PSU ‘21 and I’ve been to many many home games since freshman year 2006
What's the loudest you have ever heard Kinnick?
- Thread starter srams21
- Start date
And then the unpleasantness happened.
I still remember screaming "watch the fake"

I would probably go with ‘04 Wisconsin too.
That will always be one of my favorite Iowa football memories…defacto BIG title game in Kinnick vs a rival.
There was a year versus Northwestern too somewhere in like 2014-2017 where the officials messed up BIG time and there was garbage raining on the field….that may be the angriest crowd I have ever been in.
I feel like there was another one like that last year or the year before as well.
Quietest is by far the Michigan game where the home winning streak snapped. Place was like a funeral walking out. ‘05 maybe?

Why is it I can't seem to remember this game? I remember my Michigan friends being at the game and we agreed before the game to tailgate after the game regardless of who won. They of course being the arrogant sore loser Michigan fans that they where left immediately after the game. It might be that I'll just never forget the 2002 team that destroyed Michigan in the Big House the year before. Actually that 2002 team has a ton of my greatest Hawkeye game memories. I'm not sure if that Michigan or Minnesota game in 2002 is my most memorable game being at.
This. I had to scream at my buddy next to me to talk. Ears hurt after
I was at that one too.. one of the worst officiated and most frustrating games I've ever been to. Agree.. have never seen Kinnick that angry
I’m going to add that Pitt game a few years ago when Koehn hit that 57 yarder to win it.
I'm seeing some non Kinnick games. The Holloway catch in the Capital One Bowl was the best sports moment I've ever seen live. Bowl games were fun when teams cared...
CJ Jones return vs USC at the Orange Bowl was the most excited ive ever been at a live sporting event. The rest of the game, not so much
Some really good ones people have mentioned. Couple others I'd note:
Opening of the game 2006 vs Ohio State - College Gameday was on site, people had been drinking all day, place was going nuts. Unfortunately didn't last too long.
2008 Penn State winning FG - not the best season at that point, but upended #3 in the country

The '21 Penn State game is probably my favorite sporting event I've ever been to. So much fun. So loud. Our seats are goaline in the NW corner ( O section 4 life) about 25 rows up. The sound from above and around you is just deafening.
I’ve been to Camp Randall, Michigan Stadium and the Horseshoe at TOSU.
I think I need to visit y’all’s House.

I was 12, at my first bowl game, I hadn't yet been naturally hardened to disappointment as an Iowa fan. Pure joy at kick off, to worried yet hopeful, to anger, to sadness.
Horseshoe was a blast last year. OSU fans were surprisingly cool to party with. But it's easy to be nice when they absolutely drubbed us.
"jump around" at camp Randall is one of the most overrated things I've ever seen in person. We sat like 10 rows up. The stadium doesn't shake. At all. We did win the rock fight though and went on to have an undefeated regular season that year. And Montee Ball and I bought shots for each other at a Madison bar that night.
Might have been '81 vs. Michigan State when it was announced at halftime that Ohio State had beaten Michigan and all the Hawks were going to the Rose for the first time since '59. Phil Blacher rushed for 246 yards, a record at the time. He lived next to one of my friends in Bon Aire trailer court and he came over after the game and we drank into the wee hours...
At night for a big game Kinnick is incredibly loud. Visiting players hate it because the fans are RIGHT behind them.
My first son was born right before Christmas in 2015. Was just over a week old for the Rose Bowl. I was so excited to watch it with him, since I was 3 the last time the Hawks had made it and had no memory. Then C-Mac decided to take out all of his anger at losing the Heisman out on us. I remember looking at him and saying "this is what it's like being a Hawkeye fan. Better get used to it".
I was there in the 80’s when they had the 5th Quarter and the Bud Song. Our next door neighbor ran the W Club and we got awesome seats. Good tailgating too.
They had Alan Ameche over for the neighborhood Christmas party and I thought my hubby was gonna faint.
Penn State 2021, ears were ringing for a few hours after the game. Lost my voice for a few days after the game. Just a crazy environment.
I was going to say the Wisconsin game as well. I think the South end zone locker room was under construction at the time because I remember giving Matt Roth a high five as the Hawks exited at the NE corner. I may still have the towel they gave away because it was the first Heartland Trophy game
I think this guy, or maybe someone else, posted that the flyover before the game was not even this loud.
Maybe my favorite game due to the previous 20 years.
This was special too in Indy. For a neutral field game we blew the roof off. I'll forget what happened 15 minutes later..
Schembechler pulled that same crap at Purdue I think on 3 straight plays in about 1984. Cost Purdue a time out.
60,000 fans are louder than over 100,000 at the Big House in the same era?
LOL
when Tim Dwight broke the B1G TD punt return record in 1997. They kept punting away from him. We booed every time they punted. He finally broke thru. The greatest return I've ever seen. To appreciate it you had to see how hard they tried not to punt to him. He forced his will upon them. The place was deafening.
It's the last return in this highlight

Penn State 2021. I’ve been going to most games since 1976 and that game stands alone. The north end zone traps so much noise.
Chris hassle’s impersonation of dolph and Ed calling the end of that game was hilarious. I’ve tried in vain to find it on the interwebs.
Also 2004 Wisconsin for me. I wasn't at the 2021 Penn State because I was at a 10U softball game. We had two TVs set up in centerfield (by the parking lot) with football on one and the stream of the softball game on the other.
