I know this may sound a little biased coming from a Tennessee fan, but you can’t tell me Neyland isn’t way louder than auburn, Ohio state, or even Bama when it’s rocking. It’s been a while but I’ve been to lots of SEC stadiums and Neyland is ridiculously loud.
@@Cse0008 and I never hear anyone talking about the noise coming from auburn, Ohio state, etc. does that mean they’re not loud? Neyland is one of the loudest stadiums in the country, can’t argue against that.
@@tylerfredericksen6111 yeah... and that’s why I commented saying that you can’t tell me Neyland isn’t louder than the vast majority of those. Of course Bama players aren’t going to think Neyland is that loud, it’s been a drubbing for the better part of 2 decades. That goes for most players. When Tennessee is good it blows places like auburn, Ohio state, etc. out of the water. At the very least top 10 in terms of noise
I’ve been to big games at LSU, Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, A&M, Ole Miss, MS State, and Tennessee. All were great, but LSU gets violently loud compared to the rest. Night games there start right when the whole crowd is entering into a solid buzz from drinking all day. Sat down low behind the team benches and it is deafening at field level.
@@hiitsmorgan5431 when I went to LSU I was new to SEC football and I QUICKLY began to hate MS for those damn cowbells, they are a menace to society lol
I’ll preface this with my dad and I have been to over 35 different college football stadiums. We were at LSU in 2003 when Florida came there (3:30 game). For whatever reason the place was absolutely insane. I’ll never forget it. They actually lost but the crowd was nuts. Wildest tailgating we’ve ever seen. Skyler Green, with their only td, had a punt return into the student section and the place seemed like it was going to explode. Loudest stadium we’ve experienced, by far.
A&M fan here. Was at the utsa game last year. It got so loud couldn't hear my brother who was sitting right next to me and we were playing utsa. A essentially D-II school.
I saw Saqoun Barkley play at IOWA in 2017. The crowd was absolutely nuts. So loud and intense I’ll never forget it. We still won on a last last second TD
I was at Arkansas when we went to Florida in 2004 and it was loud, but it was the early game so it wasn’t anything near the other late games around the SEC. Vandy was the quietest of course.

Gotta love kinnick getting some love. I don't think we're particularly nasty fans, but I've been to plenty of home games and seen plenty of top dogs fall to the hawks. The atmosphere is so amazing, and the fans are pretty damn close to the field.
Abe Lincoln: My parents would disagree but every fanbase has at least some jerks. Iowa definitely has to be up there although they aren't consistent. They have beaten quite a few top teams and had really close losses other times to top teams, but then they've had some games where they lose to a North Dakota State or Northwestern. Not trash talking but just feels like they don't always have a strong home field edge except in big games.
I grew up a Penn State fan and I hated to watch them play Iowa especially at Iowa. For awhile there you guys had our number even when PSU was highly ranked and Iowa was unranked. Iowa definitely has an underrated crowd in my opinion.
@@williamdesmet2942 Both teams have tremendous defenses that can pretty much stack up to any team in the country, but both teams offenses seemed to stutter. With that said, assuming Sean Clifford didn't leave due to injury, I think Penn State would've won. Now obviously that didn't happen, and it's obvious now that Penn State's chances of reaching the B1G championship game hang on whether Clifford can come back soon; if he can they have a chance to run the table, especially if their defenders that have also been lost to injury return in a timely manner as well. Iowa has one hell of a team, but I don't think that a #2 ranking is justifiable: they're easily a top ten team, but they barely beat a PSU team that has been banged up to say the least and that has been struggling to run the ball. On the other hand, I don't even know if PSU should be ranked as high as they are. Being banged up is one thing, but you need to have players that can show up when their number's called and I don't think they're there yet.
I don’t think any of them played at Penn State. The one guy who said Penn State only played at Penn State once and it was probably his freshman or sophomore year and still picked Penn State.

My extreme sweat would make the tie's color run. After a while I was consciously trying not to stop sweating. I could actually take my tie off and still have an outline of a full tie on my white shirt. After every home game, I had to buy a new dress shirt.

