Top Ten Loudest Moments Inside Allen Fieldhouse

There is no other arena like it. There really is a feeling when you walk into that building. It has a soul to it. Then when it is packed with 16,300 fans and they get amped up, it takes it to another level. I've been there a few games and it gets so loud that you can't hear the person next to you, even if they're trying to tell you something. Then when a Jayhawk is on the free throw line, it's so quiet that you can hear the air moving through the vents. There have been many games where the announcers, who go to every arena to cover games, stop and marvel at the crowd noise, which they don't do very often for other broadcasts. It's too bad that we're not going to have that this year, but I can only imagine how loud that building is going to be once they have a full house in there again.

Despite being a die-hard Mizzou fan...I really want to experience at least one game in the Allen Fieldhouse. Even though I deeply dislike the Jayhawks, everytime I see that crowd go nuts, for some reason...it just puts a smile on my face. I just love college atmospheres like that!

I was at the Jacque Vaughn game against Indiana. Had no voice for 3 days after that. It was also insane the next season when Jason Kidd and Cal got thumped. And when Randy Rutherford went off for 45 but we still beat Okla St.

I was at the KU-Kentucky game when the Jayhawks won 150-95. Definitely the loudest game I've ever attended.

Before clicking, I thought, "Number #1 has to be the T-Rob block." And I was not disappointed. It's hard to tell, but it's like it was so loud that the audio went out when he blocked that shot.

UCLA vs Kansas on December 2, 1995 was the loudest game I experienced out of about 100 games I attended at the Fieldhouse. So much that Ryan Robertson mentioned it four years later on Senior day.

Dec 2 1995. UCLA defending champs up by 15 at half. Quietest fieldhouse. Kansas won by 15. 2nd half of sustained mayhem that hasn’t seen the like since. The roaring came in giant waves for 25 minutes. UCLA was shelled by the end.

It was great to see Mitch Lightfoot hugging Jacque Vaughn in 1993 after his game winner against Indiana.

Think my fav game @AFH was in Feb 2006 vs Oklahoma. Wright/Chalmers & BRush were Freshman and still trying "find themselves together." KU was dwn 16pts in 2ndHalf. Those 3 found themselves that 2ndHalf and gelled together on way to a massive comeback win vs a very good OU team. 8 months later basically the same KU + a Darell Arthur beat #1Florida and reigning Champs in Las Vegas. That was a PRETTY important/epic gm I was at now looking back. Bulk that team was foundation 08 National Title team. Cuz Kansas wasn't even ranked that late in Conf Play. With Rush/Wright/Chalmers/Kaun in Feb 2006.

I was SOOOOOO hungover watching that 1/1/2005 GTech 11am tipoff gm on my couch. Maybe my fav Kansas gm watching on TV. I wasn't hungover by end! KU literally CURED me.

By far the best venue in college basketball. So much talent in this program. Pierce going unconscious was crazy. I will ALWAYS remember the last Missouri game and that block LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂That Texas game and that run, outstanding. Kansas just absolutely destroyed Kentucky that game. Any time Kansas comes back on West Virginia is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂I’ve seen four of those comebacks.

I realize it wasn't during an AFH game, but the sound from the people there watching the title game in 2008 when Chalmers hits the shot? That had to be up there among the loudest.

No. 5 is pretty frickin awesome. College Basketball on New Years Eve n New Year's Day is just awesome.

I dont know what year it was but I remember a KU game when Greg Ostertag (obviously misspelt) stole the ball at the opposite end, ran it back while doing a behind-the-back switch dribble and dunked it. The house went pretty crazy as Greg was a center

That Kentucky game in 1989 was crazy!!! I was there from 89-93 and the place was magical. So proud to be a alum a part of the legendary noise.

My cousin and aunt were at the Fieldhouse watcing the 08 championship game and they say that's the loudest they'd ever heard it in there even though it was only half full. Half full of students, though. During a game it's about a quarter full of students.

The game against OU (#1 vs #2) with Buddy Hield going into 3OT, would be on this list if the entire fieldhouse didn’t lose our voices in regulation.

The only thing I will add to my previous post is that all of the dates in this video were after the 1960's, 1970's and 80's, which was a 3-decade span of time when KU basketball was among the best programs in the country and had some of the most rabid fans in college basketball history. This era was also prior to all of the renovations that took place within the building. During that time, Allen Fieldhouse had wooden bleachers next to the floor that would fold in and out to accommodate practices and/or games. The Bleachers would be packed with students and alumni and the din they created next to the court was unfathomable. During the late 1960's & 70's Ted Owens was KU's Head Coach and the Jayhawks made several Final-4 appearances. Then in the 1980's came Larry Brown and the Danny Manning era which ended in 1988 with a Division-1 Championship vs Oklahoma at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. Allen Fieldhouse has been an incredibly loud building since day #1.

Missed the loudest event ever. Danny Manning's senior year final home game. Last minute they brought Archie Marshall in with his knee in a brace from 2nd blown out knee. Loudest and most emotional crowd ever.

So glad you had Georgia tech on this list with Langford hitting that shot. That was definitely the loudest I’ve ever heard AFH
