Ears ringing from last night

[JerseyNoles]

Great atmosphere. Ears were ringing in 2nd half and leaving the game
One of the better Rac crowds I've been a part of
Kudos to those who were there - you all brought it

Was there a decibal count posted somewhere?

Was there a decibal count posted somewhere?

My iPhone hit 115 but it seemed a lot higher than that.

At one point me and my co-workers just looked at each other with eye brows raised and took it all in. Our other co-worker who is not a sports guy, was putting his fingers in his ears at that moment. It got silly loud at one point in the second half.

My wife is an audiologist and said she would never step foot in the RAC because it will definitively lead to hearing loss. That means it's a great atmosphere.

Only louder place I've ever been to was in high school. I once went to an Ataris concert and they were playing at the Crocodile Cafe in Allentown. I couldn't hear a thing for 2 days straight. Just ringing in my ears and muffled noises. Loudest thing I've ever been to.

Definitely a top 10 Rac crowd I've ever been a part of, and a few times, if we would have hit a shot coming off a defense rebound, the roof would have come off

I hit 114 as well. I didn't have it turned on though on the J WIll block. Pretty sure that would have passed that.

One of the loudest crowds ever.

The RAC is bac! And would have even been louder if we had it 100% full!!

How full was the student section?
95%?

How full was the student section?
95%?

Yes, full except for upper corners which could have been bc they squeezed in the middle sections

 

[blueoyster]

Didn't seem full to me. Maybe 90%? As JDS said, student section upper corners were available. Similar to the upper corners of both sides of the 300 level. Given the opponent and the win streak, thought the whole arena would have been nearer to 100% full. But, as others have said, was damn loud!

 

[RUDave_01]

It was definitely the loudest crowd of the year. One thing that helped was that Northwestern didn't have too many fans in building, so it was even more heavily an RU crowd.

I noted this as I’ve had my ears go past the sound level where everything gets muted a few times at RU sporting events, but at field/court level (notably 2014 PSU football game, was on the field when the horse came out pregame and was so loud it was physically painful in my ears) .. Never this high up, was in maybe row R or Q of the 200s so pretty high up and after the ref you suck chant the next loud D possession I got muffled ears from the sound, incredible. One of the loudest RACs ever, yes

 

[Rhuarc]

It's tough to tell how loud it was when compared to the Wisky game as I think I suffered personal hearing loss from that one....
