Some say that home field advantage is complete nonsense. Some say that fan noise does not impact a game. These “some” have never been on the field at Razorback Stadium.

Have you ever stood approximately thirty-two feet away from a roaring jet engine before? Even if you have not, if you were anywhere close to field level Saturday when Arkansas hosted Ole Miss, you can officially tell people what is feels like. That’s right, fans, Razorback Stadium gave an introduction or 117-decibels to the Rebels while hosting Ole Miss.

“Twitter” was alive with posts and videos commenting on the amount of noise created by approximately 62,000 HOG faithful.

First Year for Measurements

Let’s take in account that measuring decibel levels is in its first year at Donald W Reynolds Razorback Stadium, however we have already possess two new records. Furthermore, according to this article, we would rank in the Top Seven (at #6 to be precise) of loudest college football venues. Impressive enough, we would also rank in the Top Ten of football stadiums including the NFL. Yes, these type of measurements may be in their infancy stages as a whole in the NCAA, however several have thought throughout the years that Fayetteville was underrated as a loud, hostile environment for road teams.

Our goal for the 2016 still remains set at 120-decibels, and Florida and LSU still have to come up ‘The Hill’. There is no doubt that the deafening sound produced when Santos Ramirez introduced Chad Kelly to more stars than the Oscars Red Carpet will be matched or beaten if Arkansas continues on this level of success.

Keep bringing it, Razorback fans. When the press box is shaking, that means that the HOGS are winning. Oh, in addition, it seems like we had a celebrity (or his doppelgänger) in attendance Saturday.
