Not sure if these are the loudest but they’re pretty memorable.
Loudest Kroger Field moments
- Thread starter rick64
- Start date
Anwar returning the blocked kick for me and it's not all that close.
I stood still and watched the return from the front row of the upper deck.
The upper deck shook up and down like I have/had never experienced.
I've had season tickets for 35 years.
The Trevin Wallace blocked kick return last year was REALLY loud but still second to Stevie Johnson's TD against the Cards.
Honorable mention would be Bud Dupree's Tip Drill TD against the Cocks.
2 that you would think would have been loud, actually weren't as loud as the above 3: LSU ending in 2007 and Couch to Yeast TD to beat the Tide. Everyone was in SHOCK and looking for a flag to take the victory away.
Awesome video!!!

That was the play former when former Cat Brad Durham lost his balance and fell to the lower level.
I was there the night Woodson hit Stevie to beat the cards in 2007 and it was so loud I couldn’t hear the person beside of me screaming ….. great night
What a lot of people don’t remember is that the entire play happened in slow motion.
I’ve been going since 1973. I agree with your top three for loudest moment, though I had the Bud Depree int. #1, Stevie got loose #2 and Trevin Wallace blocked punt return #3. The Anwar Stewart TD was loudest to that point, but stadium was smaller and end zones not enclosed. Note: I wasn’t at the #1LSU win.
I think the LSU and Yeast TD in OT may not be as loud because so many were climbing over the wall onto the field and not screaming as much since the these ended the game.
Last note, the Florida game last year was the loudest game from start to finish of any game I’ve been to anywhere.
GO BIG BLUE!!!
Right in front of me as I sit under the overhang of the top deck. Wife and I going crazy and Being a Ky fan I naturally look for flag for holding on us downfield and then saw him drop.
Elation turned to a panic as I tried to get to our k Man to get help!
The loudest I remember is 2007 when we beat #1 LSU. When Stevie got loose vs. UL was a close second.
No. Stevie got loose. UL. (at least for me)
I have heard for years that a petit young woman occupied the area Brad hit the hardest, and that she had stood to cheer the pick six, clearing the bleacher for Brad D’s fall.
I that true?
Brain fart. I was thinking of the play in 2017 when Steven Johnson (aka Smith) scored with 33 seconds to go.
tenn game where cobb ran all over them up until joker took him out of the final play.... That series was the loudest I've ever heard and I was 3 on this list.
Didn’t touch anyone, remarkable considering it was 3 stories and Brad was still a big dude.
The Johnson TD catch was a crowd that believed the Cards deserved the national ranking they had. We found out that it was no big deal beating that Card team as UK was just the better team anyway.
Games that I was at:
#5 Win over #1 LSU, the "We Believe" chant was incredible!
#4 Win over Alabama -- Couch to Yeast
#3 Win over USC -- Bud Dupree INT TD
#2 Win over Florida -- Wallace blocked punt return TD
#1 Win over UofL -- Stevie got loose. Someone behind us jumped on top of us! Couldn't hear my wife next to me.

Isnt that the truth. Us long timers have been trained like a dog with a built in delay switch before celebrating until after we scan the field looking for anything yellow.
One game where unfortunately half the crowd (if not more?) had left but those of us remaining made enough noise for a whole stadium the last few minutes: the late comeback against Petrino's Arkansas team in 2008.
Loved the Smitty helicopter play. Unfortunately I was at Molly Brooke's instead of Commonwealth during that one but I may have yelled loud enough to be heard anyway.
I’ve never met Brad or his family, though I live close to the Rock.
I ate dinner with Jason Leger’s Dad at a truck stop in Rock. two evenings, ago (there are some young Legers in Junior HS that might make some noise the next few years).
My understanding is that Brad Durham did, indeed, fully recover.
Can't disagree but the Wallace blocked FG vs. Florida was right there, as was the Stevie got loose play.
Speaking of the Dupree TD interception, I will say my wife was at a back yard party a mile away with some other ladies, and they went inside to watch the 4th quarter, she said the crowd was so loud they all knew something unbelievable must be happening.
During the 1997 Alabama game there was a Blue/White chant in the second half ... I lived in Blanding Tower. I was at the game but my roommate wasn't, and he could hear it inside our dorm room.
I would have to say Stevie got loose was the loudest. I think I was at all of these. Oddly, the LSU win was not incredibly loud at the end. Everyone was in shock and absolutely exhausted from all of the big plays in that game. Great video.
You know with all of the metal exposed due to lack of people, that may have been the loudest. I mean it was insane how loud that was.
We buried my Dad that Saturday. I gave my tickets to pall bearers.
But I watched it on TV.
And yes, something odd happened: maybe folks who left the upper deck were peaking back in the aisles down below and adding to the noise, and blocking its exit?
You are correct. I didn’t cheer as much at LSU thinking we had no chance, and I knew on that last stop we were going to have a late flag come in
I don’t know how any win could top the LSU win in 2007. National TV, LSU ranked #1, dramatic D stop on 4th down to preserve the win.
I was midway up the upper deck and the place was vibrating. I got my ass home and watched the tape delay!
