Nebraska last year was the loudest I have ever been a part of. 90k people, 30k students, a defensive struggle, and the yells even drowned out the 12th Man tv.
tu in 09 was incredibly loud too. People were much more rowdy, but there was a lot of deflating big plays.
Hostile environment? OU and tu are the only road games I've been to. tu has been embarrassingly quiet every time. Norman... sort of loud, no where near Kyle, but I haven't ever witness a close game, they just pound us every time I've been.
As gay as the yell leaders are, and the utter ****ry I have to deal with because of their existence, they still do an incredible job keeping the students in to yells. The 12th Man tv ruins it a lot though.

quote:1. I'm going to assume you're talking about road venues--lots of folks think their home venue is loud, but it's hard to be objective about that (and I personally think your impression of volume depends somewhat on where you are sitting). I would have to say that for sheer volume, it's hard to beat a dome--I seem the recall the Alamodome as really amplifying sound, moreso than Jerryworld or the Superdome.

2. Most hostile environment for A&M was always Lubbock. They like the throw things (Colorado fans were that way too) and, when Leach was the coach their, really had a chip on their shoulder and went out of their way to be jerks. Shoving the goal post up into the visitor's section like a scythe was a nice touch. Not as bad as it once was now that Leach is no longer egging them on.
3. Lincoln, hands down. Freindly folks and a good football environment. Of course, we were blessed to have good weather every time we went up there--I think it was 80 degrees every time, and we either played them in late October or November.

1. Memorial Stadium, Lincoln Nebraska
2. Jones Stadium, Lubbock,Texas.
The fans are horrible, its the worst, most ignorant fan base in the Big 12 easily and I'm sure they would rate right up their with the worst in the country.
3. This one is a tie for me, Iowa State has some of the nicest and most underrated fanbases in the Big 12. That fanbase deserves some better football.
I will also miss and going to Lincoln. As much as I hate all the rhetoric sometimes about Nubraska having "the best fans" in college football, there is some truth behind it however.

1. College campus: Oklahoma, Any stadium: Arrowhead Stadium 2007. The stakes were extremely high and it was an even split down the 50 yardline. Both fanbases were crazy loud
2. In history I'd have to go with 1978 at Ohio State... that is until they warned the crowd to quiet down or get a penalty
3. I'll have to go with Ames, IA definitely. All the fans were so hospitable, decent stadium, and wasn't on the other side of the world. Nice people up there.

Kyle Field against Nebraska in 1998. I couldn't hear my own voice.

2. What was the most hostile environment your team ever played in?
Texas Tech due to the fans throwing batteries, urine, alcohol, and all sorts of goodies at us. Not to mention the infamous goalpost incident of 2001.

Lincoln, Nebraska.

I'll never forget attending the Big 12 Championship game here in St. Louis. The cocky KSU fans throwing tortilla shells during the game only to see their dreams smashed as A&M came back to win.

I know I do not fit the OP request but I liked the topic.
1) Loudest
On the field tie - LSU/Auburn/Bama, there is a point at which degree of loud can no longer be distinguished
In the stands depends on where you sit but I will go with LSU in general or BDS if you are lower bowl on the sides - BDS upper deck endzones you just do not hear the loudness or feel the energy as well.
2) Hostile - most say LSU but I never experienced that. TN then the swamp. - Most will not experience the TN hate like ALA vs TN - that hate goes back 100 years.
3) Favorite - other than BDS, no question LSU fun times and great people so long as you understand the way they taunt and instead of bristle at it just join them and have fun. Once you join them at their table they will fight their own for you cause you are now a friend.

A&M/Nebraska at Kyle Field last year. Largest crowd ever at Kyle, largest number of students (30,005) to ever see a college football game. Vintage battle between the Wrecking Crew and the Blackshirts. Final score was 9-6. Never seen or heard Kyle that loud.
Honorable mention: 2006 Corps Classic between Texas A&M and Army at the Alamodome my freshman year. Game ended on a goalline stand by the Aggie defense as time expired. An above poster mentioned how San Antonio's Alamodome seemed to amplify sound better than, say, Jerryworld, and I have to agree--thought the roof was gonna blow off that damn place.

