Same. You have to be doing quite swell to be a season ticket holder in Tiger Stadium because TAF will have your balls in a vice.

Don't help him. I love letting Aggy run wild with their delusions of grandeur. It's hilarious.

I'd rather see a crowd of loud drunks than yelling homos.

I'm interested in that statement as well considering only the top %5 of this country makes over 700k.

Kyle Field is the steepest stadium in the conference in terms of angulation with ground level. Its actually pretty unsafe IMO, Ive tripped and almost fallen several times and olds have a lot of trouble getting up the steps.

The angle of seats really doesnt effect sound much and most older stadiums are concrete structures. Moreover, Tiger stadium wasnt "designed" for sound, it was built in poeces over decades like most college stadiums.

it wasn't designed for that purpose, never said it was, but the loudness is a bi-product of what they ended up with

the angle of the seats combined with what the structure is made of and the shape of said structure absolutely affects the sound. LSU is essentially a steep concrete bowl. Kyle, conversely, is a steel structure that is more rectangular in shape

How many games have you attended this year?


I will never go out of my way to travel West of Fayettechill. However, there is just a vast difference between Kyle and the likes of Death Valley, the Swamp, Vaught-Hemmingway, Samford, BDS, Jordan Hare, and Neyland.

You'll just never be associated with those coliseums or their fanfare (exclude Vaught from said coliseum). The atmosphere of Kyle is just too tame for the SEC

Honestly, the loudest games I remember were the Iron Bowls at Legion Field... maybe it was because I was young, or because of the fact it was packed with both Auburn and Bama fans all in close proximity to each other. Either way, those still seem to be the loudest games I've been to.

I don't miss that POS stadium, but that atmosphere was pretty fricking awesome.

They give tickets away free with a Redbox rental.

Tiger stadium at night against a good team is the loudest I've heard, but they also have a lot more drunk degenerates than we do. A large portion of our older fans are actual alumni with high six and seven figure incomes who dont yell much. The average salary of the west side second deck is around 700k. Those people just arent gonna make much noise.



Sorry for partying

I live in Houston with my Bama fan wife and we both agreed that the effort to get to podunk wasn't worth it to see a game that will be competitive for maybe a half.
