I'm curious to know more about the earthquake game...

1. No way to tell as both were happening at the same time. I would say it would be because TS's concrete foundation amplified the jumping around.
2. No. It wasn't discovered until the next day that anything had registered.
3. Idk but the only reason the Earthquake game happened is because someone had a seismograph running 24/7 by TS. Maybe if they set up another one it would happen again.

There is not a seismograph machine in the same place. I promise you that we would have registered if there was. Would be cool for LSU football to get one. Similar to if they got a noise meter, it would amp up fans even more.

1. Was the resulting earthquake a product of the crowd noise, jumping of fans, or both?

I've told this story before, but my memory of that game is this. We sat in the Northeast corner, very far away from the game winning td. When the ball was passed I couldn't really see if it was caught or not, but the entire North Endzone jumped at the same time. I swear it was synchronized jumping on the first leap.

It's possible the "earthquake came from the jumping.

. The stadium was filled to a capacity of roughly 80,000 that game

LSU was losing 6-0 with less than 2 minutes to go. One other memory I have is that everytime late in the game that we would have to punt, people would be leaving and some LSU fans was mocking the losers with no faith, "Where are you going Tiger fans? Why are you leaving?"

Now there wasn't near the exodus that we saw in 2014 vs Miss State, but some people were leaving nonetheless.

The game sucked til that one play

That's all I know

I would guess that if more stadiums had seismographs running nearby there'd be a lot of earthquake games

I was certainly jumping up and down and screaming at the same time. I was in the NEZ

2. For anyone at the game, did anyone feel anything

No. Cause I was jumping up and down screaming.

I was 7 ...I just know that we went nuts and cheered.. Can't remember much else

At the time of the TD that created the event TS was not full. Some people had already left. I was midway up on the NE End Zone where the ball was caught. It was crazy in the Stadium and very loud. One of the best games I ever watched in TS. People forget that Auburn got the ball back with a chance to go down the field and win the game. Defense came through big time.

I can answer these questions from this perspective. I lived in the South Stadium dormitory at that time and was in my dorm room in the walls of the stadium for that game. I didn't attend games, except that I would sometimes walk in in the second half when they stopped taking tickets. Some of us used to break in late at night sometimes through a section of bent screen and run around the field and smoke things. I did not go to the field side on the night of the earthquake game.

All day before the game a group of us who lived in South Stadium did what we always did on game days, we sat on the front steps of the dorm and watched people walk around the stadium. When we would take notice of someone we would watch for them and count how many times they would circle the stadium. We incorporated that into our drinking. We would also duck into rooms and smoke things. South stadium was not air conditioned and was not supervised in any way.

The game that night was loud, and it got very loud at the end. For every game there is a vibration and echoing sound that we could feel. For big games you can feel strong vibrations when the crowd gets going. That night things got very loud toward the end of the game and the atmosphere was obviously rocking.

To tell the truth, however, we didn't notice any vibration which we perceived as more or less than any other big game. That the seismograph in the geology building registered an earthquake was surprising. I don't think anyone expected that. There was no noticeable "earthquake."

My wife saw her first game in Tiger Stadium that night - our seats were on the 50 yard line, east side, row 5. For 58 minutes, she kept telling me "I thought you told me this place was loud." After Hodson to Fuller, I asked her if she could hear it now - she said "hear it hell, I can feel it." That is a big yes to question #2>
