I just don't believe a crowd in a stadium like that could make more noise than the crowds at LSU, Florida, and Tennessee. They're small and irrelevant. Do they record every game? Sounds like someone just said there's a meter and everyone just tried to make extra noise for a few minutes.

it does have a reference to another site with an espn reading of 135.

If I'm not writing a paper about decibel readings and you're not writing a paper about decibel readings then it won't really matter.

I will say that in the early 90s Washington had a powerful football program. But at the same time, their stadium is open. It doesn't close in or go straight up (like BHG). Sound can escape very quickly. I'd seriously question their reading just because of the acoustics of their stadium...

Now if they took the reading by having everyone turn around at the top of one of the stands to where the yelling went and echoed off one of the roofs, that may do it. But if you're asking for on-field decibels, I highly doubt it could get that loud without escaping over the water.

i seem to remember a few years ago against bama (2002?) there was an atrocious fumble call by the refs and neyland went crazy. ive never heard a more po'ed crowd. the espn sideline reporter (adrian karstens?) said that the crowd reaction was the loudest he had ever heard a college football stadium get. does anyone else remember this?

Not sure but I know it sounded pretty loud in Oregon by watching the game. I would say LSU is probably the loudest though. Amazing.

I just want to point out the decibel meter she used is a POS. If it's not done with a high quality meter, I don't believe it. Just sayin. If they would allow me to take my lap top into Neyland I could use a TL meter.

There's something weird about the acoustics at Husky stadium where it has some crazy echo effects that amplify the sound. They have that semi-roof over the stands and it bounces sound right back onto the field.

I went to the bama/tennessee game in knoxville the last time we beat bama and it was unbelievably loud during the second half :rock:

The only reason LSU is loud is because they can sell beer in their stadium from what I've been told

I wouldn't doubt it. I used to spend summers in Lake Charles (my dad worked there). I went to a concert one time and they were passing giant mugs of beer around everywhere. You get thousands of people drunk and they can make some noise let me tell you. As far as some of these other places, a lot has to do with acoustics. Some stadiums will be much louder based on the design of the stadium. I've heard Michigan is relatively quite, not because of the fans but because of the way the stadium is designed.

Michigan Stadium is relatively quite. I have yet to be there, but a person I worked with summed it up perfectly. He said "I don't like going to Michigan games because I can't get up and cheer without some Jew telling me to sit down".

I promise the instant we recovered the fumble against Arkansas in 1998 was louder than anything Husky Stadium could do if they tried. It was loud enough that I couldn't hear myself yell, or what my buddy beside me was yelling... so I'm sure it was in the 130-150 dB rock concert range. I've played in bands, and we can at least communicate verbally during practice at ~120 if we're close to each other.

If they told everyone in Neyland Stadium to yell for a world record(and everyone listened), people would end up getting seriously injured.

True, but there are also 50,000 people. If they are louder than some of the SEC stadiums, it has to be because of a fantastic stadium design.

If Tiger Stadium finished the upper deck and made it about 110,000, it would probably just destroy every record.

150dB and you and everyone else would be deaf. 130dB is extremely loud, bordering on painfully loud.

My assumption is that our stadium isn't known to be loud enough to warrant crews bringing a decibel reader.

Maybe once all our old, fair weather, season ticket holders die off we'll pack the stadium with loud people that get in to the game, or show up for that matter :eek:.