I'm not even an Iowa fan but it's just common knowledge that you don't start a land war in Asia and you don't take a top-10 record into Kinnick Stadium. You just don't. Great environment and some solid fans but you'll lose that game haha. I'm a Michigan guy and plenty of places have nastier people, more people, louder, etc. Few are harder to win at...if you get their attention as a team. But LSU is probably the hardest with Oregon being probably the most underrated. Those fans are right on top of you. They give you the smallest sideline regulation allows and your back is literally up against the wall, fans about 3 feet behind you. A lot of teams have great environments but that's not the same as being hard to win at. Again, I'm a Michigan guy and The Big House is probably one of the easier places to win at. 115,000 people but quiet. Tons of old folks yelling at you to sit down and stuff. An opera crowd that doesn't cheer unless winning or a good thing happens. Until then it's eerily quiet. I've heard many players mention how surprisingly easy it is to play there. Some places just have something special (usually booze).
Yeah another PSU alumn here and it always seems as loud at Iowa as it does at at The big house or the horseshoe...of course the loudest to me is always the Penn State student section on a whiteout night👍😂
I’m not trying to be biased here, but Clemson’s stadium noise is insane. We played Auburn a few years ago at home, and there were several Auburn fans around us. They all said it was the loudest stadium they had ever been to. When we played Louisville in 2016, before every Louisville play, the crowd noise got up to 105db. Clemson held the record for the loudest stadium for almost a decade without the stadium being sonically engineered to do so. Also, the cause of the crowd noise violation penalty in the 1980s was Clemson.
it's hard to come off as neutral because you don't know how bias you are until you type it out but death valley does get rowdy and loud as hell. kids have to plug their ears before the game starts. and if there's a false start on the first play the db level goes up immensely
I know we suck right now but when FSU is good and Doak Campbell is packed, that place can be tough for opposing teams to play at. I’d also definitely say that Carter-Finley is a house of horrors. Neyland Stadium is also rowdy as well. If Tennessee ever returns back to form, that place will be absolutely horrid to play in.
When University if Tennessee was still good, Knoxville Tennessee at night in a rivarly game was the loudest period. The swamp and LSU are really good too.
Penn State white out by far. There are usually 3+ false starts by the visiting team until they get used to the sound. I've seen a team even use a timeout to try to disrupt the crowd noise.
Ik we talking about current teams, but FSU in the early 2010's was absolutely ludicrous. You can hear that stadium from the other side of Tallahassee. And don't even get me started on the war chant
@@audellaroque4730 its been nearly a decade since then it is no longer relevant specially to this video dont know why they(the person you responded to) brought it up lol
I would have to imagine K-State would be hard to play at only 50,000 but you have their student section right over top of the opposite sideline. In 2014 Auburn players told Tyler Lockett how the K-State fans were just crazy.
Went to see my cousin play a game at Iowa. It hits you once you start looking around and seeing 100,000 fans you realize man This is Iowa. Loudest place I ever heard in my life
mike leach said this year when they played lsu if he stood on the hash line and yelled as loud as he could his qb still wouldnt be able to hear him and that was with 25,000 fans.
ive been to most stadiums during big games and i can confidently say the Penn State white outs are 1 and LSU night game 2.. Ohio state and the Swamp in gainesville right up there too..
We (Arkansas) played at Auburn for their homecoming. It was like a 1:00 kickoff and felt like a 7:00 rivalry game. I’ve never heard it so loud at another SEC stadium. Texas was loud and LSU, but nothing like that Auburn game. When Texas came to Fayetteville in 2004, that was the loudest home game I was a part of.
I would usually be biased and pick my Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium (do not call it the house of loud), but I would probably say Beaver Stadium for Penn State
As a Penn State fan I appreciate it I think last year our white out game was like 110,000 people but I guess size isn’t everything when it comes to an environment but I would pick Penn State to have a top five hardest places to play.
camp Randall is underrated for sure just bc the big ten has so many good historic ones. it’s not better than the Big House Kinnick or happy valley. i got it 4th w the horseshoe as a close 5th
I was an Athletic Trainer for 6 years with 3 SEC schools before I moved into the Florida Public School System. So I’ve been to every SEC stadium except Missouri and Vanderbilt. And I have to say that LSU Tiger Stadium is by far the craziest place I’d ever been too. And I fought in Desert Storm. You have to experience it at least once in your lifetime.
