The 2020 College Football Season

If it's the right 20 to 30 thousand, that's not a problem.

I was one of the "20,000 who stayed" during the 1988 LSU game. When Bobby Olive caught the game winner the shoe was as loud as I've ever heard it. And that was back when it had an 8 lane track around the field.

Chris Gamble's INT TD remains the loudest non-artillery sound I've ever heard though.

I was at that game and it was borderline deafening. I remember sticking my fingers in my ears to muffle the sound and even then it was still painfully loud.
I was there as well but still think Terry Glenn's long TD against Notre Dame is loudest I ever heard the Stadium.

I was sitting in C deck for Gamble and old North end Block O for Glenn so maybe that is why it seemed louder.

USC 2008. Loud enough to drown out the USC band that was off to my lower left.
That was 2009 at the Shoe. 2008 was the disaster in L.A.
Definitely the loudest I've ever personally heard the Shoe. Still pisses me off that Tress played it safe early with the FG attempt instead of going for the TD on 4th down.

6 foot 6 QB should be able to get half a yard, for sure. But the play that haunts me is late in the game, USC has the lead. Taylor Mayes shows blitz, and actually comes. Meanwhile freshman Duron Carton is completely uncovered. Pryor heaves a prayer to Posey down visitors sideline which is incomplete. Meanwhile, Carter is all alone at midfield beside himself that Pryor didnt throw it to him. @BB73
