The game tonight was the loudest ever

[BAMA1979]

2005 Florida is the loudest game I have been to. I thought it was louder than the LSU game. I guess a lot of it has to do with where you sit though.

I watched it on TV & thought the crowd noise was dissappointing. Didn't seem loud to me except when Javier ran the punt back. It seemed everytime they would pan the camera & show the crowd, Bama fans were not even cheering, just standing around.

I've had season tickets for several years now and I must say that was THE LOUDEST game i've ever been to at Bryant Denny. I applaud our fans for finally stepping up and getting loud when it was necessary

I don't understand why this comment gets made after every big home game. It wasn't loud for UT two weeks ago? For GA? It wasn't loud when Bama went up on Arkansas, and then when they came back and won the game?

Granted, it didn't get very loud at last year's games; but what do you expect? Look at who they played at home and what was happening on the field.

In 2005, the big home games were FL, UT, and LSU. From my seats, it got pretty DARN LOUD during those games.

I can recall comments from DuBose, Franchione, Shula, AND Saban about how great the crowd was for particular games in B-D. Over the years since we've started playing all games in Tuscaloosa, players have made the same comments.

Compare it to other schools all you want; but it falls on deaf ears with me. If it's a big game, it's loud in B-D. Anyone recall the look on Urban Meyer's face when B-D rocked back and forth with Rammer Jammer? People say that Florida is one of the rowdiest crowds in the country. That look on Meyer's face tells you how loud it gets in Bryant-Denny.

Off my soapbox now . . .

It was VERY loud, esp at appropriate times. In fact, my voice is still in BDS!

It was loud. Read the posts of the people who were there vs trusting CBS. It was louder than any game I've been at including 2005 Florida and the 1993 Sugar Bowl.

Was it loud the entire game? No. That's impossible. Even the vaunted "Death Valley" can't sustain full volume for 4.5 hours. But was it loud when LSU had the ball - yes. Very. Look at the tape and watch when Flynn had to check off and how they used hand signals and relayed communication to the wideouts.

Glad to hear it. Like others have said it sounded loud at times but didn't seem as loud as some of the other games this year.
Anyhoo, I figured it was the lousy CBS broadcast.

The game was loud but.... MSU 99 was the loudest at BDS I have been to and i have had season tix since 92. The sound level never droped off not even during time outs. Florida 05 was just as loud at times but would drop and then rise again, you could feel it in your chest and ears. Moving the band back to the corner would help get the noise factor back up.

CBS gives no credit to the crowd, because like it has been said the commentators are in a closed in box and they try to keep the noise out, and as for the sideline commentator she would've been the one to get fan noise, but they could easily maneuver around us, by talking when we had the ball. BDS was LOUD! I sit in EE on the other side of student section and all the sections in the stadium were standing for the most part.

:biga2:

I was extremely proud of the fans for all the noise they made!

I also noticed the camera's shaking, quaking from the noise vibrations....I know the team was helped by you all getting involved in the game to try and distract LSU...

I can honestly say, the Bama players did their very best against a better LSU team! Heck, we almost beat them!

I know you always hear the "You guys played a good game"; but believe you me, this is "not" just empty rhetoric...it's the truth and I betcha we had some LSU players who had a hard time moving Sunday morning due to the hard tackles they received from Bama players....

RTR!!!:BigA:

I agree, BDS is as loud as anywhere for big games and big plays. Humans occupy BDS just like any other stadium. There's no difference. The main difference might be in crowd noise for podunk state, but for the big ones, all major stadiums are essentially the same.
