I will say 25k is ten thousand lower than what I would call impressive, but maybe yall have some badass yells to make up for it.
Soooooo, is the UF's student section all synchronized? Do they know about a dozen cheers that are practiced weekly and all of the 25k can chant together in unison on gameday? Does you student section have a cheer for almost any situation (bad call, hurt player, etc) that all of those 25k students do at once?
25K makes it one of the largest in the country. Larger than Penn State, Nebraska, etc.
I think A&M has a great student section and it is very unique, but A&M fans seem to think this is a question with only one answer. Synchronized chants are great, but there are other ways to be effective. Yes, there are dozens of cheers and songs UF students are supposed to know, but more than anything from a pure noise disruption standpoint they are certainly among the best.

Yells aren't why Kyle Field is loud. We don't do yells during the plays, everyone yells AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA or whatever else they want when we're on defense. That's when it's loud.

Agreed. Penn State is close, but yall blow away the corn. I would give Penn State a slight advantage over yall personally as I think "white out" is the coolest synchronized crowd event in college football. But that is my opinion.

I think that is fair depending on the question. We are the "biggest" but we might not be the "best" and I can admit that.
Honestly there is an argument to be made that we take it too far. Due to our prioritizing the student section we will never lead the SEC in total revenues and we are limiting the space for big donors. We are lucky we can afford to do that, but it does hold us back a little.
And then there is the truth that at the end of the day A&M can have the best student section and the best gameday traditions in the nation but until we will a few national titles we will never be known as a program with "great traditions." The only tradition that really matters in this game is holding up that vagina trophy.
