ive been to Fla for day games and the heat and humididty just drain the crowd so i dont get all the hype on that stadium. 1. LSU 2. Texas A&M
3. Auburn 4. probably Ohio St 5. Tenn 6. Fla (night game) 7. Va Tech 8. Texas Tech(if they are playing Texas, OU, or Aggies)
Clemson is probably up there too, Texas in Austin is NOT loud

Clemson and Texas should be in this discussion...


Wrong. Texas is not loud. I've heard good things of the other Death Valley, but I've been to many Texas games and it does not compare to Tiger Stadium.

By measuring decibels, Clemson beat our record in 2007 BC game at 132.# We had 131.7 earlier that year during the UF game.

this may as well just be Germans....but i found this out

Clemson University holds the loudest noise record breaking the newly set record at Oregon. Clemson's Death Valley made an extrordinary 132.8 db's during the 2007 Boston College game. This surpassed LSU's earthquake set years prior.

Hasnt been in a long long time.

It has more to do with the price of season tickets and who gets them than anything.

With the success we have had, so came the upper socialites. They dont scream or get loud.

Its become more of a cocktail party.

I truely don't know how they fairly test the decibel levels of the different stadiums. To me it seems as if they pick up numbers from nowhere and then make a big deal bout it.

I would like some sporting news site to fairly and officially report the decibel highs of each game of big stadiums.

B/c i would have like to prove how loud TS was (like the bama game this year)

-this year at the Alabama game my voice was real hoarse and i could barely yell. So i bought a big gulp of water ($5). Once i finish drinking it, i put the pennies i had in my pocket into the bottle and banged that against my hand. IMO it was frickin loud. anyway i put it down for a commercial timeout and when i got back up i accidentally kicked it down to the seat infront of me. I asked a quiet old couple who were siting infront of me if they could hand it back to me and they said NO. they said i was to loud. i was like WTF are you kidding me. i didn't feel like arguing with them so i just bought another one and did it again.

....It's not that loud when fair weather fans leave early. It's too hot, it's too cold, our QB is too young.

Up until this year I'd agree with you....but it looks like that might be changing. The new north endzone is higher and much closer to the field than before and it really helps to keep in the crowd noise. We still have more than our share of "golf clappers", but the night game against Mizzou this season was very loud.

Well this has prooved with out a doubt how the east side has ruined ts. To be able to argue who is the loudest stadium in the country is poor. The eastside seemed to have opened the gates to alot of "I am here for the party"people. All this TAF crap has brought in money whores and TIGER STADIUM looks like crap on the outside anymore. Run on sentence, sorry. I AM SOOOOO PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A SEASON TICKET HOLDER WHEN TIGER STADIUM WAS ONE OF A KIND. IT WILL NEVER BE AGAIN.

BUT STILL

Jason, you sure you don't mean Autzen stadium where Oregon plays? I've never heard a thing about Washington


Nope I'm talking about Washington's Stadium. It measured a 130 Dec at the 1992 game when the Huskies played Nebraska. Many players have talked about Washington being the loudest place they had played. Washington used to be the loudest stadium in the Pac 10 for decades but their demise has obviously affected them. Autzen Stadium is the loudest 50,000 fans you will ever hear. They are loud. IF Oregon ever became really big time and they expanded their stadium to like 80,000 or something they could very well be the loudest in all of college football. Another thing about Duck fans is that they sustain their noise overtime unlike the Tiger Stadium crowd who kind of fades away over time.

When Washington was good, Husky Stadium would get rocking. Not so much the past few years

Penn St is probably #1. LSU, OSU, UF, Oregon, and Auburn are fighting for #2, IMO, maybe a few others, too.

We had a group of Penn State fans sit next to us the night we played Bama and they were amazed FWIW.

I've heard this, but have not experienced it myself. For all I know DKR could be very loud now; I was just going off past experiences (which were before the add on of the stadium)

The "new" UT stadium is loud for Texas but not loud by SEC standards. But i was not at the Mizzou game - i was at the Ark and Aggie games and they were not loud but then again they were blowouts. The Texas-OU game in Dallas was loud and the Texas @ Texas Tech game was amazingly loud for 50,000

When LSU blocked the field goal by Bama at the end of regulation this year, the stadium was louder than any other stadium in the history of man. That moment made the Earthquake game vs. Auburn look like a high school game. Was loud and it went on forever.
