Anyone at the rain game against Ga Tech 2017 will tell you that is when the 12th man was resurrected from the dead and became a force.

Yeah you could certainly make that argument, I happened to be at both games last season. But I do think the ND game was the one where the whole country noticed - 'hey Miami has a real home field advantage now'

Fair enough

Ga Tech was right out of Spartacus

The Ga Tech sideline was in disbelief lmfao
 
Va Tech was crazy, and I think it sent the stage for the ND game, both for the players and the fans. That stadium was crazy loud almost the entire game.

Spike as UM was beating VAtech late, I was with some friends watching the game at Barney's Beanery out here in Hollywood(the UM bar out here in LA) and I said to myself,"I need to be at the ND game next week, be a part of this." And I booked a flight the next day. They thought I was kidding

It was great to be a part of that whole scene....

I watched the ND game last year on TV and the FSU game this year on TV and you can feel that ****

Crazy how the whole script was flipped on that stadium atmosphere

Standing in the stands, you can literally feel the stadium bending and vibrating underneath you. It's unreal. The ole OB atmosphere has definitely been recreated, with a new millennium twist and feel to it. It will never be the same, and for the kids, I miss the old grass lots that used to be mostly open up until fairly close to game time where we used to play pickup football with whoever happened to be around, that will definitely never be the same, but this place is pretty **** cool now, and it doesn't seem like there's a bad seat in the house.

I actually think it was the 2016 game against FSU. While we lost the game, The Rock was born that night. That place was wild, the crowd pelted the field with water bottles after a ****** call, it was loud, it was vibrating, it was intimidating. We just came up an extra point short of beating their asses in overtime, which is why no one really remembers that game now. But THAT was the night Joe Robbie/Pro Player/No Life/Hard Rock Stadium became "The Rock".

Yup.

As a Miami transplant, I never attended a game at the OB, so I can't speak as to that environment (although on TV it was loud AF). But when the Rock is going crazy, the stadium shakes and the seats reverberate.

You gotta come be a part of this, man. Even for SSU and FIU this season, it's a great experience. That **** last Saturday, and VT game last year (I couldn't make ND), well, we can say once again, there's nothing like a big game in Miami.

I loved the OB. Loved it. I hated the move. Misery. Dolphins stadium was a terrible antiseptic pile of concrete that had no life no matter how hard you cheered.

HardRock with the canopy is great. It's not quite OB-level for me, but the changes keep the noise in the stadium and on the field and gives us a significant home field advantage and great atmosphere. They did a real nice job with the upgrades.

OB was special, they used to have to bring in what best could be described as carnival bleachers for the bigger rivalry games that would actually sway. However, it was beginning to fall apart, it was equivalent to me of your first car. It was rusty, pipes leaked and hissed, but it had a special place in your heart.

I was at the last OB game and I remember certain boosters offering serious cash to anyone that rushed the field and somehow got the 58 game winning streak banner, I also remember shalala sending out emails essentially saying you will be arrested and expelled if you rush the field and/or vandalize the stadium in anyway, and aside from laying an egg to UVA (I swear that stupid tight end is still running open) there were more cops than I had ever seen surrounding the field.

I did notice the week previous that most of the orange bleacher seats were screwed in with allen wrenches and stuffed some in my sock prior to the game and was able to disassemble seats for myself and a few of my friends. The OB staff thought they outsmarted the crowd again when they began funneling people out of only ONE gate to collect any seats, banners, etc. people were carrying, I grabbed the drunkest latina I saw standing in line, stuck the seat under the back of my shirt and told her to hop on for a piggy back and carried her out of the stadium. Those seats have been turned into barstools at my house.
 
***** nuts dude. TV does it no justice. I always go back and watch these big games and I am shocked at how normal it sounds on TV while at the game its gets loud as ****.
 
I was honestly scared that the OB would collapse when the stadium got really loud and fans were stomping and jumping. The entire building would shake like it got hit by a 10.0 earthquake.
 
I've been to a Chiefs game at Arrowhead.

This rivals Arrowhead.
I have to get to a Canes game to experience this.

And Canes fans should definitely try to break Arrowhead's decibel Guinness World Record at HRS.
