That 30k people right over the 50 are louder than whatever miniscule number of students y'all boast backed away in the corner of the end zone? Why is the burden of proof on me?

Our student section is like 5 or 6 times larger than the swamp kittens. List is invalid.



LSU students sit in one contiguous block. aTm has students on 3 separate decks.

Bama has theirs split too, and I think Auburn does along with UGA. Its a terrible way to do things IMO.

Auburn never gets enough respect on these stadium/atmosphere lists. That place is an unbelievable atmosphere for a CFB game. Shits all over Bama games, that's for sure.

We have way too many students to put them on one deck. Sorry your students don't care enough to show up

Centered on the 50 stretching the length of the field. What do decks have do with it? If it wasn't overhang, the yelling would he further from the field?

because you claimed the tackle box was louder, genius, which contradicts years and years of "loudest stadium" lists with LSU at the top.

You say that like they're in Siberia, which I guess makes sense since the end zone at "old" Kyle was in a straight line behind the back-line. TS isn't designed like that. The end zones are on top of the action. The LSU Student section goes from the 15-behind the goal posts.


aTm students are more focused on getting their yells right than they are on being loud. I've sat in the section. It wasn't very loud, and it never had that almost "unhinged" quality that is unnerving for a visiting fan in the way I've seen Auburn, LSU, Florida, and Bama.

Didn't go to the game. Can't speak for the 12th Man that day. It isn't a perfect student section, but it is far larger, more organized, and louder on average than any in the country based on proximity and size alone. How can that even be debated? We give up half of our most valuable seats to students. No other AD takes that kind of loss. How big is Auburn's student section? Does it come close to approaching 30k?

It was full but I was expecting more.

Our enrollment is under 30k so I doubt it.

OT, but ND gives their students pretty incredible seats.

I think you are getting lost on an important aspect. One you have even probably told yourself in the bedroom

Please don't turn a perfectly good thread into a LSU/A&M fight

That is probably true in some cases. It is hard to compete with the noise level of a drunk cajun.
