Stadium decibel levels

[CPVOL]

Breaking the record won't happen. Lots of Bama fans will be there

The ones born and raised in Tennessee are the best. Ones that claim they were Bama fans since the 80’s and has nothing to do with them winning every trophy possible for a decade +

140 can cause pain in the ear and irreversible damage. Seriously, take ear plugs this Saturday just in case. I’m deaf in one ear due to my military service and it’s absolutely irritating when you can’t hear because of hearing loss. I really don’t watch TV much anymore because there’s no use in watching what you can’t hear. Even turned up I can make out only about 50 to 60% of the what they’re saying.

Gotta turn CC on. I use it, but I'm not that hard of hearing. It just seems that even with a good sound bar it's hard to understand what's being said.

Tennessee breaks decibel record as Neyland Stadium roars against Georgia

Tennessee broke the decibel record against Georgia.

www.saturdaydownsouth.com

"Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium is the new record holder for the college football decibel record.
During the Vols’ game against Georgia on Saturday (Nov 2023), Tennessee fans reached 137 dB, breaking the old decibel record of 133.6 at the 1992 Washington-Nebraska game."


At the Florida game last week, as we were screaming and stomping along with other Vol faithful, the decibel level displayed on the Jumbotron got as high as 126 dB.
But there were some knotheads not contributing even one peep of noise to the effort.
Let's break our own 137 dB record against Bama on Saturday.

We won't be able to able to be there against Bama, but would love to hear reports from anyone watching the Jumbotron on what the displayed decibel levels get too.

Go Vols!

Kalen DeBoer said he was in loud stadiums at Washington. He said it will not make that much difference at Neyland

The more special seats for rich people they put in Neyland, the quieter it will be.

My wife has always used CC, at first I gave her **** about it, but now im not sure I could go back. Especially for movies...I do find for live events though they completely botch the words

I still dont think the fanbase has reached the effort it gave in that 2016 Oklahoma game. It was unbelievably loud even when we were on offense. Crazy game.

Greatest stadium atmosphere I've ever witnessed from sitting in front of the TV. You didn't even need to be in the stadium to know that environment was special.

I wish this was tracked more reliably. My ears were still ringing on Monday like after an indoor rock concert. Not sure if we approached the record we set last year but it was fairly consistently loud for a good portion of the game.

Everytime this topic comes up I instantly think back to ‘98 Florida….. what a memory - that was the loudest game ever. The Cal game was off the charts - the anger and release was palatable- - as was OU. Then Bama 22 was unreal as well…. But that ‘98 Florida game…. Man, I couldn’t talk at all at work Monday.
We had 10,000 more fans in there, so it’ll never be topped- but I hope we can get close Saturday night!!! I suspect we will - hell, I know we will- even the old farts hate Bama with an unbridled passion!
Let’s Go Neyland - Get loud, and then GET LOUDER!

I always ask the people behind me if they can see. I want to enjoy the game yet respectful of those who can’t or won’t stand. So I would try that next game. It’s amazing how people react when one tries to be nice (not saying you weren’t).

Society is angry and the world is going bonkers so I try to be the light though I fail often.

I’m 53 yrs old and beginning to have arthritic issues. But i do as best as I can and stand parts of the game. I also yell usually hoarse after games.

We shouldn’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t stand or yell. But they shouldn’t get angry for someone yelling or standing.

Go Vols!

We came to a compromise. Still would have preferred to stand the whole game. The other thing I noticed seems that the more rabid fans have been priced out and replaced with a more docile type fan.

I have one child that I can hear everything.

One that doesnt speak, and when she does mumbles.

And a 5 yo. Has his own language.

It's frustrating. Worst is being in a restaurant, might as well forget it.

I hate to burst everyone’s bubble but those things are accurate on the Jumbotron. I saw it hold around 120 last week as the crowd got quiet

Regardless. Let’s be loud tomorrow

The games are a drunk fest.

I stand, and yell. And can afford tickets.

I just refuse to pay to go to a bar. Ironically I can go TO a bar and have a much more
civilized experience.

Took my 85 yo Dad to SC-TN Baseball game. First game we'd been to together in 25 years. He said campus was unrecognizable. Had such an unbelievable experience. It will be hard to go to a football game after that.

Baker Mayfield still talks about it

Same.

2004 got loud after the FG went in. Stadium was physically shaking... Ahhh the fond memories

Super loud. For my money, 2001 Travis Stephens screen pass against UGA is the only other time I've felt the upper deck shake like that. Also the only time I thought, for just a few moments, that I wasn't safe being in the upper deck of the stadium.
