I went to doak when the sooners rolled in to town, by far the loudest stadium I have ever attended .
You need to go to more football games. Doak is built outward, not upward.
Unless your ears are particularly sensitive to the built of idiocy that is the tomahawk chop, you'll find it pales in comparison to other stadiums as far as crowd noise goes. Place isn't even in my top-10 as far as noisy stadiums I've been to.
What's the loudest?
Of the games i've been to?
Clemson anytime, Syracuse in 1998 was deafening, but it's a dome, so it's kind of cheating, the Swamp gets louder than Doak. Then you have places like Tennessee, Penn State, Oklahoma based on size alone, but generally their fans aren't always as 'active' as others. As much as I hate to say it, because to me it's often overstated, but they do a great job at Lane Stadium. Heard from other UM fans Washington and Texas ***-to-Mouth were loud. Never been to LSU, but I've been told that trumps everything.....Oh, and the OB when it was packed at night is my sentimental pick.
Honestly, a lot of it is in the stadium's construction. Doak doesn't have a second deck, and, like I said, it's built more outward than upwards, keeps it from getting as loud as others.
What's funny is, with it's bowl shape and closed construction, the concrete monstrosity known as Slum Life wouldn't be that bad, noise-wise, if it wasn't built as a multi-purpose POS with seats far away from the field. If anyone ever invents a shrink ray, they need to hit that ***** and get it down to about 80% of it's current size, throw a roof on it, and it'd be noisy as ****.
