The initial claim of this post is that Autzen Stadium in Eugene Oregon is the loudest stadium (by decibel) in the Big10 conference.
Following Oregons recent matchup versus Ohio State several articles were published toting Oregons stadium, Autzen Field, as the loudest stadium in the Big10. These claims were made based on the measurement of decibels taken during the game. According to this article written by Mark Lantz, a sports broadcaster for Sports Illustrated, Autzen reached a recorded decibel level of 127. This would place Oregon as not only the loudest stadium in the Big10, but consistently ranked within the top 5 loudest stadiums in all of CFB, as per sites like Mike Farrell Sports, and BetMGM.
The volume of Autzen Stadium comes as no surprise to Christopher Mitchell of AECOM, one of the architects on the Autzen remodel, who told Sports Illustrated in 2014 the bowl shape of Autzen lends itself to a roaring ambiance, “It is like a double-sided amphitheater,” he says. “All the energy is concentrated.”
In summary, the initial claim of the post that Autzen Stadium has produced one of the highest recorded decibels in CFB history as well as leading the Big10 in volume is verifiably true.
