Death Valley vs. Autzen Stadium

quote:

---

In the last couple of years i've heard from people online and in person that Autzen is louder then death valley. I think this is crazy is Autzen even close to as aloud as Death Valley can get? Maybe the last two seasons Oregon's stadium has been louder at times, but still i dont believe it. Plus Death Valley holds like 20,000 more people.

No way in hell.

Ole Miss is probably louder when LSU visits than Autzen but the venue itself is probably less hospitable

Loud and hospitable are the two terms that need to be distinguished

I'm sure Oregon fans think there environment is similar to the SEC, Oregon St fans were in shock when they showed up to BR (the rain deluge made Tiger Stadium a shell of itself that night)

Lets see who gets louder in Dallas

As has been said, the stadium's configuration and the fact that the seats are so close to the field contribute to the noise level there.

That being said, I would argue that Tiger Stadium has a higher ceiling for noise level than Autzen does, due to having more people, and more drunk people to boot.

A couple of fun facts about Autzen: it's not only not on campus, it's across the Willamette River from the campus. And it was built on top of a landfill.

We wiil be in jeopardy of losing our loudest stadium status if we keep pricing out the obnoxious beer drinking coon arse for the wine and cheese wuss!

I've been to Autzen and it is very loud. LSU, UF loud.


No joke.

I have been to both an it is not even close.

I have been to both. I went to the Oregon-Purdue home opener at Autzen in 2009 in a late afternoon/evening start that went into the night. The game was nationally televised by Fox.

The game was a nail biter with Oregon winning it at the end in a fairly high-scoring game. The stadium certainly had its bit of electricity. The pre-game enthusiasm and surrounding tailgating was pretty solid, but certainly not LSU caliber by any means. The issue I had, although I am sure a late season game in the civil war against Oregon State at home or hosting USC would make the encironment even better, was the shape of the stadium, particularly the end zones, which allow a lot of sound to escape. The fans are rabid and wonderful, but there just is not nearly as many of them, as the staadium is substantially smaller than Tiger Stadium.

All in all, i would put Tiger Stadium at its best at an 11 out of 10 and would venture to put Autzen at a 9.5 out of 10 for a big game within the actual stadium during a game.

It was impressive, but cannot compete at all with Tiger Stadium.

I've never understood these types of posts...why?

Who can prove it's louder?
How do you prove it?
Oregon will say there's is louder
LSU will say there's is louder.

How does the argument get settled...and who cares anyway?
