Anyone saying 2002 Purdue has a terrible memory or wasn't really there.
That game was not even a sellout and thousands of people had left early as it looked like Iowa was going to lose. There was MAYBE 55K people in the stands at the end. Nothing comparable to some of the packed houses that people have mentioned in this thread.
I went to the 0'4 Purdue game and while it had its moments, the Wisconsin game was literally the loudest environment I have been in by far in my life. Seriously, I was screaming at the top of my lungs and couldn't hear myself and wasn't sure If I had actually made any noise lolMaybe it's the nature of the games, or something like that. But I have always thought that Kinnick gets MUCH louder when it gets dark outside.
The tOSU game of 2006, Purdue of 2004, are examples.
But the loudest two for me were definitely Iowa-Michigan 1985, and Iowa-Penn State 2008.
1985 Iowa vs. Michigan. /End thread.
Side note, I love offseason threads because it usually involves reminiscing about past awesomeness and not everyone bickering over coaches and what not.
Good times.
Michigan 1985. Been to nearly every home game since. It has never been close. The stands were shaking that day. Utterly deafening.
#1 Iowa vs #2 Michigan 1985, will never forget it. Not just loud, but a frenzy of emotion at the end. Hope that happens again in Kinnick under similar circumstances really soon, everyone needs to experience that at least once in a lifetime

When Jim Harbaugh has to ask the refs repeatedly for more time on the clock to call plays and more time to hike the ball without suffering a delay of game because his own linemen can't hear him, and the refs AGREE with him and permit an indefinite amount of time to hike until the crowd quiets down, nuf said.
