Install decibel meter at Kyle Field and have it permanently displayed. And I mean the actual dB measurement, not some stupid "loud.. louder... LOUDER..." message to get the fans worked up.

Wondering why they have not done it to this point

I support this message

Should we make a shirt about it?

Contrived.

AO is already on it.

It was attempted back when I went to A&M (maybe 2001?). We did not get the world record at that time.

Yes. Things should always come into being via spontaneous proclamation. Planning is overrated.

I don't necessarily support the idea, but dismissing it out of hand as "contrived" smacks of "I'm too cool/smart for that."

Then again, maybe now I am the one being snooty.

I think I hurt my feelings.

Who cares? They planned out a roar on que to get the record. I'd rather just be consistently loud and crazy throughout the game. Sustained energy is what creates the home field advantage.

We could be one louda

Yup.

I remember in 1991 when I was in grad school at the Evil Empire. Walked out of the B-school one day and heard amazing loudness coming from the stadium on a Thursday afternoon the week before the A&M game. The whorns were practicing with crowd noise cranked to the max, just to prepare for Kyle. It was a real issue for them. (Cue the '85 tu game noise clip from YouTube.)

This. I think it was during the ND game.

I take it you don't remember Guinness denying our record for most students to attend a football game because it was "contrived"

Ha.

Too many olds at Kyle games. Topping 142 won't happen.

I know this has been discussed a bunch, but this would be awesome. Maybe it should come on when it reaches a certain level though?

Red white and blue out = noise measuring

Let me be clear, I'm not suggesting we do this once to break a record. Nor am I really even concerned about the record... whether we break the record or not, I don't care... I think it would be cool if it was a permanent addition to Kyle that displays the dB at all times. I think it would be cool for the fans in the stands to see it shoot up when they yell and make noise, and I'd love for it to be shown on TV whenever the crowd noise results in a false start penalty.

Who cares about calling Guinness to get some stupid record, it's primarily for us to keep track of how loud we can be.

We tried it in 2000 against OU. That was the game we choked away and OU won the MNC with Heupel.

When I first started working Rockets games, we would show a live decibel meter during parts of the game. It wouldn't be hard to just mount one somewhere and show it at certain times.
