Neyland decibel level

#5
#5
There was a post about a month ago that had about a dozen quotes from opposing players in the past. They all described Neyland as the loudest most intense environments they were ever in. These were all big name players like Baker Mayfield, etc. Neyland is second to none. Even the Vandy announcer (Jorden whatever his name is) calling the game spoke of it often during the game last night.

It's good to know that the fans really can help the team.

Whatever the little decibel machines say, I've been to a lot of big home games, and for my money, the loudest game I can ever recall was 2015 Oklahoma. I've been to a lot of loud games, but something about that Oklahoma game, it was great weather and the crowd showed up hungrier and noisier than I've ever seen. Those fans willed Tennessee the whole day through. That said, I was unable to attend Alabama last year, so someone could tell me that Bama game was louder and I'd have to shrug and say "well okay then."

The loudest single moment though belongs to Travis Stephens taking that screen pass to the house against UGA in 2001. I know we lost the game, I know it's the "Hobnail Boot," but the way the crowd realized Stephens had room to run, and their roar grew and grew as he ran it to the endzone, it was an eruption. It was unlike anything I've ever seen there. I've felt the upper deck sway before, but that was the only time I was actually concerned about the structural integrity of the stadium. Neyland shook like I'd never felt her shook before or since. If there was a decibel record to set, I've got to believe that play set it.

Bama game was not as loud as OU.

I don’t trust our decibel meter. It jumps around too much. 114 db sustained crowd noise, nothing changes …..now down to 101 db, back to 116 db, so on, and so forth.

I think it’s just a gimmick to get folks to yell louder. Mission accomplished. And perfectly fine.

Highest I saw last night was 116-117.

The loudest single moment I can remember was 2013 against Georgia. The blocked point and subsequent return for a TD. We didn't win, but that was a wild moment.

I was in there for that one. It had been a long while since Neyland rocked like it did that day. Best game Butch ever coached.

Was this the game that Pig fumbled into the endzone?

That was by far the loudest game I had been to. I made the mistake of drinking a lot of crown royal before the game and I remember it was really hot that day. It didn't mix well at all.

I started throwing up with like 50 seconds left in the game and ended up in a first aid station. I watched the rest of the game from there unfortunately. They tried to tell me to keep calm in there but it wasn't happening.

I just remember it being so loud that my chest was vibrating.

I will say 2004 Florida with the record crowd and the game-winning kick was the loudest I’ve ever heard it. Obviously, it wasn’t sustained noise, but dang I had a headache. I went out on the bridge for about an hour and just took it all in. Ears still rang as I was driving home

That was really loud! We high fived everyone in our section after that kick.

Loudest I've heard was Bama in the early 90s. Back then the upper deck stayed seated and stomped their feet.
Not sure why that stopped being a thing, it was deafening.

Someone get on their Twitter account or whatever the thing is now and get this going again. My seats are in BB and we are all standing the whole game.

It would be much louder if a lot of people would holler, I was begging people around me, they just stood there. I still don't have no voice.

There will always be a few around you that act like they are catching a new episode of The Twilight Zone in 1960.

I've seen ~125 on the scoreboard so I assumed that was the record.
