In the Ohio State vs. Oregon game, the stadium reached up to 127 decibels, one of the top five highest recorded volumes in college football. The stadium is designed with a convex shape, so the crowd's cheers bounce right back down to the field. College football show host and avid Penn State fan Josh Pate said that it’s the loudest stadium within the Big Ten. He has been on the field at stadiums to experience it firsthand, and it’s incomparable.

This is super interesting! I liked how you included that the stadium is shaped to maximize the sound, which is a main reason as to why it got so loud. Go Ducks!

Your understanding of the architectural design of the stadium really boosts the credibility of your fact checking. It really puts it into perspective how the audience can perceive the volume to be the loudest in the nation, when really our stadium is just designed to enhance the experience.

I love how you added not only a credible link, but your own understanding as to why that evidence makes sense!

I thought you did a great job on this fact check. You added some very insightful information and then added data to back the claim. I also thought it was really interesting to hear that another teams fan Josh Pate agreed and said that when he was at Autzen stadium was the loudest in the big ten. I also thought it was great you added some information on the architecture of the stadium. Great job on this, and Go Ducks!

In the Ohio State vs. Oregon game, the stadium reached up to 127 decibels, one of the top five highest recorded volumes in college football. College football analyst Josh Pate has recently emphasized the exceptional noise levels at Oregon's Autzen Stadium, asserting that it stands as the loudest venue in the Big Ten Conference. Drawing from his extensive experience attending games nationwide, Pate remarked, "Autzen is the loudest stadium in the Big Ten." So I would say that Auzten stadium is the loudest stadium in the big 10.

My instinct is to trust the reporting that Sports Illustrated does on sports, but the article written there left me with a few questions. What makes me skeptical about this statement is that this SI article and every other article I found stating the same decibel level is that no one claims where they got this information from, when it was recorded, and what the method of decibel recording was done to obtain this information. I do not know if this information is true; it's not necessarily something important to lie about, but the lack of evidence makes me question if it is possibly exaggerated or not.

This in fact is a true statement, Auzten stadium when it had the highest attendance game went on to be the most record-breaking in Auzten stadium history reaching 127 decibels. Even though it doesn’t hold the most people, because of the way the stadium was built it keeps noise trapped inside of the stadium therefore making it louder. Also according to Sport illustrated that the shape makes it like a double-sided Ampitheater, and the being close together creates more room for people to be loud.

I can stand by this fact of Autzen being the loudest Big 10 Stadium. According to Sports Illustrated Autzen Stadium had 60,129 in attendance the most its ever gotten. Most of the top Big 10 schools hold about 100,000 fans. The difference from Autzen and those other stadiums is the size. Autzen is built much smaller and compacted than other stadiums so when it gets loud you can hear all the noise. Josh Pate said "Ohio state vs Oregon in Autzen was the loudest game I experienced this season".

This claim is true. Not only did the stadium put up a top five record of 127 decibels, but it is also built in a way that is made to keep noise inside of the stadium. According to Sports Illustrated the field at Autzen stadium is sunken, which creates a "bubble of noise".
