Crowd noise

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Hoping to hear from someone at the game. How loud was the crowd noise? On the television, early in the game, one of the ABC cameras was getting bounced around from what appeared to the noise in the stadium. At one point, the sideline reporter said the crowd had reached 108db but shortly after that, the crowd noise started to become a non-factor.

I watched on tv and a few times the camera was noticably moving from the noise, those metal awnings must really redirect the noise onto the field.

The "Go Big Red!" chant was pretty loud several times...

Loudest stadium I have been in. I sat under the overhang on the 20. Behind the Huskers. Washington fans had earplugs. I had a headache after the game.

The structure of the building is the cause for this, NOT the Washington fans.

 

Had a great time. Great view, but stadium needs to be updated.

 

GBR!!!!

The shaking of the camera was ridiculous. I could not stand it, almost made the game unwatchable. That and the camera angle was so far removed from the field.

They are tearing it down at the end of 2011. In 2012 the Huskies will play at Qwest Field and should have a new stadium sans track in 2013.

 

The overhangs should still be there as it is a mark of most of the stadiums in the area because of the rain. Even High School stadiums have the awnings over the stands.

Yeah, it was that loud. Im a musician who plays loud music for a living and I had to wear earplugs during the game. The fans were loud - it wasnt all the stadium. You combine intense fans with a metal overhang that makes the sound reverberate back onto the field - and you have a recipe for a loud stadium.

A few times?

I just thought it was funny that that ugly espn B**** with the db meter didn't come on camera to give us a reading in the second half....

We took the crowd out of it literally, heard they were starting to leave in the 3rd quarter.

The did leave I believe after Martinez' 80 yd scamper down the sideline. Later in the game if the camera angle was just right you could see how empty the stadium was.

[HuskerFreakz]

The loudest stadium I've been in as well. Fans were great in our section 28, even better after it got outa hand.

I was told they are going to lower the field 15-20 feet, and adding club level and upgrading the overhang on the south side not tearing anything down.

I got chills too, I couldn't believe the anouncers didn't mention it. How rare is it that you can here a visting teams chant on tv, after the last two touchdowns the GO BIG RED chants were clear as day.

During the Neb third down attempts in the first and early second quarters, it was probably the loudest its been since the Apple Cup or win over Oregon in 2003. I was in the Tyee section on the 45 and even the older folks were standing and yelling. The USC upset last year did not have the same energy or atmosphere. The UW fanbase is taking nano steps in some of the basics of fandom, as there has been little to cheer about for six ridiculous years.
