Tiger Stadium vs. The Superdome

I was at the Falcons game last night and was thinking about the noise level in there compared to The Swamp. Being a dome intensifies the noise so I wanted to know what you guys thought. Which is louder....Saints or a big night game in TS?

depends who lsu is playing

a playoff game in the dome is louder or a MNF game.

yeah i have thought the same thing and it is hard to compare. I would say that playing a top ranked Bama team at night in Death Valley is second to none in relation to lets say Saints Vikings NFC championship game. But i have heard friends say that it was every bit as loud as a big game in Death Valley.

Yeah, I guess it all depends on the opponent. The loudest I have heard LSU was the 2009 Florida game. The game after Tebows concussion, at night, #1 vs. #4. Our first possession....it was really loud in there.
Last night, it was pretty loud in the dome after Mannings 3rd pick. I don't really remember G'ville getting THAT loud.

Saint games are much louder than Tiger Stadium

the Dome at its loudest is louder than TS at its loudest

Bam! Empirical evidence. Nice.
TS = 130 decibel peak. Superdome = 119 decibel peak.

not really. The Dome was only measured in the 3rd quarter of that game from the field, the rest was from the press box.
If TS reached 130 decibels, we would have blown out our ear drums

Right now the Dome, but let's rehash this after the SEZ expansion goes up, and see what that does to TS's acoustics.

Doubt it.

I'm fairly certain that noise levels on the field at TS have been measured between 125 - 130 decibels.
So the highest recorded decibel level at the Superdome is 119. The highest recorded decibel level at TS has been 125-130. Tiger Stadium wins on the empirical evidence. All of the rest comprises anecdotal accounts heavily influenced by emotional bias, etc.
Either way, in a huge game, TS is deafening.

I love the Dome, but the noise in Tiger Stadium during a big SEC game is untouchable. Nov. 3rd of this year will be a prime example.

The Dome last year for the Lions playoff game was just about the loudest constant noise I have ever heard at a football game. Maybe the LSU/Alabama game this year can match it.

except that the Dome was only measured on the field during the 3rd quarter
lack of data doesn't equal a victory
I sit lower in TS than I do in the dome, and the dome is louder IMO. Big Ben agrees with me too

I hope the SEZ expansion is nice. I had forgotten how horrible it looks there now.

Right. But if I am taking the Tiger Stadium side of this argument, I can confidently state that Tiger Stadium has higher recorded decibel levels than the Superdome. Meanwhile, if you were taking the Superdome side of the argument, you would have to contend that there were some other unspecified point in time when the Superdome noise levels exceeded 119 decibels on the field...even though there are no measurements or other empirical data to support that contention...and even though that contention is based entirely on your own subjective experience of the Dome, which is influenced by bias and emotional factors. That's all I'm sayin'.
In any event, this topic isn't all that dear to me. As long as everyone acknowledges that TS is the loudest venue in college football.

wouldn't the empirical data suggest Wisconsin's stadium? It reached 135 i believe
can't find a link for it, so may not be true

Been on the field for both TS seemed much louder.
In the stands dome seemed louder.
