I'll admit that seems a bit odd. Why would it suddenly be loud after the game was already completely in hand?

Seriously? I will say that it was damn loud right then.

I'll have to go back and look at it. Was that pretty much the "It's officially over point"?

I even commented to my buddy that it seemed much louder than I would have expected at that moment considering the empty seats.

Yes, perhaps this lines up with the play Daface's post mentions?

**DaFace** · 10-13-2013, 09:14 PM

I'm gonna spew some pure speculation that is probably complete bullshit, but...

Is it possible that having a few empty seats actually AMPLIFIED the volume? In other words, human bodies most likely absorb sound reasonably well, while concrete and plastic don't. By getting rid of some of the humans, maybe it actually allowed the sound to echo around the place even more than if the stadium were completely full.

Obviously, there would have to be some sort of tipping point; 10k fans obviously wouldn't get very close to the record in the stadium. But I could buy that the sound output of 80k people is not substantially more than 75k people (especially if those people are the types who don't yell as much based on their tendency to leave the game early) while the amplification factor would be slightly higher. Who knows - maybe that's enough to kick it over the mark.

My God the gold section does have a positive effect on home field advantage

Theory #2: It would seem likely that the sustained volume of the crowd would be well below the volume you could get with one, short shout. During the game, the crowd wouldn't be able to easily amplify after a being loud for 30 seconds prior. But if they weren't really all that amped up on that final drive (that was garbage time), the sudden burst at the INT could have been louder because everyone was comparatively rested up.

“It was out of control today,” Zach Aaron, game day engineer said. “It was the loudest thing I have ever heard for the longest time I have ever heard and that was also a concurrence from our Guinness World Records adjudicator. This stadium was constantly at 130 to 136 decibels. We had constant obliterating loudness.”
