A lot of what has do do with that is the structure of the stadium. The Big House is just a giant bowl that is not very tall but actually underground. Giant bowl stadiums like that are generally not the loudest but they deceptively hold a lot of people. Tiger Stadium would no doubt be the loudest stadium if we extended the upper deck kind of like at Neyland Stadium.
I don't think so. The lower bowl at Tiger Stadium is huge and very close to the field. It has been famously loud for decades and is probably already the loudest stadium. The sound just reverberates in a way that stadiums with open end zones don't. When the upper decks were added to Tiger Stadium it did not make the place appreciably louder on the field. The sound from up there just doesn't make itself heard as much.
Could be wrong but I thought the intent was to add an upper deck on the south endzone joining it with the east and west upper deck. However, the seats would be mostly in the form of some type of "suite". NE1 else hear this ?
I think it should be expanded to 100,000. LSU will have no problem getting 7,000 more butts in the stands. Maybe then freshmen could get tickets and the student section can go back to being larger like it use to be.
Let me say this. After standing in a packed student section the entire game and getting drenched, all the while staring at the east side of the stadium with a LOT of empty no-show seats, I don't wanna hear one damn word from Alleva or anyone else in the AD complaining about student attendance.
I was in the South Endzone, 4th row... we got soaked to all hell then had to ride the 3.5 hours back home with no change of clothes... I saw a report on tv that said Bama was going to have their stadium additions done by opening game 2010... their going to be the 5th biggest stadium in college football with a capacity exceeding 100,000 fans. I think we need to expand TS and try and keep up if we're going to continue bringing in top talent.
Right, kid. The population of Ohio is 11,485,910.... Meechigun is at 10,003,422. The Columbus metropolitan area has around 2 million people. Ann Arbor is a suburb in the Detroit metro area and has nearly 4 million people. The entire state of Louisiana has less than 4.5 million people and the metro Baton Rouge area has around 450,000. Judging by these numbers, having a regular 90,000+ crowd is quite a feat. Adding seats wouldn't make much sense any time soon.
Yep. This is my 2nd season out of the Student Section and I was jealous from my upper west seats at all the people still down there. Our section was pretty empty after half time, the student section meanwhile was still going strong. :tigereye:
