I had an idea the other day that I think would make the stadium louder than it already gets. When the jumbotron shows the "Get Loud Neyland" picture, what if it then went to a diagram of the stadium and it showed the decibel level at the 6 points of the stadium, each corner and on the 50 on each sideline? I think it would create competition around the stadium to make there section the loudest, plus it would be cool to try to get louder then the prior time that it showed the image, maybe an average to track the overall loudness of the stadium so everyone would know the goal to try to beat the next time. Would there be any rules against this? There are phone apps that read decibel levels so I imagine it wouldn't be very hard to do. Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me. As far as rules go, I don't see it being any different then when it says to get loud, and then louder.

Very cool idea

Thanks, it got loud at times Saturday, but it still seemed we had way to many people just sitting on there hands so this somehow came to me on my way home so I thought I would share. Maybe someone could make it happen. I really do think it would help and I wouldn't think it would be that expensive.

I sent a similar idea to by email to the AD office a few years ago, back when they put up "Pump up the VOLume" on the screen....never heard a response back

1. Fund a research product to find out what sound a human can make that is both loud and can be sustained.
2. Keep information secret but subliminally hypnotize crowd into making said noise.
3. ???
4. Championship

Everyone who cares should bring a megaphone to make up for all the lame ppl that don't make a sound all game... it should be required

Could go the Mississippi State route: Blatantly break noise-maker rule, when SEC comes down us claim it is tradition and still do it.

I see no reason why not. I blatantly break the rule on carrying in booze every game and it greatly enhances my Neyland experience.

Not for sure but I wish we could install baffling of some type around the top to deflect sound back to the field. I'm sure acoustic experts have looked at that????

I like it! We do need plastic megaphones instead of goofy shakers placed on the seats. Maybe that would help.

I would love to do something like that, but that has got to be against the rules or people would already have it. Unless you built a new stadium and designed it that way, I wouldn't see them allowing it. I could be wrong though?