Lubbock, Texas. Batteries thrown, tortillas and obcenities abundantly hurled, armed police escort for the Aggie Band, and goalposts shoved into the visitor's section. I don't know what's in the water in west Texas, but them folks are insane.

3. What was your favorite place to visit that you would honestly missed?
Nebraska. Best, most cordial fans in the nation.

1. I suppose the loudest game I ever attended personally would either be Texas v. A&M '09 or '07. I wasn't at the Nebraska game last year unfortunately, I'm sure that was louder.
2. Texas Tech will always be the most hostile for Aggies. See above posters.
3. Of the places I've been I'm actually going to miss Baylor the most. Only reason is they get so worked up every year and then we kick the **** out of 'em. It's almost adorable.

THIS. Used to live in Waco, and they get all lathered up and foam at the mouth whenever A&M comes to town, only to have the shite kicked out of them pretty much every time. So cute, gonna miss those fools too.

Loudest stadium:
I was in fifth grade here, but it made an impression on me and has always "seemed" like the loudest stadium I ever heard:
1985 t.u. / A&M
Away from Kyle Field, A&M's Alamo bowl victory against Michigan was damn loud. The Alamodome isn't pretty, but it really bounces the sound waves in yelling situations. I remember the Superdome against Ohio State getting loud, too.
Most hostile environment:
Death Valley/Tiger Stadium, 1994. Leeland McElroy goes 80 yards late in the 4th Quarter to seal the A&M win. Some very pissed off coonasses that night.
Texas Tech doesn't have the pageantry of LSU, but there fans are in general just "meaner" ... they rage all day and night when the Aggies come to town. Not quite as loud, but hostile? Yup.
favorite place to visit that you would honestly missed?
Not going to lie here. I love playing the t-sips in Austin and will miss it. I went there for law school, have a ton of friends in that town, and A&M/Texas is a state treasure.
That being said, I'm damn excited about watching the Aggies playing in the SEC next year.

1. Memorial Stadium - Nebraska
2. Kansas before the game was moved to KC. A lot of hate in that rivalry. Shame it might be over
3. Lincoln Nebraska. I've been several times and it was almost always a good time.
Side note - If kansas refuses to continue to the rivalry Mizzou still wants a game in KC and may talk to Nebraska about reviving the series with the Huskers as a neutral site game at Arrowhead. It'd be a fun game that would draw plenty of national attention. If the SEC only goes with an 8 game conference schedule I think this is even more likely.

you mean to tell me 83% of your undergrads, 65% of your total enrollment, went to this game....GTFO!

We've got just under 30k seats set aside for the students, and have had to break out folding chairs on the track to accomodate overflow from the student section for every game save and except our last home game. Student attendance at A&M pretty much blows teh rest of the league out of the water. I think only Ohio State comes anywhere close to our student numbers.

No CarRamrod, it's true, no one needs to GTFO.
A&M usually seats 25-30k students at a game ("Home of the 12th Man" the '12th Man' referring to the student body).
We were trying to do a Guiness Book of World Records entry for "most students at an American College Football Game" or some such, but the category was deemed "too contrived" by Guiness.
But the 30k number for students is right.

We sold 30,356 student sports passes before they halted sales. Someone who works in the ticket office posted that number on texags.com on 8/30/2011.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what he's telling you. Student attendance at A&M football games far exceeds that of other schools.

I have had the pleasure of attending two Mizzou games at Kyle field.
Their student section is very large, loud and respectful to opposing fans, regardless of win or loss, which sometimes can be lost on the in-tempered youth at other institutions.
I'm am glad that Mizzou has made this journey to the SEC with aTm and there is little doubt that the loss of these two institutions are a huge blow to the Big 12 and will be nigh impossible to replace in academics, athletics and collegiate atmosphere.