Crazy how very few mentioned Clemson, it’s an incredibly hard place to play at yes my choice would be Kyle Field given how many people are there but Clemson is definitely not an easy place if you are a visiting team
Texas A&M - the crowds are respectful but the 12th man, were insanely loud. I’m a Baylor fan and you need ear plugs when you play at Kyle Field - The largest football stadium in the state of Texas.
I couldn’t hear out of my right ear in 2014 when LSU scored a last minute TD against #3 Ole Miss in Death Valley. Truly amazing experience, but not so much for my right ear.
Clemson v. Louisville was the loudest game I’ve ever heard at Clemson. I was on the sideline and was screaming in the ear of the person beside me and still couldn’t hear.
Take the crowd out of the game early at MSU and it's no problem. We played there in 2006 (WVU) and we pounded them early and by the middle of the 3rd quarter the stadium was about half full. The final was 42-14, The worst parts of that trip was landing at that Golden Triangle Airport in the middle of cotton fields. We never saw the airport coming in and it made some nervous as it appeared we were going down in a field. Also, I had the flu and felt like death that weekend.
Neyland Stadium set the world record for loudness at 118 decibels this year during the ole miss game. Look up what Ty darlington and baker mayfield and Brady Quinn said about playing at neyland stadium. Ty Darling wrote a article about it at Oklahoma.
As a Georgia fan, half the reason we beat Norte dame last year is because we were so fucking loud you couldn’t hear your own voice screaming it was just deafening loud.
Carter Finley on the black out in 2017 against Louisville. 24. Vs. 17. Upset win over the cardinals. That was the loudest I ever heard Carter-Finley Stadium.
So, there is an objective way to measure this. You measure the impact the stadium has on the teams actual performance. Your first thought would be to measure the difference in the winning percentage between the team when it's at home versus when it's on the road, but this underestimates the impact of home field advantage for programs like Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State that win most of their games. (If you do measure it this way, the major programs with the biggest home field advantage are Air Force and Army, which shouldn't actually come as a big surprise if you think about it.) Alabama for example only does 6% better at home than away, but that's because it wins most of its games either way. However, what you can do is rate the teams performance against the spread. That is to say, does the team do better or worse than expected when playing at home versus playing away. That way, you are compensating for the fact that the good programs tend to win whether they are at home or away. And if you do that, the major program with the best performance against the spread at home is the Arkansas Razorbacks. So for my money, the best homefield advantage in football is Fayetteville, with those rowdy fans calling the hogs. However, either way you measure it, by far the biggest home field advantage in the country is in the SEC. The SEC has a 22% gap in winning percentage between home and away. Kentucky, Auburn and Tennesssee are actually up there with Army and Air Force in terms of the biggest change in winning percentage between playing at home and away. And The Swamp and Death Valley are legendarily hard places to go and play, and rest of the league is like a murderers row impending disaster for any team wanting a title playing on the road.
The Swamp is not that good. Holy crap. And your metric doesn't take into account that outside of a few non-conference rivals, SEC teams almost never play good OOC teams at home. Ole Miss played Central Arkansas, Troy, and Tulsa at home OOC this year. Alabama played Utah State, ULM, and Austin Peay OOC at home. Rarely is any SEC team going to schedule home games against tough OOC opponents. They're neutral site games now more often than not. The spread is less valid than a weather forecast. It's simply a prediction. Covering the spread means nothing other than you outperformed what most bettors and oddsmakers predicted. Fayetteville couldn't save Arkansas from Liberty this year. I'm curious where you're getting your data and what years you're using.
Mike Gundy and Les Miles (while he was at LSU) both said Mountaineer filed in Morgantown was one of the most intense crowds they’d ever experienced. after the 2011 game against WVU, Les Miles said the crowd rivaled any crowd he’d experienced in the SEC. Mike Gundy says it’s the loudest stadium in the BIG12.
Love Sanford stadium but on field level it’s not too loud because the fans are pretty far from the field compared to other stadiums like tiger stadium in Baton Rouge
KState homer here. I feel like us and Iowa state get really underrated. You could probably count on one hand the amount of times we’ve been blown out at home the last 20 yrs. edit Ron prince years don’t count.

