I do enjoy listening to Sandstorm in the 4th quarter when there are 10,000 people in the stadium.

Ole Miss had one of the worst stadium atmospheres in the SEC before Kiffin but it’s a completely underrated now. Ole Miss has only lost 2 home games the past three seasons under Kiffin.

LSU, Auburn, and Florida (when UF is good) are the three loudest and none of the others are really even close

Alabama and Texas may be more quiet than they'd like, but corporations buying up all the tickets and the old people sitting on their hands, it's hard to get them as loud as they used to be.

My experience in 43 years of watching SEC football, LSU at night in a big game is the loudest. But it can be silent at times also. Florida Field in Spurrier era and Auburn were tremendously loud.

South Carolina last played in Texas in 1957; is that the last time you were in Austin?

DKR is noticeably louder since they enclosed the south end zone.

AUSTIN, Texas — When it comes to big college football games, Alabama linebacker Will Anderson Jr. has seen a thing or two. Despite having played in two College Football Playoff National Championship Games, Anderson said that Saturday's game at Darrell K Royal-Memorial Texas Stadium was the toughest game that he's ever played.

"To be honest, since I've been here these last three years, this is probably the loudest environment I've played in." Anderson said. "Probably the hardest game I've played in since I've been in college football. Their fans were super loud, they had a lot of energy. But the atmosphere was crazy."

Overrated? I've never seen DKR rated highly when it comes to crowd noise or atmosphere. We have sort of a hybrid NFL/College type environment that isn't as sterile as the former or as traditionally rowdy as the latter.

Crowd noise has gotten considerably louder since they semi-enclosed the SEZ, but still not like the stadiums that give the sound nowhere to go but straight up.

Our game atmosphere also depends on opponent just like everyone else...and can be surprisingly loud when someone good comes to Austin, especially a night game.

This is just based on personal experience and input from friends that have been to other stadiums.
