Walking into a stadium were all year here is cheering from
thousands of people. Seeing people with face paint and letters on their chest.
The environment of something special going on. The excitement from the people
standing in their seats. Is how to describe the Atmosphere of seeing some of
the most explosive and most exciting athletes away from the professional level?
College Football has shown to be one of the most exciting things to experience
as a fan. As well as being not as expensive as professional games but just as
exciting it is one of the best things to watch.
A big thing with college football is how much their fans
play a part in their team’s field atmosphere. The fans are the reason teams
stadium are so loud. The loyalty of their fans when there team is winning is
the best part of college football. They STUDENT fans is one of the huge
differences between the pros and the collegiate level.
College football atmosphere is different depending on where you’re
watching the game. Some of the loudest stadiums in the United States come from
college football games.
Husky Stadium (Washington Huskies)
Memorial Stadium (Clemson Tigers)
Tiger Stadium (LSU Tigers)
According to Stacks.com they
did some research regarding how they came about on how these stadiums are the
loudest in college football. The research brought them to the conclusion that
the Washington Huskies record the Highest Recorded Decibel Level at 133.6, with
Clemson falling behind barley with 132.8 decibels and LSU Tigers with 130
decibels.
So a chart looking up the equivalence to the Washington
Huskies stadium which was recorded at 133.6, the chart says it’s about the
sound of a close range gunshot. So imagine a gunshot going off in close range for
about three and a half hours.
Why is this stadium so loud? There are a couple reasons the
atmosphere and loudness of this stadium is the way it is, is because of the
location of seats and the overhanging roof.
The reason the roof goes into effect of the stadium is
because of the fact that without it the crowd noise would just leave the
stadium. But since there is something somewhat blocking the noise from leaving
the stadium it makes it much louder.
The second reason why the stadium is as loud as it is, is
because of the location of the seats. The seats are located between the two end
zones. Which means a majority of the fans are right behind the players on the
sidelines. It also keeps them under the overhanging roof.
The atmosphere for these stadiums only grows on their fan
base. Just like if a team is winning their fans are going to keep coming to
games and there only going to get louder and louder. This is a key reason that isn’t
spoken about. The more you win the more they come.
