Interesting. Husky stadium and CenturyLink Field (Seahawks) are two loudest football stadiums and they’re in the Pacific Northwest. Not exactly a football hotbed.

I went to UW when LSU played there. Definitely loud. Maybe the roofs contribute, but it was very loud there.

Fake news.
Clemson's Earthquake Game was the '96 Peach Bowl vs. us:
I watched a 400lb Clemson fan wearing an orange tent bust his arse trying to double-fist a pair of large nachos and roll down 20+ steps. By the time he got good and wedged under the railing at the bottom, he was wearing a beautiful gold jersey.
We golf-clapped.

I really wish espn or cbs would bring a decibel meter to every game. Put a lil thing in the corner of the screen every now and then to show how loud it is. My memory is faded, but I could swear they did that for the LSU-Georgia game in 2004. I think it got to around 107 decibel. I remember being a lil shocked cause I thought for sure it would be over 110 at Georgia with their crowd. Anyone remember that?

I went to Husky Stadium for the LSU game and it was loud. Not Tiger Stadium loud though.

I’ve only been to LSU and Clemson on that list. Clemson was very quiet when I went but I believe they were playing the citadel so that might have had something to do with it.

Husky Stadium (Washington) and Autzen Stadium (Oregon) are phony entries. Both have huge metal roofs that overhang the stadiums on both sides of the field, bouncing the sound down. So the registered decibel level includes not just the true crowd noise but also the reflection of the same noise. Take those roofs away and both stadiums plummet down in the ranking.

You must really have a crush on o Ree. Every post you submit that has pictures has one or two of o, even when it's something that has absolutely nothing to do with the guy.

You can't seem to help yourself.

The measurement of decibels can fluctuate. Let's measure Tiger Stadium excitement and the overall experience. "Changing meteorological
conditions can easily cause fluctuations in sound levels by 10-20 dB over time periods of
minutes. The longer the transmission path, the larger are the fluctuations in levels. Outdoor
sound propagation is affected by many mechanisms, including:
a) Source geometry and type (point, line, coherent, incoherent)
b) Meteorological conditions (wind and temperature variations, atmospheric turbulence)
c) Atmospheric absorption of sound
d) Terrain type and contour (ground absorption of sound, reflections)
e) Obstructions (buildings, barriers, vegetation, etc)"
