The Top 26 Loudest Stadiums in the United States

Even with how amazing the picture quality is on television, there’s nothing like going to a live sporting event. Food and drinks taste a little sweeter when taking in a game. Turning around and high-fiving everyone in a loud stadium after a big play makes it more exciting. This energy is something you can only get while being live at the arena.

In most public spaces, we’re encouraged to be calm and quiet. But at the game, you’re asked to do the exact opposite. If you’re looking to be as loud as you want, check these home fields out. Here are the 26 loudest stadiums in the United States.

T-Mobile Arena — Vegas Golden Knights Hockey

Starting off our list is the home of the Vegas Golden Knights. When hockey was first announced, fans thought the stadium would be overrun by visiting fans.

Kyle Field — Texas A&M Aggies Football

Kyle Field isn’t just the home of Aggie football, it has the nickname of being the “12th Man” in college football. For reference, each football team has 11 players on the field at any given time.

Caesars Superdome — New Orleans Saints

Even though the team has had its struggles, Saints fans always show up and show out. A lot of this has to do with how important the team was to helping the community after Hurricane Katrina.

Back in 2015, the Arizona safety compared talked about what it’s like playing there. “It’s like being in a bowl of cereal.
