Go with the records of who wins and loses the most at their stadium. There are some teams who have crazy records at home. I wouldn’t say Alabama is the loudest place to play, but it’s been historically hard to win there. LSU doesn’t lose many home games. Penn state is crazy loud, but OSU and Michigan roll through the white out game regularly. If you want loud - Mississippi State’s cowbells are nuts! The only thing I would give you on this whole list is LSU.

[@Pcbdude82]

Lol if you're going to try and make an argument, do a little research. Especially if you want to bring up records PSU is 4-2 against Michigan and 2-3 vs Ohio State during a white out. 4+2= 6 2+3 = 5 6 wins to 5 losses vs those two teams. 3 W and 2 L in the last 5

I don’t see how Okie State could be slotted in over Happy Valley. Coming from a Nebraska fan. Had a discussion about stadium noise on a forum awhile back. Talking about how crappy and quiet our atmosphere gets as soon as something goes wrong. Everyone in Lincoln can tell when we are about to fill our pants with diarrhea. One interesting point was made by one poster who has been to a game in Autzen. Said you don’t see a single old person. They sucked for a long time, and got good in the last 20 years so their fan base is a lot younger. Contrast that to Nebraska where all of us younger people have no recollection of being really good. Our stadium is full of old people that sit down and make no noise. If Rhule can start giving us a product to cheer for and would expect memorial to recover its reputation as a tough place to play.

This list is not valid if it doesn't include Penn State in the top 5. Some on here are saying, "well, it's only loud for one game". I'm sure Clemson versus Wofford in September is also not a loud environment. Smh. Also, here are the loudest recorded decibels as of last November 1. Husky Stadium (UW) - 133 2. Memorial (Clemson) - 132 3. Tiger Stadium (LSU) - 130 4. Autzen (Oregon) - 127 5. Beaver Stadium (Penn St) - 122 Take from this list as you will, but Penn State objectively belongs on this list.
