Has Neyland lost some volume ?

[bleedorange0037]

In my opinion it was louder than 2006 Cal. Oddly enough I was sitting in almost the same part of the stadium for both games. But I’m with you, every able bodied man needs to do his part and stand and yell for the defense. To me it’s a privilege to get to be at Neyland and everyone should want to give their all or get the hell out.

Now that I think about it, the 3rd quarter of that game is probably the loudest I ever heard it. Even more than the end of UF a couple years earlier. The first half was already crazy loud, but it went to a whole other level with each successive TD right after halftime. Between it being the season opener, the late afternoon kickoff, the horrible way way 2005 had gone, the Cal QB talking **** about it not being loud beforehand, and how well we played, it was just the perfect storm.

Night games only pls

I know for a fact it's not as loud as it could be. Can't get people around me to yell. Needs to be sustained noise like Oklahoma game was for the big games. The wine and cheese crowd are hurting the atmosphere at all UT sports

That's kind of hard to maintain for 3+ hours when it's in the mid 90's and hotter than balls outside. Doesn't help all of our games have been day games.

You might be right

Yes, it's because of the trough removal.

They're still there

Need those dollars if you want to win.

Just a simple question, pal.
Wondered if the discussions I've heard had merit.
Personally, while I appreciate Danny White's efforts, I don't want to stray too far from our traditional values in the name of the dollar

Wonder if those saying it wasn't loud are starting to lose their hearing? Not being a smartass but those saying that are ones who say they were there for the games against Florida in 98 and 04, Oklahoma in 15, etc. If you've been to all those, you're starting to get up there.

Took 39 posts to beat me to it

Y'all on game today

Expose yourself to that level of noise, repeatedly, likely with little, no, or improperly applied hearing protection and "yep, 20 years ago it was a lot louder, I don't get these young 'uns anymore."



WHAT?!!

Can you completely walk around the top row of the stadium or does the press box block that possibility?
