How does Death Valley compare to other stadiums globally?

Death Valley has been proven time and time again to be the best atmosphere in college football, and some say even in American sports..so I have a question:
I know our fanbase seems to get around a good bit, so I was wondering how the atmosphere/stadium compares to other stadiums and atmospheres around the world?
There are some huge soccer stadiums out there, so those who have been, how do we hold up?

I went to Brett Favre's last game at Lambeau, the NFC Championship game they lost to the Giants. It was an incredible atmosphere but at the end of the day I still prefer Tiger Stadium

According to Miles, the grass in Tiger Stadium is in a class of its own

Very favorably. Soccer and cricket are the two other sports that come to mind but I'm not sure either carry he sustained noise levels that you see in TS. DV is a drum.

I'm sure when brazil played Germany earlier this year in the World Cup that it was just as crazy as ts

Here are some iconic european stadiums for comparison, many of them used to have much higher capacities until FIFA regulations required "all seater" configurations, doing away with standing-room only sections.
Wembley Stadium, London
Capacity: 90,00
Camp Nou, Barcelona
Current Capacity: 99,000
Previously held as many as 115,000 before conversion to "all seater" style. Future renovation plans will bring capacity to 105,000.
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid
Capacity: 81,000
San Siro, Milan
Capacity: 80,000
This one is cool because it is shared by Milan's most prestigious clubs, bitter rivals Internaziale and AC.
Croke Park, Dublin
Capacity: 85,000
No idea how loud these venues are in person as I've sadly never been to any of them. But the architecture alone is worthy of comparison to our beloved Tiger Stadium.

I can't find the link but a few ago someone rated the most intimidating stadiums in the world and only 2 USA stadiums made the list. Tiger Stadium was ranked 3rd, Lambeau was ranked I think 9th.

I once went to a Sumo match where Fujinokawa was going against Taiho.You could not hear a chopstick chop.

I was in Rome in April and found the Coliseum badly in need of renovation. There were no video boards and the Club Level did not serve alcohol. The outside was impressive but it looks like they copied some of that from Tiger Stadium.

The one in Madrid is georgeous.

There are so many stadiums I prefer structurally
Tiger Stadium is great but it's not the best in sports. Possibly a top 20 venue though?

Some of these parks are national side grounds, and don't have regular tenants, like Wembley and Croke Park. They don't have as much atmosphere as T.S.
On the other hand, the Nou Camp and Bernabeu top current T.S. They both house one club which plays more than once per week. People in these places don't leave at halftime, even when playing minnows. They don't stop cheering or singing for the entire 90 minutes the way T.S. does, with the exception of the student section.

I have seen Inter Milan play in the San Siro. It was a normal Serie A match against Udinese. Inter had won the Champions league the year before so they were really good. The atmosphere was similar to a LSU vs ULM game. I'm pretty sure if you go to a Champions League match or the darby against AC Milan it would be way better.

We are number one in the world, despite what the negative motherfrickers on this board say. There is no doubting that.
