Highest decibel level ever?????

You sat with the blue hairs?

Hey be careful, if you live long enough you will be a blue hair one day too!

2 loudest I’ve been to were 2016 Florida and 2015 Oklahoma.

I was at 2016 Florida and didn’t think it was impressively loud. Maybe it was just where I was sitting but I had been at louder games than that.

One that gets forgotten a little bit because we lost and the team wasn’t very good was 2013 Georgia. I had legit hearing issues after that game for a few days.

2022 Bama game holds record, iirc.

Edit- I am incorrect - UGA 2023 per another poster.

Same. At least clap your hands! And it wasn't all boomers. Some young people just standing and watching

Our “Neyland Pumpkins”. Vegetables clad in orange.

Nope, nowhere near them

No, officially it was UGA last year as another posted indicated.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

No, not close. Thousands around me just standing, not saying a word. Fact!

The fruit of expensive tickets IMO

I am probably in that blue hair category in terms of age - and I can get as loud as the rest of them. Sometimes I need to sit down, just because my body tells me to, but that doesn't mean I'm not still loud as I can be. Some folks just talk and speak louder.

Everyone who takes the time to be at the game and support the team as best as they can deserves respect.

I was with my father and another man who are close to 70. They yelled and clapped with me. Sitting down only hurts your view while standing doesn’t really help the Vols. It’s the noise that gives us home field advantage.

I stand as often as possible because it hurts to sit in a confined space for hours. I sit when I can because it hurts to stand in a confined space for hours. I get up and walk around the concessions because it feels good to move around and stretch. I really like that the non-students sit and stand often.

I've beaten this dead horse many times, back when the upper deck sat down and stomped their feet-- that echo made it the loudest I've ever heard Neyland. I was below them for the Bama game in the early 90s and I could not hear the person next to me. Never heard the PA announcer either.

I wish people hadn't stopped doing that. For some reason they think silently standing up and clapping a little is better

 

[dduncan4163]

Loud enough to break up a kidney stone

Theirs a lot of those at the games nowadays. A lot of old money at UT.

I stand corrected.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

So many options for the loudest game. Yesterday was really close to the 15’ Oklahoma game I’d say. Both were so loud you could literally feel the noise.

I think people overlook Texas A&M last year at home. When we backed them to the 1 in the south end zone, I could feel my teeth rattle. That was absolutely electric.

Lots of great, loud moments over the years. I wonder if once you get past a certain point in decibels you can’t tell much of a difference?

The official record is Georgia 2023 - maybe when Jaylen Wright ran the opening play in for a touchdown? But for my money Oklahoma 2015 was louder. I know, the screen said Georgia set the record ... if that's true then it had to come early considering how uncompetitive that game was. But OU 2015 was something I've never experienced since. Don't get me wrong, the home crowds are fire all season these days. Tennessee fans are hungry for it now and come ready to feast.

Last game I attended was OU 2015. The best sustained crowd noise I’ve witnessed.

I was nowhere near the expensive seats

This is why I would like to see a little more transparency on it but whatever. It was f’n loud.

I had heard the stadium was getting younger, as to why Neyland is back on top.

 

[FlVols]

I’ve been told that last night was the loudest environment ever

 

[BleedOrange16]

 

[EaglesVols91]

Nah, stadium doesn’t even hold 102,000 anymore. I’d say the record was set back when we held like 107,000

 

[volfan102455]

They only show the meter when we are on defense. It gets really loud when we score or have a big play too.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

We sat under the overhang on the first level at the Florida game and it was insanely loud. You could barely even hear your own self screaming.

 

[VFL 89]

We did not even come close to the record last night. The fluctuating noise meter on the jumbotron is just for show and is not an actual measurement of how loud it is inside Neyland stadium. Everyone needs to ignore that meter from now on.

Fans in Neyland stadium set the NCAA all time stadium noise record of 137db last year during the Georgia game. Here's a link:
