He shouldn't be. A&M lost twice at home last year. Bama hasn't lost on the road since 2010.

If you have followed football long enough you have likely read many articles about loudest stadiums. While the lists vary as you would expect. Florida, LSU and A&M have been the most consistent. My personal experience agrees.

The point of the article is it was so loud the QB could not get plays called. The refs tried to quiet the crowd unsuccessfully so the gave extra time to the QB.

and no you don't have to take some random guys opinion, just read the article. DeLoss Dodds comment that he was going to bring up the problem of A&M's crowd noise as an issue.

That is like Nick Saban wanting to bring up safety of the Hurry up.

If you don't know who Dodds is, Google it. Its not a random fan.

So not only is KF louder than anywhere else in the SEC but it is hotter as well. Interesting.

Do you guys have piss cannons instead of piss balloons?

THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN IN 1985!

And I don't know what the capacities of Big 12 stadiums were in 1985, but currently - 8 out of the 10 teams' stadiums hold fewer than 65,000 fans.

Big frickin' whoop. Of course Texas is going to think it's unfair that 77,000 fans are screaming when all they're used to playing in front of on the road is 50,000 - and just a few short years earlier, teams were penalized for excessive crowd noise.

The big bad University stadiums of the Southwest Conference in 1985 - which for some reason never rustled Texas' jimmies:

Baylor
Rice
Oklahoma State
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Oklahoma

What else would you expect me to say? Your boy posted an article from 1985 to prove that Texas A&M's stadium gets loud? Come on now...

Ha. The very first article on loudest stadiums search. #1 LSU, #2 Oregon, #3 Florida, #4 A&M. It would be impossible for me to have been more correct.

quote:

Kyle Field is home to the 12th man and it is called that for a reason. The fans inside this stadium believe that they can truly make a difference on the field and use every last ounce of energy trying to do so.

Loudest Stadiums

Now that the Aggies are in the SEC, a new set of teams will find out how difficult it is to play on the road against Texas A&M.


1985 was not that long ago for some of us on this board. We were not running around with Leather Helmets. That is around the time of LSU Auburn EarthQuake game. A&M was plenty big. and loud as shite.

Isn't it nap time for some of you?

I mean that's what happens when you hype up one game like that.

It's funny seeing all you plainsmen riding on daddy's nuts these days. I guess finishing last in every major men's sports will do that to you.

LSU, Florida and A&M are generally considered the loudest venues. When A&M encloses and ads 20,000 it will be the loudest, if not tied at the least with LSU.


bullshite. You'll never be as loud as Death Valley on a Saturday. Death Valley on a Sat night is legendary. A&M is beneath LSU in every aspect of CFB.

You must be in high school if you think Oklahoma State and OU were in the SWC. Gumps have possibly the worst collective knowledge of any fan base I have ever seen.
