans (not middle-aged, male, and caucasian) in the family section this year than I ever recall in any previous years.
When we were in the red zone, I noticed that the 'traditional' fans were relatively quiet, but the asian, east indian and middle eastern fans beside me were still just as loud. I think it was just a matter of experience: Not experienced enough to know the impact their noise could have.
Got to give them their props though, they were just as loud as everyone else and totally into the game, even if they were nursed on cricket and futbol. Given enough experience, they will get it. They already knew how to sneak rum(?) into the game and discretely get sauced in the family section that prohibits alcohol...so they got that going for them.
