After graduating at auburn, during a tenure of insane games including two home wins against #1 bama and #1 uga, I remember going to my first tech game in a long time thinking it would probably be a pitiful comparison in energy.
I don’t remember which tech game it was, but I was shocked to find it still pretty damn loud. Auburn is absolutely deafening. The student section is like standing next to an f-22. But I remember thinking BDS wasn’t that far behind with less than half of the average attendance.
I theorized that the metal stands reflect sound better than concrete ones, and that the stands lean over the field a little more.
