Good stuff...gonna be loud all year long!

Great news for the organization.  The new barn is going to be rockin on game day.

I was at the stadium for the first time  yesterday, and I was just shocked at what that roof does to the noise. 

A car driving by with a loud exhaust was magnified significantly by the echo created. When the D would make a big play during practice, and the 30-40 of them would start hooting and hollering, you could really hear it. Even when the QBs or long snappers were yelling out their cadences on the far end of the field, I could hear it clear as day.

Pack that place with 33,000 rabid, frothing at the mouth bomber fans and we might just send that tin into orbit. 

Anyone know if there is any seismographs on campus? Would be neat to see the tape of a game.

Not sure a seismometer would pick up sounds from game day. I'm no physicist here, but I'm guessing that sound would take the path of least resistance and travel above ground - not to such a depth and at such a vibrating frequency that it would register on any seismemeter - even one a par five away. But who knows - if it did register - that'd be pretty cool too.

get it loud enough you would notice vibrations in the ground, not a lot obviously but there would be something if your equipment was sensitive enough.

Guess we'll find out Wednesday.

Maybe - The preseason game is usually much quieter than regular season games. I hope it is loud though

I figure that our stadium is similar to theirs, so we might be able to get a seismic reading on a smaller scale

yeah the human voice is pretty trebly, don't think it'd penetrate the ground too well. People Jumping all at once might do something though.

Don't get me wrong I think the 25,000 number is outstanding but were still left with 8,000 tickets a game for the general public, which is the same as selling 21,000 ST's and having a capacity of 29,500. Also of those new 4000 STH I'd imagine many of them were 'walk ups' in years past. What do you guys think the over/under is as far as sellouts go? I think we can count on the opener/2nd game/banjo bowl as locks the rest I think is really up to the teams performance. That being said I'm gonna go 6 but I hope I'm wrong and all 9 are packed.

I don't think walk up sales will be as strong at IGF initially.  If the team isn't winning, I could see only 2 or 3 sellouts.

If you want to know how loud it is at IGF during games just check out The Extra Point as in all likelihood Jersey will post his noise meter readings at some point.
