Crowd Noise originated in old Kingdome. If Kingdome was still around..would be here too.
Anfield is a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, England which has a seating capacity of 54,074 making it the sixth largest football stadium in England. It has been the home of Liverpool F.C. since their formation in 1892. Its not just a home ground for any Liverpudlian, its more to a shrine, biggest dream for any Liverpool fans to go to Anfield & sung "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the Kop.
Just face it, no one can win against a team with a stadium filled with cheeseheads.
Except for the giants of course...
Packers are going all the way next year. It had to be like this so the pats could get their perfect season, that's all.
Haha, a k-state fan... Biased a little. I am too and I still think that Arrowhead is the loudest whether the Chiefs are 3-13 or 12-4. The fan support makes it so awesome and makes it so difficult to play here.
I've born and raised in KC so I have seen arrowhead plenty of times. spent 8 years in Vegas and attended UNLV (who think they have a great basketball tradition), and I have been to stadiums all such as rose bowl Arizona, the pit in New Mexico etc... and I can tell you nothing even comes close to Allen field house. It's like arrowhead/quest had a baby with Wrigly/Fenway and you have one of the greatest venues in sports where teams are 215-9 since 2005. It's definitely #1.
Statistically, this IS the greatest home field advantage in all of sports. From Wikipedia "KU's current record at Allen Fieldhouse, as of March 18, 2013, is 699-108. Since 1994, the Jayhawks have gone 263-14. Since 2007, they have gone 107-2, making Allen Fieldhouse the statistically greatest home-court advantage in all of sports."
How is this NOT #1? Look at this? "Since 1994, the Jayhawks have gone 263-14..."
That is absolutely bonkers.
How can you go aginst these numbers? The whole Seattle argument really irks me, where we're "the 12s" (scary name) the past decade?
In January-Pats are unbeatable there.
When that wind swirls in the Jersey swamps...trouble.
When you're playing in Chicago in the Bear weather in the rain and snow against that always fierce Bears defense you're in for some trouble, and a loss!

Notice how many lefty hitters boston drafts smack off the wall on what would have been an easy pop up play double after double after double. Also pop ups are now a homerun.
The temp could be 95 degrees in downtown SF but would be 32 degrees at the Stick.
Okay most of it has been teared down but every team in the country panicked when they had to play Arsenal at home. It's even the centre of the untouchables season not a loss in sight!
