Loudest game at Neyland you attended

Attended a Chiefs home game in 2015 against the Chargers. On the Chargers opening drive when the QB walked up under center it was the loudest thing I have ever heard in any sports event and made any UT game I’ve attended sound like a golf match.

2008 Wyoming. It was so loud and clear that Fulmers firing was correct combined with the death screams of his career.

Definitely been to a lot of loud ones, probably the loudest in most recent memory was vs. Florida when Dobbs led the 2nd half comeback (‘16 I think), ‘04 Florida, ‘98 Florida & Arkansas games were pretty loud…

The 1994 Tennessee and Vanderbilt game. Players got into a fight after warmups before game. Debar do had said they were going to beat us. Tennessee won 65-0 . If Vanderbilt had won it would have kept them from a losing season for the first time in years. John Ward said after the game that it was the first time he had seen the players and fans play and yell 100% of an entire game…

Thankfully I got to my seat early that day…. But that was the ‘91 game. I was watching Dale Carter heading towards the locker room as he was the first player jogging that direction… right as he got to the back of the end zone some Vandy a-hole stepped over and shouldered him…. Then all hel broke loose. I remember seeing Aaron Hayden yanking a guy around by his face mask while punching him in the stomach lol… looked like a kicker. I can’t recall Vandy’s running back, but he was in contention to be the SEC’s leading rusher… on an early play their QB pitched it to him and he bobbled it and lost about 10 yards. It cost him the rushing title and Vandy tried to get the loss credited to the QB.
To top it off…. Conservative Johnny pulled a fake FG on them up 38-0… Shazzon Bradley got the td reception…. The crowd was chanting “Dee Nar Do!”…. What a douche he was

Definitely OU 2015! Couldn't talk for 3 days after! ...could be mistaken, but I thought we broke the decibel record at Neyland with that one?

Me too. My ears were ringing. I was under the overhang and the noise was deafening.

Though I can’t remember exactly, the 1970 game against Penn State was crazy too. But the stadium was quite a bit smaller then.

I agree with a lot of you, 98 Florida. From the 90s to the mid 2000s, it was like a one game season. Those Florida home games were just different, the crowds and the volume.

Arkansas '98. When the fumble happened, I couldn't hear my buddy right next to me talking. It was insane.

Oklahoma game for me. Was deafening from start to finish. Loudest singular moment was Florida 2016 whenever we took the lead. The hair on the back of neck raises up just thinking about it.

I wasn’t fortunate enough to go to any of the 90s games but I would assume Florida 1998 would be tops on the list, considering how they rushed the field and took the goalposts lol

Mine was the 2013 Georgia game when we blocked that punt that was about as loud as I can remember it ever getting at a home game that I’ve went to too bad we lost the game.

I think where your seats are can determine the loudest game. 1976 Bama v Tennessee was my loudest game. That 3rd Saturday game was on ABC as the weekly national game. The game hype had been amped up all week. The atmosphere was electric. We were sitting in K 4th row next to the Bammer locker room tunnel. The George Dickel was flowing (roommate from Tullahoma). The noise was especially numbing when the Bammers went into the locker room tunnel at half time. My ears were still ringing late that night. No sound came out of my mouth when I spoke until Sunday afternoon. The stadium only held 82,000 for that game. I went to games in Neyland in the 90s. Usually sat in the upper deck west stadium. GA game was very loud in a bigger stadium, but no where near as loud as the lower south bowl at the 76 Bama game. We lost 20-13, but the fans made it a day to forever remember.

2015 Oklahoma game. You couldn’t talk to the person next to you in the 2nd half. Stadium announcer said it hit a Neyland record 114 decibels. Later he said it broke the record again at 116 decibels.

I believe it was 2005 ..California game...i might be wrong with the year so good grief dont send me to trial over it lol ...from the words of the California coach he said that was the loudest stadium he had ever been to...his exact quote was "that thing was rocking last night"!

The home game against Oklahoma a few years ago. Had good seats down low.

I think they said it broke the loudest record or whatever that's called. It's been so long I forgot. Anyone remember if it did? And has that record been broken since then in a college stadium?
