from what i was told, their roof "traps" all of the noise as it tries to escape. so, i think that the engineering has a lot to do their record.

i know it was loud because it was loud on tv.

This. Also the reason the Oregon and U of Washington stadiums are so loud. They have these metal roofs that extend out over the stands and bounce the sound back down toward the field. So any record in those places needs an asterisk. (Of course TS has a slight architectural advantage as well, in that the stands are pitched much more steeply (closer to vertical) than most, trapping the sound to some extent. Thank Huey Long, who had them built that way in order to accommodate the dormitories.
