So yesterday at the Seahawks-49ers game, Seattle broke the Guinness World record for "loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium" with a reading of 131.9 decibels about the same as:
A military jet take-off from aircraft carrier with afterburner at 50 ft (130 dB)
or working with a jackhammer (130 dB)
Pretty impressive but CenturyLink Field is only 67,000 people. 11 SEC stadiums are bigger. So which stadiums do you think would could break this record this year?
Mine in order of capacity:
Bryant-Denny Stadium
Sanford Stadium
Tiger Stadium
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
Jordan-Hare Stadium
Kyle Field
I think those Stadiums have a legit shot at breaking the record, only reason I left off Neyland Stadium is where the program is right now, dont think the fans can get hyped enough.

We fell short.

I've been to Bama, quiet as shite. Pom Poms don't make that much noise.

WIlliams Brice, the moment we take away clemson's shot at a BCSCG.

Jimmies. They will be rustled.
It's a poorly kept secret that Seattle also pipes in noise ala Clemson

Yeah. We tried a few years back. It's just not loud enough at Kyle. Most likely it's due to the structure design.
We're fixing it.
The others probably would easily.

Stadium capacity doesn't necessarily mean a louder crowd. I'll put The Swamp, Tiger Stadium, and A&M above Carolina and Bama's

I wasn't at the game last night to compare, but I don't see how it could physically be possible for a crowd to be louder than it was for mauck to skyler green in 03.

Neyland would have a shot when we were good. Late 90's early 2000's

With or without cowbells?

CenturyLink Field is loud due to location and architecture. I'm sure their fans are passionate, but no more so than SEC fans.

if im not mistaken...Tiger Stadium actually held the record at one point
ETA: CBS recorded 130 dbs in 2007 against Florida. i believe the exact number was 129.8

None has a shot unless and until they build one of those tin roof overhangs that bounces sound back down toward the field, thus magnifying the noise level.

Current Kyle? No. Next year though it will be enclosed with 109k, it would be interesting if the Guinness folks come out for the LSU game if it is on TDay Night as expected. I could see that breaking the record.
The big advantage A&M has is the 31k students in prime seating. All that noise projects straight on the field. You don't really hear it though currently if you are in the End Zone or on the far side where the visiting seats are.

If I could, I would make a significant bet on A&M breaking the sound record in 2 years.
We are adding 20,000 seats, have the largest student section in the country (everyone knows students account for most of the noise), our stadium will finally be enclosed (right now, it is not conducive to keeping noise in), and there will be shade awnings on both the East & West Stand which will have even a greater impact on keeping noise in the stadium.
If you look at the current configuration of Kyle field, its amazing its as loud as it is. The south endzone is completely open and the NE and NW corners are open as well. There is nothing keeping even remotely beneficial to making that stadium loud other than there being 85,000 people there.
