RE: Clemson Fans Are An Insecure Bunch
Sorry if we get offended at our great football stadium atmosphere being compared to a lackluster environment in a half empty basketball arena. The Louisville game showed me why Syracuse went with gray uniforms this year.....to match the empty seats in the Carrier Dome.

Let me know when opposing players say stuff like this:
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/09...DXHERYzDaU

Quote:Early in the second quarter Clemson led UNC by 20 points, and the people who gathered at Memorial Stadium – a crowd of nearly 80,000, most dressed in orange – created a deafening roar. Earlier, Marquise Williams, the UNC quarterback, said he felt the ground shake.

“I stepped out on the first drive, I said, “This is not real,’ ” Williams said.

Quote:Fans at Memorial Stadium, another place commonly referred to as Death Valley, were measured raising their combined voices to a level of 132.8 decibels during a 2007 game against Boston College. That's loud. That's like running-four-jackhammers-at-one-time loud. If you feel like risking going deaf by age 30, Clemson football home games are definitely for you.


Quote:“Florida was loud in the Swamp. But the loudest, not only stadium, but the loudest place I have been around in my life was definitely Death Valley. I was yelling at the top of my lungs in that first series, and I couldn’t even hear what I was saying.”

--Chris Rix

Quote:"I came here knowing it would be loud and that Clemson would hit me hard, but to me, the noise was the biggest factor. I know I didn't concentrate as well because of it."

--Herschel Walker

Quote:"I remember being nervous before the game because there were 80,000 people dressed in orange. It's intimidating. I even threw up before the game. It's the only time I've ever done that."

--Former Duke Quarterback Dave Brown

RE: Clemson Fans Are An Insecure Bunch
Having been at both stadiums when they were full, I can say without a doubt Syracuse is louder and it's not even close. And it doesn't mean Clemson has inferior noise makers; It's the dome. It traps all the sound of 50,000 screaming fans. It was so loud, I yelled as loud as I could and couldn't hear my own voice.

Cool story bro.

What's their decibel reading again?

And how are they going to get 50k fans in the dome? Count everybody twice?

The Carrier Dome is similar to other domes of the same vintage, most of which are now gone, like the Metrodome and RCA Dome. The field is surrounded by stands of roughly equal height 360 degrees around. These stands are more vertical than most outdoor venues. On top of that, there's a dome on top of that. The noise is just trapped and reverberates like crazy. Finally, the seats are primarily aluminum benches, great for stomping on, and occasionally you'll even get students and others pounding on the metal vents that pump the air to hold the roof up. The place can get pretty f'ing loud.

The fact that you are here and so hot and bothered by the comparison, and attacking anyone who doesn't agree with you makes the title of this thread even more true, and quite funny, seeing how easy it is to get you going. 03-lmfao 03-lmfao

Direct Hit! 03-lmfao

If you read Coach Petrino's comments it wasn't even saying anything bad about Clemson...but insecure folks need to be stroked constantly how great they are.

This reminds me exactly how Clemson T-shirt fans made a mountain out of a mole hill last year before the Cuse game.

To that note, that comment has certainly driven a LOT of Clemson fans to the UofL board, bringing it up. Then something about them having a "silent-out" in retaliation to the comment. Very weird indeed. Especially since the comment was followed by Petrino saying "games at a place like Clemson are EXACTLY why we wanted to join the ACC."

everyone, including petrino, knows that clemson has a load stadium. dabo is just doing what any coach would do - taking a quote and making it bulletin board material. it should be a really good game.

The place can get pretty f'ing loud.

That's nice. I have never said that the Carrier Dome can't get loud. I just have a serious problem with it being equated with what is on record as the second loudest venue in college football by decibel level.

Death Valley gets half of it's name because the entire original lower bowl of the stadium sits in a natural depression, thus the need for the hill. Essentially you are sitting in a concrete bowl where the sound reverberates back and forth. It works just like sticking your iphone in a cup to make your music louder. It was loud in the Valley BEFORE they built the upper decks.

The upper decks were built about as vertical as you can build them and expect a human being to walk up the stairs, and they go a ways up there. All that did was intensify the parabolic effect and add even more noise makers. Add in the West Zone closing in the open gaps that used to be between the west stands and the north and south stands and the sound has nowhere to go.

RE: Clemson Fans Are An Insecure Bunch
I've attended Virginia Tech games in Lane Stadium so loud I could not hear myself yell, but I must admit that the 4th Q of the 1998 Syracuse/VT game at the Carrier Dome was unlike anything I've ever experienced. The noise was so loud it was painful to the ear--similar I suppose to standing next to a jet engine. The Dome may only seat 50,000 (49,262 to be exact) but the atmosphere in that place can be off the charts in a big game.
