re: Its official- NCAA considers LSU the loudest stadium

I sit high on the west side but was given a press pass by a friend Saturday so got to roam the sidelines and take some pictures. The view and sound from the sidelines and bench are totally different than where I sit. The stadium rises high above you. The sound now comes at you from all sides, not just the east side. It's astonishingly louder on the field than on the west side, high in the lower bowl. It's an intensity I had never been through at Tiger Stadium. This is what the players feel at every game. And the stadium was only half full. I wish I could have done this at the Alabama game last year.
