Not just saying this because we won, but the atmosphere tonight was tremendous. Tailgating was great, whether was perfect, and the crowd was loud and in force from the opening kickoff and never faltered.

The 4th quarter was the loudest I've heard that stadium since the 2010 Alabama game. I couldn't hear myself think when Kelly fumbled.

On TV they said the stadium was literally shaking in the 4th.

NWA > LR

Can't wait to see how loud it will get with the full bowl.

I called my wife after leaving the stadium and she mentioned the same thing. It was 100% true -- I was in 502 (upper deck) and it felt like an earthquake several times.

It should be at least 10-15% louder...it's just incredible how much noise escapes that endzone.

Yep, been saying this for years. The stadium is so vertical that it's conducive to keeping noise in, but having that damn NEZ open allows a lot of noise out.

I was hoping when they announced the final plans for the NEZ expansion that they'd figure some way to make the enclosure more vertical in order to create a true bowl effect.

First time since the expansion that I've ever felt the stadium shaking. That last drive was incredibly wild inside.

Yeah I wish they'd make it a true bowl too but it would probably add way too many seats...I still say that if we put canopies or an over hang on the upper deck similar to Centurylink or new Kyle Field along with the New NEZ we'd have one of the 3 or 4 loudest stadiums in football.

Still a big open gap there on the right..but damn I'll take it

I'm convinced it was someone for WMS sabotaging it

117 decibels on the 4th down. Similar to sand blasting hard rock concrete.

There was a time during the 4th where it was literally shaking the camera. It was visibly loud.

Wish we'd use these home games against ranked SEC opponents to load up on official visitors instead of bringing them in during the winter in January.

You can't replace the experience of a rocking crowd and a tight game.
