It was really quite impressive.

Oh darn... I completely forgot about the metal bleachers in CT.
Between that & the Oink Oink Boom team coming this year & the rest of the already loud CT/MA/NY teams attending...
Aye.. I should have gone and voted higher than I did & should have chosen the "Standing next to a jet on takeoff " option!

jersey was really loud... for most of the last two days, i had to shout to talk to someone in the row in front of me... also, the DRP was one of the loudest things i have ever heard... we had all these crazy chants going on... the weird thing was, we were rooting more for some other peoples's teams than they were...

Readings showing high levels of foot stomp are almost certainly "C" weighted. "A" weighting simulates the Fletcher-Munson human sensitivity curves which compensates for the reduced sensitivity to low frequencies and slightly reduced highs. I have modified your table with stated levels from a table in the Audio Engineering Handbook by K. Blair Benson from McGraw Hill. It includes OSHA industrial exposure limits but is by no means a comprehensive list.
