Section with highest overall crowd volume

[207 others]

Kinda an odd topic but I'm curious which section has the most scientific, engineer wise, overall sound volume..

I understand the student section is loud due to students but which section has the most sound just collapsing into your ears from everyone collectively cheering?

I wonder how mid field upper and lower vs end zone upper and lower and corners of upper lower compete for the amplification of sound waves in a bowl shaped, "stacked on top" (we are a high vs wide stadium) 2 deck stadium is?

I'm going to UF game in PP around row 40 and wonder how that would compare to say, P, or the other side around D etc. Sound/audiophile/engineers welcome to chime in on the theoretical loudest seats in neyland..

Tough question to give an exact answer as this is a topic of great scientific interest with a variety of opinions!

A few labs around the country seem to believe the lower section near the student section is pretty loud. Sorry I don’t have any links to their research though…

Personally I would agree… the lower sections near the students or accross can be a little wild

That's awesome I appreciate the input and that makes sense. I love random factoids and this got me curious about the nature of sound, loudness etc

id say dead center lower bowl. closer the field the louder.

Likely the upper decks sound bleeding to the lower? I wonder if lower amplifies to upper too.

We pretty loud in P.

def, upper deck used to stomp, and it could be heard through out the stadium. louder in lower bowl for sure.

Needs to be 130 already I know it would sell out in big games

I’m in section B row 55 and for the Florida and Bama games in 2022 I had to wear earplugs the whole game when UT was on defense and it wasn’t cause I didn’t want to talk to my wife. I could not take noise.

If the other sections were any worse for those games, I would not want to be in them.

I will be in Sec O row 4 for the Florida game… I’ll let you know

I sat in the lower bowl across from the student/band and could feel my eyes vibrating in their ocular fluid during a pick 6 run back.

My friend and I do this in the upper deck. We can't afford to watch games down on the field, but I'm going to make as much noise as I possibly can on 3rd down even in the "cheap seats"
