I found a recent blog that shows a feature list also saying stadium sounds are in the game:

I sent Phil a PM about this topic but Ian is not accepting PM's. Could someone post on his twitter page about it and maybe we'll get an answer?
from the blog:
6. Suspenseful Moments -
o Referee conferences on tackles going into the endzone
o Chain Gang Measurements on short yardage
o Trainers running out to attend to injured players
o Sideline/Endzone Catch discussions and debates
7. New authentic broadcast presentation -
o 500+ statistical banners
o Specific presentation when statistical records are broken
o Re-designed ticker that also drives dynamic stats
8. Audio improvements -
o Brand new crowd audio system with new reaction logic as well as crowd swells during mid-play. Intelligent crowd sweeteners (individual people yells and sfx) along with team-specific chants.
o All new player chatter and QB cadences
o NOTE: Listen in surround sound to hear the full effect of what we've done to amp up the stadium atmosphere. The crowd surrounds you and the sounds of excited fans pop from all angles, leaving you with a very live stadium feel.
9. Commentary -