It's kind of strange how CenturyLink field is one of the two/three loudest/toughest stadiums to play in the NFL but there isn't even a mention of Husky Stadium here. Come to think of it, Husky Stadium only has a capacity of 70K while a lot of the ones mentioned here are around 100K.
From what my relatives tell me, who're alumni, it doesn't have the same juice as it did say 10 years ago. To this generation of player it might not be the same
Ohio State played the Huskies in Washington one year and the Huskies put a beating on OSU. The OSU players said it was so loud that they could not hear right for 4 or 5 weeks. The stadium has deep metal eaves that reflect the sound back down on the field.

I'm not even an Iowa fan but it's just common knowledge that you don't start a land war in Asia and you don't take a top-10 record into Kinnick Stadium. You just don't.
Great environment and some solid fans but you'll lose that game haha.
I'm a Michigan guy and plenty of places have nastier people, more people, louder, etc. Few are harder to win at...if you get their attention as a team.
But LSU is probably the hardest with Oregon being probably the most underrated. Those fans are right on top of you. They give you the smallest sideline regulation allows and your back is literally up against the wall, fans about 3 feet behind you.
A lot of teams have great environments but that's not the same as being hard to win at. Again, I'm a Michigan guy and The Big House is probably one of the easier places to win at. 115,000 people but quiet. Tons of old folks yelling at you to sit down and stuff. An opera crowd that doesn't cheer unless winning or a good thing happens. Until then it's eerily quiet. I've heard many players mention how surprisingly easy it is to play there.
Some places just have something special (usually booze).
I gotta love the land war reference man. I pretty much agree with those points
yeah as a Penn St fan I can say an away game at Iowa is just as tough as Michigan or Ohio St. Never a blowout
Yeah another PSU alumn here and it always seems as loud at Iowa as it does at at The big house or the horseshoe...of course the loudest to me is always the Penn State student section on a whiteout night👍😂
As an Iowa fan I really take pride that Iowa has ruined so many peoples hopes and dreams 👍
@@TehStormOG true that. Hated watching PSU go to UM, Iowa, and OSU
I’m not trying to be biased here, but Clemson’s stadium noise is insane. We played Auburn a few years ago at home, and there were several Auburn fans around us. They all said it was the loudest stadium they had ever been to. When we played Louisville in 2016, before every Louisville play, the crowd noise got up to 105db.
Clemson held the record for the loudest stadium for almost a decade without the stadium being sonically engineered to do so.
Also, the cause of the crowd noise violation penalty in the 1980s was Clemson.
it's hard to come off as neutral because you don't know how bias you are until you type it out but death valley does get rowdy and loud as hell. kids have to plug their ears before the game starts. and if there's a false start on the first play the db level goes up immensely
Ya damn right!
Part of that All In crowd for many years now
Yeah but in 1988 Death Valley at LSU registered on the Richter scale. Good luck to any stadium that wants to beat that
Legit created a small sized earthquake, no stadium is big enough to recreate it
Being at Kyle Field at A&M for the Alabama game a couple years ago was insane. Literally the ENTIRE stadium was shaking it was so loud
Should have been there this year….
I know we suck right now but when FSU is good and Doak Campbell is packed, that place can be tough for opposing teams to play at.
I’d also definitely say that Carter-Finley is a house of horrors.
Neyland Stadium is also rowdy as well. If Tennessee ever returns back to form, that place will be absolutely horrid to play in.
The old orange bowl used to be rocking to bad they knocked it down for a shitty marlins park stadium no one wanted
Bro Doak with everyone hittin the war chant gives me goosebumps. Wish we weren’t dogshit and still had it like that lol
Ditto on UT.
I still think of Clemson and FSU as the top teams in the ACC.
Go Noles 🍢
Neyland Stadium when checkered up is the craziest experience I’ve ever had but lord is it beautiful
When University if Tennessee was still good, Knoxville Tennessee at night in a rivarly game was the loudest period. The swamp and LSU are really good too.
Baker Mayfield should have been asked in this video. He would have said Tennessee.
Strait up
@@mrmax86 but he said Clemson
@@nachoalvarez7171 he said Texas lol but yeah he also said that Tennessee was one of the loudest in some random interview thing
Penn State white out by far. There are usually 3+ false starts by the visiting team until they get used to the sound. I've seen a team even use a timeout to try to disrupt the crowd noise.
