Loudest you’ve heard Neyland?

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Oklahoma was very loud and was an inexcusable loss with how dominant the Vols were that night... Kicking a field goal on the 6 inch line didn't help. Thanks Butch!

I was there too. Botch Jones really botched that one.

The 1998 UF game is without a doubt the loudest I’ve personally witnessed. My dad was right next to me and we couldn’t hear anything when trying to speak to each other. It felt like an earthquake once the gator kicker missed the FG attempt.

Was there and would agree. The crowd noise went to a drone as the Gators lined up for the FG try, I think everyone in the stadium expected it to be good (was a relatively short attempt) and we would go to another OT period. I was in that endzone and when the ball went what looked like wide left (right from my prospective) I remember looking at the officials to see if they confirmed what I thought I had just seen. Then as John Ward so famously said pandemonium did reign. I was only 4 or 5 rows up from the field and people began coming down in droves and going on to the field. I didn't join them but it was a hoot having what turned out to be a front row seat to the goal posts coming down. Was a great game for our defense, Florida got something like 3 points on 3 or 4 redzone trips late. Of the games I've seen in person that one, the 1983 Bama game in Birmingham we won on Johnny Jones run, and the 1986 Sugar Bowl are my all time favorites.

1992 Florida is an underrated loud game. Good mention. That place was loud and got louder the harder it rained.

That’s the most rowdy crowd I’ve been a part of. When Phillips to the short pass from Shuler to the house the place exploded.
I’ll never forget watching the student section shelling the Florida sideline with cups full of water.

2015 Oklahoma
2006 Cal

Underrated: late 3rd-early 4th quarter of 2021 Ole Miss, before the mustard bottle. A lot of hateful energy that night.

 

[zeppelin128]

24 Bama, both interceptions
04 Florida
15 Oklahoma for sustained noise

Honorable mention to 2013 Georgia. I wasn't at this game, but I have heard from several different folks that were in attendance that the blocked punt and touchdown were the loudest they had ever heard Neyland.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

I know they measure the decibels, but I wanna know what is the loudest you’ve ever heard Neyland???

The 1998 Arkansas game when we recovered the Clint Stoerner fumble.

 

[Kicker82]

2006 lsu on 4th down before Jamarcus Russell completed that 4th and 8 on their last drive which would lead to our last second loss…I have never heard neyland that loud.

 

[MurphyVol]

The game went terribly but 04 Auburn was pretty loud. Wish I was at the 15 Oklahoma game because that sounded on tv pretty intimidating

That game was rocking...for about half a quarter. May have been the worst game Ainge ever played in Neyland

 

[peaygolf]

This is the loudest I've ever heard Neyland...........and it ain't close.

iykyk...............

Wilhoit’s redemption 2004

For sure! We were in ZZ, I've never felt it sway as much as it did that night. It was CrAzY

That I've personally been to:

#1 - 1998 Florida
#2 - 2004 Florida
#3 - 1998 Arkansas
#4 - 2006 California

That I could hear and sense through the TV:

#1 - 2015 Oklahoma
#2 - 2022 Alabama

 

[CaliVol2009]

Auburn and Bo without a doubt. I was 16 and me a my buds lied to our parents and drove from Nashville to Knoxville. My parents where watching the game and saw us rushing the field. I never got into trouble for that. My Dad was so proud.

Great story! Go Vols!

 

[Sam I Am]

'98 Florida game.

 

[American_PitVol]

My ears rang for 3 days after 2015 Oklahoma. That was absolutely insane.

 

[Wireless1]

Loudest start to finish was OU in 2015, the largest Delta (quiet to loud) was Bama 2022, I think everyone was holding their breath until the officials signaled the FG was good.

 

[cdb88]

2015 Oklahoma the upper decks went to another level of sound like I've never heard before and I went to 98 ark and fla. 22 bama and fla 22 and fla this year.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

His 2nd half against Florida in 06 was bad too, especially 4th quarter

I forgot that I went to the 06 Cal game. Don't remember it being very loud, but I was in the nose bleeds. Not a fair comparison. Was on the 4th row for Wilhoit's game winner. That was bonkers.

 

[Frivolous]

#2 - 2001 Georgia - Travis Stephens screen pass at end of game to go ahead. Wall of noise that kept getting louder as he ran, felt upper deck sway more than I thought possible. Only time I've ever worried about safety being in the upper deck.

this play came to mind for me. Unfortunately a squib kick and the famed Chavis mustang defense made sure the jubilation didn’t last long.

 

[dentman23]

2015 OU by far

2016 Oklahoma game.

Err. ABC. I miss Gary Danielson. One of the best and most underrated color guys to call a game.

 

[Orangepantsforever]

We were in Z-12. Yeah it was loud, and that was the end of the kick too. Great night.
