Crowd Noise at Neyland Stadium Reached 130.3 Decibels During the Alabama Game

The crowd at Neyland Stadium reached 130.3 decibels during Tennessee's game against Alabama, according to a report in The Daily Times. The reading was presented under the name the Neyland Effect, a nod to the volume the home crowd can generate inside the stadium.

A mark that high captures how loud the environment was for the visiting Crimson Tide. For Tennessee, it is another data point in the program's long-running claim that Neyland is one of the hardest places in college football for an opponent to play.

The figure itself is the story here: no further details about when during the game the peak was recorded were included in the available report. Even on its own, though, 130.3 decibels underlines the scale of the home-field advantage Tennessee enjoyed against Alabama.
