Criteria can be whatever you want to base it on. I’ll start with CFB.

Overrated: Penn State. Everybody always talks about tWhiteout, but everytime you see highlights of it getting loud it’s the PA blasting “HOOOOEEEEESSSS CALLLLIIIINNNNN”. No crowd noise. Also, Penn State are a bunch of pedos.

Underrated: Alabama. I hate myself for giving them any credit, but the 2019 LSU-Alabama game was one of the loudest away atmospheres I’ve ever been a part of. Say what you want about those cousinfrickers being entitled and quiet, but they can get loud when they want to.

Next I’ll do NFL.

Overrated: Saints. Season ticket holder here. When the Saints are good, there’s no better atmosphere in the NFL. When they’re bad, the Superdome might as well be SoFi Stadium. This season’s home games vs. 49ers and Football Giants have been glorified road games. The excuses are always the same: “They travel well!” Ok and where did they get their tickets from? “I’m not watching, they’re terrible!” That never stopped Buffalo or Kansas City from packing their stadiums in the snow when they were rebuilding.

Underrated: Vikings. I’ve had the privilege of going to a couple of Vikings games at US Bank Stadium, and it was basically a Norse fortress. From the skol chant to the gjallarhorn, Minnesota is one of the best pro sports atmospheres I’ve ever experienced. The fans are passionate and they are LOUD. They are also very knowledgeable and enjoyable to watch a game with, despite their history of falling short of the BOWL.

Anyway, what say tMSB? Any sport, take your pick. I’ll hang up and listen. TIA

Cold take. I will give the Cheaters credit for sticking with their trash can team though and going down to their level though.

CFB

Overrated: Texas, not that impressed with DKR’s atmosphere and they are natural tools.

Underrated: Washington, great fans to interact with. Had a great time when LSU went up there in 2009.

Overrated. Notre Dame

Going to an LSU game in South Bend made me realize how electric SEC environments are. Big plays by Notre Dame brought a polite round of applause.

Using your illogic and history of something that happened...

Also Alabama fans are a bunch of Racist Murderers. - JTKB.

I guess that fact, according to you, is Underrated.

Do they even have women fans? I swear every time they panned to the crowd I saw nothing but 5’7” WOP and Puerto Rican dudes. All wearing fricking jerseys.

Racism isn’t cool and you’re not edgy. Are you old enough to be posting?

Funny I went up there for a random game. Arizona State in Penix's last year. It was a horrible game with rain, so the atmosphere mostly sucked. But I'm sure it's good when the offense is actually scoring.

The most insane atmosphere I have experienced besides LSU was Florida with Tim Tebow when they destroyed LSU. Felt like a nightmare.

Underrated- Colorado Rockies, they ranked 15th in attendance and lost 119 games this year This stat is astounding to me

Overrated- LA Dodgers. They show up in the 2nd inning, leave in the 7th, people get stabbed in the parking lot, this likelihood increases during rivalry games or highly emotional moments, and many of them make lots of noise despite knowing nothing about baseball


ETA:

Underrated-

Milwaukee Brewers
Houston Astros
Cleveland Browns