As a Gator fan I’m awful salty right now we didn’t get mentioned 😭
The sampling of schools was definitely weird.
I’m not even a Florida fan but that pissed me off Bc it made me feel like this video was fake, the swamp is tough, and lsu like wtf
Was at the FL-AL game, loudest crowd I’ve ever heard, especially in the 2nd half. My brother had to scream in my ear for me to hear him
@@alecbaldwinsnotpropgun Yo I was there too! That shit was crazy, I had to yell just to talk to my dad who was right next to me😂 Go gators
Same and surprised Neyland wasn’t on here neither
Ik we talking about current teams, but FSU in the early 2010's was absolutely ludicrous. You can hear that stadium from the other side of Tallahassee. And don't even get me started on the war chant
Go Noles 🍢
1:34 being from Fargo, he got that right!!!😂
As someone who was at the Wyoming at Nebraska game that Josh Allen played in, this makes me proud to be a Nebraska fan.
It is definitely penn state
especially when Trace McSorley starts

I went to a penn state all white out and it was crazy when saquon returned the kickoff right away it was so loud
I would have to imagine K-State would be hard to play at only 50,000 but you have their student section right over top of the opposite sideline. In 2014 Auburn players told Tyler Lockett how the K-State fans were just crazy.
2:56 “LSU you got it”😭😭
Went to see my cousin play a game at Iowa. It hits you once you start looking around and seeing 100,000 fans you realize man This is Iowa. Loudest place I ever heard in my life
Until you can register an earthquake on a Richter scale, nothing compares to LSU!
...Florida has entered the chat
_Virginia Tech has entered the chat_
Clemson has entered the chat
Baylor has entered chat. (Not really just wanted to be included)
Alabama doesn't have a problem with Lsu at Tiger Stadium.
This tittle should just be followed by a loop of Harbaugh saying Ohio State .
I really really wish i could say u were wrong coming from a u of m fan
Title**
tittle
coming from a Michigan fan that is the sad reality
And MSU lol since he cant beat either one.
mike leach said this year when they played lsu if he stood on the hash line and yelled as loud as he could his qb still wouldnt be able to hear him and that was with 25,000 fans.
ive been to most stadiums during big games and i can confidently say the Penn State white outs are 1 and LSU night game 2.. Ohio state and the Swamp in gainesville right up there too..
And I can confidently say that LSU is 1 and Penn State is 2. Search up the earthquake game LSU
We (Arkansas) played at Auburn for their homecoming. It was like a 1:00 kickoff and felt like a 7:00 rivalry game. I’ve never heard it so loud at another SEC stadium. Texas was loud and LSU, but nothing like that Auburn game. When Texas came to Fayetteville in 2004, that was the loudest home game I was a part of.
I find it funny that Alabama has to play 3 teams in the top 6 stadium capacity every year. LSU, Texas A&M, and Tennessee.
Kyle Field is one of my favorite stadiums. Of course The Palace on the Prairie is my favorite but I love the energy at Kyle Field
I would usually be biased and pick my Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium (do not call it the house of loud), but I would probably say Beaver Stadium for Penn State
As a Penn State fan I appreciate it I think last year our white out game was like 110,000 people but I guess size isn’t everything when it comes to an environment but I would pick Penn State to have a top five hardest places to play.
White out is so wild and crazy
@@crflawnandlandscaping2285 every Michigan game has 110000 but happy valley is tougher to play
@Tyler Lopes nah we just call it Autzen. An old sports announcer said that it was the place where good teams go to die
Michigan got the biggest stadium and wasn’t mentioned once 😂
Funny how most of the places mentioned, their teams never win championships except Alabama, LSU, and Clemson lol
Camp Randall is being mad slept on here
camp Randall is underrated for sure just bc the big ten has so many good historic ones. it’s not better than the Big House Kinnick or happy valley. i got it 4th w the horseshoe as a close 5th

Too bad we can’t pull one out against penn state, though. So close every time

@@mrob456 We have roudy, diehard fans, and a capacity of around 107K. Go blue.
