Has Neyland lost some volume ?

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.

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.

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.

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?!!

Season tickets. Same section. It's as loud as it's always been for the big games. UGA was Neyland loud. If I'm not looking directly at my wife she can't hear a damn thing coming out of my mouth. And I'm talking during the play on D. Not pre-snap

I was in the lower bowl. It was not as loud as I thought it would be for GA. However, I will say i think the heat/time of day affected it. Sitting in the heat, in direct sun absolutely affected my crews ability to scream. Lightheaded was mentioned a few times. I think it would have been very different with a night game. It was loud, just not Neyland at Night loud.

I know I had to stop shouting a few times because i needed to breathe. I don’t feel that out of shape, but definitely don’t have the stamina that I had before getting COVID several times.

And have to walk around to get to the other side of the stadium now.

I was so disappointed when trying to walk to other restrooms only to find the area under the west skyboxes blocked off by doors. That was something I absolutely hated about Alabama’s stadium in the 2000’s and now it’s at Neyland.

I think we have just become more deaf as time, and games, affect our aging ears. The decibel meter was pegged at record levels, as announced by the TV crew.
