I've attended two games at DKR, both vs ranked Okie St teams. While the stands were packed, it didn't seem like the atmosphere was all that loud. I've been in several SEC stadiums that I felt were much louder. I'd be interested to hear about the experience from those who attend today's game in comparison to other stadiums.

BTW, lots of eye candy to enjoy if you happen to like good looking coeds in sun dresses, cowgirl boots and hats. With 50+k students, law of averages say there will be a lot of good looking ones. There are.

Outside both schools being huge, the differences between TX & A&M couldn't be bigger. One a city, lib-oriented hemmed in by the city & the other with what I think is the largest campus in the country almost in the middle of nowhere that is quite conservative.

Yep. I lived in SWLa for eight years back in the 90s, worked with engineers from both schools but more so from A&M. I’ve been on the A&M campus two different times.

I can attest their cultures are very different and they really don’t like each other.

Had a co-worker go to the UF beatdown a couple of weeks ago and that was her comment too.
 
No home team in a day game against a team with a losing record will have a raucous crowd. DKR get plenty loud for big games. Same at Texas A&M. Not real crazy unless it's a big game. I've been to LSU games during the day and they are no different than the day games at DKR.

I went to the LSU vs UF game this year. It is the first time I had been there in about 30 years. It was an electric atmosphere. It was extremely loud and the fans didn't let up, not even one play. Just from the sound on TV, it sounded the DKR atmosphere was nothing like the UF atmosphere.

On TV it sounds like the UK fans bring it during a big game that is not a blowout. I haven't been to Kroger field for a big game, so don't know what it is like.

The Stevie Got Loose game was exceptionally loud
 
Tiger stadium at night gets rocking, but like another poster said, playing a crappy team in a day game just doesn’t draw and drive the fans crazy like a night game against a ranked opponent. The fans expect a blowout and an early departure to celebrate the victory.
 
Their game day atmosphere beat the hell out of ours. I thought it was great.

I didn't see them introduce the tiddlywinks intramural team or teacher of the month during a TV timeout. So theirs is clearly better on that fact alone.

I went to the game at DKR last saturday. It's a great atmosphere. Not the rowdiest, but lots of pageantry with a great band and fan interaction. Also, no offense to us, but this wasn't exactly a "big game" for them.

With that Said, there were a ton of UK fans there. Huge turnout for a bad team. I really enjoyed my trip there.