LSU
I was an Athletic Trainer for 6 years with 3 SEC schools before I moved into the Florida Public School System. So I’ve been to every SEC stadium except Missouri and Vanderbilt. And I have to say that LSU Tiger Stadium is by far the craziest place I’d ever been too. And I fought in Desert Storm. You have to experience it at least once in your lifetime.
Crazy how very few mentioned Clemson, it’s an incredibly hard place to play at yes my choice would be Kyle Field given how many people are there but Clemson is definitely not an easy place if you are a visiting team
SEC players outside of SCAR rarely play at Clemson. It's a bad video with very few schools represented.
LSU, PSU, and A&M gotta be the top.
You are a man who knows the game.
Texas A&M - the crowds are respectful but the 12th man, were insanely loud. I’m a Baylor fan and you need ear plugs when you play at Kyle Field - The largest football stadium in the state of Texas.
I love how Bradley Chubb, who is an NCSU player, said his own stadium
I couldn’t hear out of my right ear in 2014 when LSU scored a last minute TD against #3 Ole Miss in Death Valley. Truly amazing experience, but not so much for my right ear.
Penn State whiteout seems like a ridiculously tough environment to play in
Again, wtf does the color of their shirts change? Just say penn st. It’s not like white shirts give them a superpower, it just looks cool
@@mikexxxmilly the whiteout is always scheduled as the biggest game of the year and our hardest opponent so people bring the most energy
@@mikexxxmilly whiteouts are always sold out so it's capacity
Clemson v. Louisville was the loudest game I’ve ever heard at Clemson. I was on the sideline and was screaming in the ear of the person beside me and still couldn’t hear.
That was loud but Clemson-Miami in 2005 was the loudest I have ever heard it there. That one has to take the record or be close to it.
@@vistatiger7493 that one was insane to.
Too**
I’d say Kyle field has to be one of the loudest SEC Stadiums.
Ask Florida, the 12th man doesn't disappoint.
Death Valley? No other place comes close lol.
As a gamecock fan. Nah its willy b
Indeed. Its crazy at College Station.
For how big Kyle Field is you’d think It’d be harder to play at then what it is.
I’d say Mississippi state cause of those damn cow bells
Take the crowd out of the game early at MSU and it's no problem. We played there in 2006 (WVU) and we pounded them early and by the middle of the 3rd quarter the stadium was about half full. The final was 42-14, The worst parts of that trip was landing at that Golden Triangle Airport in the middle of cotton fields. We never saw the airport coming in and it made some nervous as it appeared we were going down in a field. Also, I had the flu and felt like death that weekend.
Guess what? I have a fever. And the only prescription, is more COWBELL
Tough to say but FSU, LSU, A&M are up there
You played against them ? Or wha
Right especially when FSU is good it’s rockin
L S U !
Same bud I’d say Florida instead of FSU because FSU is so inconsistent at being good
@@bunkydamonkey1225 nah they were good for 30 straight years they just aren’t good right now
Any Big 10 team would either say Penn State during whiteout, Ohio State, or even Winsconsin

I’m a hawk fan and even I can admit that nothing beats a white out at Beaver Stadium. I hate Penn State but they have a great crowd.
Neyland Stadium set the world record for loudness at 118 decibels this year during the ole miss game. Look up what Ty darlington and baker mayfield and Brady Quinn said about playing at neyland stadium. Ty Darling wrote a article about it at Oklahoma.
Uhhhhh no Husky Stadium set a record of 133.6 decibels
@@Seth_63 yeah I think i read that also
So happy Kyle Field was among the names. There's spirit that can ne'er be told
I love this!! Need to do this every year with the rookies!! I'm from WA and Oregon (Autzen) was def the craziest place ive ever been to. Twice.
I’ve been to countless duck games and it still amazes me how rowdy autzen gets
As a Georgia fan, half the reason we beat Norte dame last year is because we were so fucking loud you couldn’t hear your own voice screaming it was just deafening loud.
Seems like none of these boys every played in the swamp , crazy
As a diehard LSU fan I can totally agree.
Carter Finley on the black out in 2017 against Louisville. 24. Vs. 17. Upset win over the cardinals. That was the loudest I ever heard Carter-Finley Stadium.
My sister graduated from U of Iowa and we used to go to the home games together, I can attest that the crowd there is VERY loud
So, there is an objective way to measure this. You measure the impact the stadium has on the teams actual performance.
