Swamp, BDS, Kyle and JH always rock when the Tigers show up. Been to Swamp several times and it always lived up to its reputation, as did the Gainesville / campus po po. Tennessee is by far the most over rated stadium in the league. Watched games there in 1993 and 2001 when they were top 10. Noise was laughable at best. South Carolina is actually much louder. Georgia and Tennessee noise level is about the same. Only thing Tennessee has going for it is the location. The stadium itself and atmosphere are shite. Sanford is a better stadium , but noise and atmosphere are shite.

I played for UF and can tell you that there were several times when I told myself that I could not think, let alone hear. I've had actual ringing in my ears on occasion. Only thing louder for me has been sitting in front of giant speakers at a rock concert. I'll never do that ever again.

So true. We have a LOT of olddddd people. That's from winning over many generations. So it's hard to get those bastards to be super loud.

The Swamp is objectively loud af. Loudest stadium probably truly because of the acoustics.

Loudest fans? LSU fans by a wide fricking margin.

I've seen them in person one time. The Fulmer/Saban SECCG in Atlanta. LSU fans were outnumbered 5:1, and i swear to god they were 3x as loud. It was shocking.

In my experiences AU'S Jordan-Hare beats them all, hands down!

If you don't want to go deaf at JH. You had better get up 2-3 scores early and keep them from drawing any closer. Next is MSU, not because the crowd noise itself, but them God awful clanging cowbells will make you have nightmares. Will they ever stop!!
LSU'S Tiger Stadium is loud when you have a third and long or a 4th and very short. Near the endzones, especially close to the students sections, Late in the game with outcome on the line. Then your teeth will chatter at the sheer intensity of the noise level.
Just like JH, jump up early and keep a little breathing room between you and the tigers.

Texas A&M gets an honorable mention only when their team gets ahead or needs a stop. All the swaying is cool but not intimidating.

All the rest are about on even par. Except for Bryant-Denny, which is impossible to gauge since the Tide rarely loses or finds itself trailing in their home confines.

Don’t say that! You’re going to make the Florida fans insecure.

Loud enough for people in your fan base to mistake WiFi boxes for speakers pumping in crowd noise

Go find the exact time that tweet was posted. It was before the game even began. Good try though.

We MAY be able to make a claim for most passionate fanbase but I don't think you'll here any Bama Fan claiming we're the loudest. I am disappointed every year by the lack of noise we make at games. I think the loudest I've ever heard Bryant Denny was in 2005 Bama vs Florida....the stadium was rocking pretty much non-stop. I have season tickets and attend the majority of home games and we just can't compete when it comes to noise. We have a lot of OLD MONEY in seats that just don't have that energy level. Best thing our section has going is they help me hide my flagpole/flag that I wave after each touchdown as security walks by looking for me.

Bo Nix just said in an interview this week that the swamp is the loudest/most hostile place he has played.

Away Games he played in 2019:
Florida
LSU
Arkansas
A&M

2020 doesn’t really count so I won’t list those.

Bo also performed the worst at Florida. If you can give a scapegoat for bad performance, you’d use it.
