After a victory over Seahawks in Seattle he was asked if he had ever experienced more noise in a stadium. His response was "Missoula Montana is way louder" - Tony Romo
"Because it's so closed in. The noise is so confined. My granddaughter got so scared in that place - she was 7 years old - she never let go of her mother for the whole first quarter." - Joe Gardi, coach
"Their atmosphere is a lot better than The Rock. Their crowd makes Michigan's 109,000 sound like mice. I promise you that there isn't another stadium in our division like Montana's stadium and fans. It was the loudest place I have ever been to in my life. Our 30K+ isn't even close to the 22,000 I heard today. The experience was awesome today." - Jerry Moore, App State Coach
" I've been to alot of places, this has gotta be tops. Reminds me of Autzen stadium in Oregon." - Todd Harris & Charles Arbuckle, ESPN announsers: App State (11-2) vs Montana (13-0) 2009
After playing at Nebraska and losing 17 - 3 loss in front of over 85,000 fans: “Coming here, we thought this would be the loudest crowd we've ever faced, but I'd say Montana was quite a bit louder.” - Thomas O'Brien, South Dakota State QB
SEC SCHOOL "I will end the discussion right now. I have played in Jordan Haire Stadium(Auburn:79k+) and @ Washington-Grizzly Stadium. It got loud at the end of the Auburn game when they scored the gw td with less than 1 minute to go in Tuberville's debut, but Montana was different. Those fans were right on top of you and i can tell you that is was louder in that "little" stadium than @ Auburn. " - App State player 2007-2010
UTENN "I have coached in stadiums all over the country in my career. Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Nebraska to name a few. All of these facilities held 80,000 to 100,000 people. None of these stadiums were as loud as the only FCS school in the country to sell more season tickets then Old Dominion, the University of Montana. What made Montana different was the fans were at their loudest when their opponent was on offense. They knew they could eliminate the offensive check system with noise. They were the 12th defender on the field by making the offense predictable. And they took great pleasure in every penalty the visiting team received. They knew that was their penalty !! " - Bobby Wilder, ODU Head Coach