Your first thought would be to measure the difference in the winning percentage between the team when it's at home versus when it's on the road, but this underestimates the impact of home field advantage for programs like Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State that win most of their games. (If you do measure it this way, the major programs with the biggest home field advantage are Air Force and Army, which shouldn't actually come as a big surprise if you think about it.) Alabama for example only does 6% better at home than away, but that's because it wins most of its games either way.
However, what you can do is rate the teams performance against the spread. That is to say, does the team do better or worse than expected when playing at home versus playing away. That way, you are compensating for the fact that the good programs tend to win whether they are at home or away.
And if you do that, the major program with the best performance against the spread at home is the Arkansas Razorbacks. So for my money, the best homefield advantage in football is Fayetteville, with those rowdy fans calling the hogs.
However, either way you measure it, by far the biggest home field advantage in the country is in the SEC. The SEC has a 22% gap in winning percentage between home and away. Kentucky, Auburn and Tennesssee are actually up there with Army and Air Force in terms of the biggest change in winning percentage between playing at home and away. And The Swamp and Death Valley are legendarily hard places to go and play, and rest of the league is like a murderers row impending disaster for any team wanting a title playing on the road.
ok that was awesome
Great analysis, learned a lot!
The Swamp is not that good. Holy crap. And your metric doesn't take into account that outside of a few non-conference rivals, SEC teams almost never play good OOC teams at home. Ole Miss played Central Arkansas, Troy, and Tulsa at home OOC this year. Alabama played Utah State, ULM, and Austin Peay OOC at home. Rarely is any SEC team going to schedule home games against tough OOC opponents. They're neutral site games now more often than not.
The spread is less valid than a weather forecast. It's simply a prediction. Covering the spread means nothing other than you outperformed what most bettors and oddsmakers predicted. Fayetteville couldn't save Arkansas from Liberty this year. I'm curious where you're getting your data and what years you're using.
Mike Gundy and Les Miles (while he was at LSU) both said Mountaineer filed in Morgantown was one of the most intense crowds they’d ever experienced. after the 2011 game against WVU, Les Miles said the crowd rivaled any crowd he’d experienced in the SEC. Mike Gundy says it’s the loudest stadium in the BIG12.
Les miles is a northerner of course he said that lsu is 10 times louder we’ve got to 130 on the Richter scale
I was at the wvu game and of course we got beat 🤦🏻♂️
Man, Southern Conference Football in the 90s... Western Carolina and AppState in them mountains... then Marshall. Warzones.
Iowa has super thin sidelines, super hard to concentrate and get some space I’ve heard. Not to mention the away locker room is painted pink…
From LSU, we thank you. much Love.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! ! !
I'm surprised nobody mentioned UGA... it gets very loud there in Athens
Love Sanford stadium but on field level it’s not too loud because the fans are pretty far from the field compared to other stadiums like tiger stadium in Baton Rouge
Most of the noise at UGA is in the off season. Lost of yelling about upcoming NCG's and police sirens going off.

Penn State White Out is by far the loudest in the country

I would vote for Kansas. The 50-75 people who show up can get medium loud at times.
I remember my first trip to Clemson I couldn't hear my friend next to me. Especially when they blame they played ND at home.

Davis Wade for Mississippi State doesn’t get enough love. With the cowbells when it’s rocking there’s no stadium louder.
It's kind of strange how CenturyLink field is one of the two/three loudest/toughest stadiums to play in the NFL but there isn't even a mention of Husky Stadium here. Come to think of it, Husky Stadium only has a capacity of 70K while a lot of the ones mentioned here are around 100K.
I feel like Lane Stadium at least deserves an honorable mention
From what my relatives tell me, who're alumni, it doesn't have the same juice as it did say 10 years ago. To this generation of player it might not be the same
Neyland as well
This keeps gettin recommended so I finally watched it.
Ohio State played the Huskies in Washington one year and the Huskies put a beating on OSU. The OSU players said it was so loud that they could not hear right for 4 or 5 weeks. The stadium has deep metal eaves that reflect the sound back down on the field.
I’ve been on memorial stadium turf (in Nebraska) in the middle of the summer and it gets about 15 degrees hotter down there. Also, Memorial stadium has a ton of sellouts
