1991 NHL All-Star game. Wayne Messmer sings the national anthem a few days after the Gulf War started. The place goes crazy.

I think it was at Chicago Stadium, but not that one. During the 30's, there was a riot taking place in the stands, so the organist pressed all of the keys and instantly ended the riot. The thing was so loud that windows broke.

Amerocentricity is a beautiful thing.

Loudest sports fans? Soccer fans.
Biggest sports stadiums? Soccer stadiums.

You do the math.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway - With a permanent seating capacity for more than 257,000 people [1] and infield seating that raises capacity to an approximate 400,000, it is the largest and highest-capacity sporting facility in history [2] (by comparison, the world's largest soccer stadium seats 150,000 spectators).

I have to imagine that it can get pretty loud in there...

Well I wasn't there for the earthquake game, but I know from personal experience that Death Valley (LSU) gets so obnoxiously loud that you can't think at times.

*Was at 2003 LSU Georgia, Mauch threw last second touchdown to win
*Was at LSU Florida this year. 92,910 people when ape **** at the same time on last touchdown, loudest point of the game was the announcement that USC had lost to Stanford. CBS said it was 115 decibels, I swear it was louder.
*Was at LSU National Championship game in 03'... Couldn't hear my dad yelling at me after Vincent broke the opening run.

I've only been in domes for basketball games, which only fill up about half, and are extreeeemely quiet. Even for the national championship.

I sort of think a smaller building with fewer people might be louder, but again I have no experience in a full dome. I do know that Allen Fieldhouse has definitely gone past the pain threshold at certain times (overtime vs Georgia Tech a couple of years ago, for instance).

domes for football are much different than domes for basketball games

dome football games are ridiculously loud...louder than anywhere else I've gone

One of the many things I love about college sports.

You just don't get that during a regular season NFL game.

that's a sweet bit of trivia

Yes, good to know that if you have a seismograph ~1,000 ft from a football game the needle will start jumping.

I highly doubt this is uncommon and it's funny some fanboy went and made a wiki about it.
