Anyone who was there on Saturday, help me decide...

It wasnt loud at all IMO. About on the same level as Tiger Stadium is for a mediocre SEC team. Electric atmosphere but not loud.

It got loud for a few plays but they don’t sustain it like we do. However, it’s an intimidating stadium with the lights, piped in music, Pom poms waving one unison, and the whole Dixie land delight routine (if you thought we over play callin Baton Rouge go to Tuscaloosa and count how many time you hear Dixie land delight, I mean my God do they wear that shite out) when they got back within one score and started blasting “we will rock you” with the lights going off I was like frick we’re in trouble

I sat in the middle of all of them and you could cut the tension with a knife the whole game. It just had that feeling that they’d go off on me at any second if I cheered to loud lol. They had some drunk guys a few rows behind me that were lsu fans that were obnoxiously cheering the whole game and when queen picked it some of the fans around them finally lost their cool and went off on them and even called security. I kinda get it though, I’ve had to sit around bama fans at every home game we’ve played against them and I get aggravated with them too when we’re losing

This is probably an alter, but no it wasn't loud by any margin of death valley.

but BDS was loud on Saturday. Can some of you others who were there give your opinion on how it compared to meaningful LSU games from the past (e.g. UGA '03, UF '07, Bama '12, UF '19)?

I was in the LSU student section on the 5 yard like 4 rows up. It wasn’t loud AT ALL. It was all piped in music. It was so much it was almost overwhelming. If they didn’t use their sound system in the stadium it would’ve sounded like a high school game, truly. The crowd only cheered when they did the light show and when the bell rung to let the crowd know it was 3rd down.
Tiger Stadium is loud because it’s non stop cheering the whole game. BDS is all piped in noise and even with that it didn’t compare to Tiger Stadium, it’s not even close. And that’s me being truly unbiased. I was kinda disappointed with BDS no lie. I guess that’s what being an entitled sports fan is like.

Every stadium will be loud when their team makes a big play. What separates LSU is that for big games it’s loud from the time the band takes the field 15 minutes before the game until 0:00 in the 4Q.

I’ve been to every SEC stadium sans Mizzou and at all the “big” games vs. LSU.

UF and Auburn are the loudest outside of LSU.

It gets loud at BDS on big offensive scoring plays...thats it.

The loudest most raucous college game ever played was LSU-USC 1979 and I was there in addition to a few other games you mentioned. And it’s not even close. The other games are a very distant second.
Here’s all you need to know. Ronnie Lott, three time Super Bowl winner. Hall of Famer. He said in an article a few years ago that that 79 game was the only time in his entire football career that a crowd completely intimidated him. It was the greatest football atmosphere of all time.
