Tiger Stadium noise levels a myth...

The atmosphere of a college stadium or noise made by it's fans can't be measure by a team's record. The greatest, loudest, craziest stadiums in the nation will never overcome the performance of a bad team and LSU had plenty of those over the past 15 years.

 

If the crowd noise determined who won or lost, USC would never win a game. (unless you count their band playing the same irritating song after EVERY SINGLE DOWN as crowd noise).

 

You talking about this one (sing the words to it):

Thissss is the only song we know......it's the only song we knowwwwwww


Thissss is the only song we know.....it's the only song we knowwwwwww


over and over and over and over and over....at least Tiger Band does different songs for every down

 

I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I can't stand to watch USC. That same sound going on and on and on and on...drives me absolutely bonkers.

 

I have to mute the broadcast for the USC games after about 5 minutes. What's funny is all they do on their own forums is brag about how great their band is. The other song they play non-stop is the cliche "duh-duuuuh-duh - HEEYYY!" song which I can't think of the name right now. Combine that with the ass kissing announcers like last season and you've got one irritating football game.

 

As a realist, I don't expect fans or teams to come into Tiger Stadium and be completely shaking in their boots, or the team doing that either. But these fans that blow off Tiger Stadium noise and intensity are just talking out their @ss. I talked to a couple of UGA fans after our game with them last year, and they told me that they have never experienced the home field advantage that was supported by the crowd noise as they did at that game. I've been to two other stadiums in my lifetime so far: I went to an Ole Miss game in Jackson, which the fans were comparatively loud. I also went to the Swamp in Gainesville. The fans get loud at other venues, but loud only for a play. Then the noise dies down until another good play happens. At LSU, it's one continuous "rooarrrrrrr" of noise that picks up in volume during snaps. This may be me being a homer, but there's something intangible about Tiger Stadium that can't be proven or written about, and some people will never understand that until they come and experience it firsthand (like the UGA fans did last year).
