That game was insane. I was sitting on the upper deck and it was the loudest thing I've ever heard at any point in my life.

Just wanting to know. Who measured the sound at those games? I didnt know they kept that on record at UT.

There are instruments that were installed in Neyland Stadium in the last decade, added to measure the decibel levels / noise levels during games.

The loudest moment I have ever heard live. An old lady jumped in my arms after that kick.

I have been to Arrowhead many times and had never heard it as loud as Neyland that night.

Well, with Stoops comments of not worrying about Neyland Stadium. I wonder if this can motivate us to make it very loud on Saturday?

Ive been going Neyland Stadium since 1982. The crowd at Neyland will never break the world record. HECK iVE BEEN AT THE GAME AND THE OLD FELLOW SLEPT MOST OF THE GAME THAT SIT NEXT TO ME. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BABY SLEEP AT NEYLAND WELL I HAVE. SO THERES NO WAY WE EVER BREAK ANYTHING. SOME PEOPLE COME TO THE GAME TO LOOK PRETTY. SO NO WE WILL NEVER BREAK ANY SOUND RECORDS.

At the Georgia game two years ago, I thought it was loud--but then it got louder--then it got even louder.

It definitely disrupted them. I will be disappointed if the same isn't accomplished Saturday.

Sure didn't set a good tone in Nashville. I was reatedly standing up and encouraging folks to get up and cheer. Maybe cooler and overcast weather will help. We are the 12th man and will make the winning difference this Saturday. The play fans don't cheer is the one that'll bite us in the rear. GO VOLS! And...Hope DeBoard has a play for OL to shut Striker up.

In my experience telling a Tennesseean they can't do something only motivates them to try even harder just to prove them wrong. I'm willing to bet if a message was displayed on the jumbotron during this game doubting the crowds ability to break it then by God volnation would give their all to break that record.

Tennesseans are the most warrior like people in the country.

Someone just needs to be brave enough to ask Paul Bain to speak. If he does, we will shatter any such noise level record. IMO , would be worth the human sacrifice. Unfortunately, I will not be there with you all this weekend, so someone give your all to Paul!

Actually, it's the fans, not the architecture. Anyone that experienced the rowdiness of Neyland 25 years ago will tell you that! It's a shell of itself thanks to the spoiled fans.

There used to be much booing yelling heckling bottle, cup, ice, and fruit throwing along with fights and much more Jack Daniels! The stadium just doesn't smell the same (

I was asked to sit down probably 5 times by the lady behind me. My buddy who was with me is huge.... Strong man competition huge... So he turns to the ladies husband and politely says "Are you going to tell her to STFU or do I need to? If you want to sit during the biggest rivalry game then I'm sure your couch would be a nice place to go." Of course we were a little drunk but at least the lady shut up.

As simple as it may sound, if EVERY fan had a thick piece of paper/cardboard...something like a game program, in hand > rolled it up in a cone shape and used it as an impromptu loudspeaker...the volume would doubled.

Think about it. Imagine if you are sitting in the farthest possible seat and yell. The person standing in the middle of the field might not hear much, but use an impromptu cone to direct your voice toward that person, it would be much clearer and more audible. Now multiply that by about 95,000 and coaches ears would be ringing and could probably even feel the sound-waves.

As a Seahawks fan, I've been to many games in Seattle. It's very loud, but Neyland can be much louder as I've experienced. If we all tried and we put up the noise level on the jumbotron, we could EASILY beat the world record.

I agree. Personally, I will be disappointed if I have my voice back before the following Saturday after the OU game

Last season a cheerleader was using a device that determines the decibel level (not sure what it is called). We registered about 106 decibels and the stadium was fairly loud. I don't think we are going to beat the 140 decibel record unless the stadium is redesigned... It would be nice to have that record though.

Buy a drink in the plastic cup, drink it, now that it's empty, cut the bottom of the cup off, now you have a Mini maga phone(VOL CALL).

It's not about numbers guys its about the design of the stadium..

“The main thing that creates noise is any type of overhanging structure that reflects sounds back into the stadium,” says Andrew Barnard, a research associate at Penn State‘s Applied Research Laboratory, specializing in structural acoustics. What’s more, Seattle’s stadium has two additional overhangs, functioning as the bottom of the upper seating bowl, that cover the lower seating bowls. “Sound also reflects off the bottom of the upper deck, and back onto the field,” says Barnard.

The curves on these canopies are also key. “They are large parabolas,” says Bill Stewart, managing partner at SSA Acoustics, which is based in Seattle. Stewart was responsible for measuring the record-setting noise on Sunday night. “The curvature and angles of the canopies act to focus the sound energy onto the playing field, producing higher noise levels.”

Neyland has an over hang between upper and lower bowl... Sounds from that article that we got what it takes...

Be cool if they could put a real time decibel meter on the jumbotron during some of the big moments in the game and fans could see how loud they were getting as it compared to the record.

Please just stop. If everyone in the stadium yelled their loudest at the same time it would break any record.

You stop. You sound like an obtuse buffoon. What you believe or think do mean anything in the face of evidence and math.

I don't know why your inner child has a problem with just enjoying how loud it will be without some cornball world record BS.

Do you also think if you try as hard as you can that you can blow away a tornado? You just gotta believe.
