False
You could argue the best conditions in Tiger Stadium (at night, top opponent, playoff implications etc) rival no other atmosphere worldwide.
I’m in Denmark and met some locals playing billiards the other night. They could not fathom 100K+ people for a sporting event.

Better? No but it can be as rowdy at times. When Oklahoma came and clowned on Ben Simmons the student section was was basically a football student section. Saw several baws puke in the middle of the bleachers
Had we pulled that win out it would have been a complete mad house

I mean, I wasn't around for the peak era of the PMAC, but just look at the last couple years in Tiger Stadium. Ole Miss OT walk off with those wrist bands, the Bama OT walk off with 2 earthquakes, the Florida game in 2019 and that's just a couple.
Tiger Stadium is like a man with ED. It doesn't get up for every opportunity like it used to, but give it a Viagra and it goes hard for 4 hours with no let up.

Peak PMAC can be special, for sure. But people come from all over the world to experience Death Valley, and when it’s at its best (Ole Miss 24…) no other venue in any sport comes close (in my biased opinion).

You can’t replicate peak Tiger Stadium but the PMAC does rock when Basketball is good. I remember the days of fans sleeping on the ramps days before games to get tickets.

You know football is over and baseball hasn't started yet when you start seeing posts like this lol

If you're comparing the Loyola Marymount PMAC game to a random 4th quarter blowout vs. Army in Tiger Stadium ... maybe.
Outside of that specific condition, it's Tiger Stadium 100 times out of 10.

Back in the Dale Brown era, the PMAC atmosphere was incredible. Best of the best for college basketball at times.
It hasn't been that way for many years though. Brady had two years when it was great. Wade had a some great atmosphere too at times, but it has never been consistent like it was for quite some time under Brown.
Tiger Stadium is inconsistent too and is not what it was, but is fun even on a down night. At its best, it's still the best there is - see Bama 2022.

The atmosphere of a big time basketball game where both teams are great is hard to beat in all of sports.
Unfortunately, PMAC hasn't seen that type of atmoshere since the late 80s/early 90s.
Basketball was too boom or bust from season to season under Brady to generate that type of atmosphere, and just when it looked like we would break through with Wade after multiple seasons of building fan momentum, Wade got fired and sucked all life out if the program, again.

F man, come on, I was at the PMAC for Shaq, CJ, Roberts, Blanton etc and it never got close to a Saturday night game in TS.

I was a student during the height of the Dale Brown era. I have been to all of the big football games since 1966.
There is nothing like Tiger Stadium at its best.
Today’s basketball arena is a morgue compared to what it was in the 1980s.

the atmosphere of two great college football teams at night is better
I don't care who is playing or where. A big time college football game is going to trump basketball games

It’s sad tState of our bball program has gotten so bad we have to resort to making these delusions of grandeur about our programs past to be able to stomach it.

False, but no reason it can't compete.
Loudest I've heard the Pmac in my lifetime was the 2019 season. Saturday home game against Arkansas; we came out flat as shite, place was dead. Chipped away a 20 point deficit to take lead with 2 minutes or so left. Crowd was absolutely raucous. we end up losing cause Tremont tried an ill advised alley oop on last possession but man, it was LOUD.
