SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 12 -- Packed to the girders with 18,500-plus crazed Spurs fans and with a low roof, the crowd noise at the SBC Center is palpable.

To find out how loud, we have a man-about-the-SBC-Center to measure how loud this place gets during the game. And, if the Pistons are doing well, we'll see how quiet it can become as well.

Join us throughout Game 2 as we give periodic updates both in The Finals Blog and on this page as to how loud it is here in San Antonio.

We have the second quarter numbers on the decibel meter. Check out where our man in the SBC Center registered his readings for the second stanza.
