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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

So many great memories!

Loved this.

Thank you for vids.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Great video, thanks for posting Tate!

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

That Robinson block was crazy!

Allen Fieldhouse is the Chicago Stadium of college basketball. INCOMPARABLY LOUD!

Gotta love it! 🏀

wow !

Our comeback vs Iowa St in like Jan 2013? We hit banked 3 send it to Overtime. I was there and loud! Ben McLemore

My parents said their ears were still ringing days after that Kentucky beatdown.

No. 2 is pretty awesome. Loudest and Wildest and Craziest I've ever seen AFH be. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ALL. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK FOREVER!!!!!!! The Loudest n Wildest and Craziest college basketball crowd I've seen is the 1990 Crowd at Hearnes Center in , Columbia Mizzou when they beat No. 1 19-0 Kansas Jayhawks. My not be AFH, but still awesome.

Was there when we won the Natty this year... And even for a watch party that place ERRUPTED!! And of course we stormed the court! #rockchalkjayhawk

What is the music playing in the background?

March 2013, Senior Night Jeff Withey makes his only attempted 3 pointer and Allen goes bonkers. I know, I was there.

Another that maybe should have been considered was Feb 22, 1984 Vs OK when Calvin Thompson hit a 35 foot jumper to send the game to overtime. Unfortunately, KU went on to lose, but it was loudest moment for which I was present. I was present for only the Vaughn 3-pointer vs Indiana in this list.

I was at the game with Thomas Robinson’s block, maybe 15 rows behind the basket. I was a wee freshman in college and I don’t know if I’ve seen too many KU hoops moments like that one before or since.

Remember watching that Tex @ KU 2003 game with Dickie V. Big Monday on ESPN. "He shot that fr Kaaaaan-saaaaas-Ciiiii-teeeeeee!"

I wish he’d cut music out during the cheers to hear them better

I remember i went to a kansas vs Oklahoma game and it was so loud

i thought i was going to go deaf when they announced the football team was ranked 2nd back in 07 vs umkc.

Yo that GT game... my god it was crazy and i'd probably give it number 1.

80 points at half is just batshit. 4 points a minute. Assuming UK had the ball as often as KU, That’s a possession every fifteen seconds, and scoring two points per. That’s a game I would have loved to have seen live.

🙏🙌🏻❤️👏🏻

How you misse3d the Michael Beasley revenge game in 08 is beyond me. Loudest I ever heard the fieldhouse

The West Virginia game comeback and the triple OT with OU should have been somewhere in here. Other than that, not bad.

Any1 remember a Conf game in Jan or early Feb 2006? When KU was dwn like 16pts early 2ndHalf to Oklahoma? KU came back won. I was at that game Super loud

Baylor #3 ranking in 2012. That 2011-12 Bay team was DAMN GOOD! Especially in Frontcourt. Scott's 2nd best Bears team. I use HATE Scott Drew. But last 5-7 yrs I've grown love his passion for game and his ability to coach/recruit. Scott Drew and what he's done at Baylor? Is undervalued. Should be a movie. Just respect to KU'Ss new in Conf Rival last 5yrs. Lol but I know Self snagging #2 RIGHT after Drew tied Self in National Titles has piss Drew off. Shit? Bay or KU both have excellent shots at winning 2023 National Title. * Love it if KU landed that SF Mayer transfer fr Bay. He's a 3point shooter. Self needs land least 1 more transfer jumpshooter. This 2022-23 Jayhawks team could be VERY VERY VERY good & deep by Valentines Day 2023. It's gonna be a more "typical Self-lead Hawks team." Deep Frontcourt.

7:15 45th STRAIGHT DOUBLE FIGURE SCORING GAME?!?! 😲

This list left out one of the top moments. Kentucky at Kansas 1/30/16. SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Kansas fans camped out for this game and the Phog Allen Fieldhouse broke the sound decibel record! See below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IChzawvcLig.html

You forgot My Boy Mario Chalmers Shot against Memphis

BigXII has been an absolutely consistently tough Conference last 20yrs!

I've been prob 20gms at AFH since 1989. Lol Jayhawks are so epic at home? "Seeing or being at a HOME-LOSS" to me is actually more unique/memorable. I'm like (19-1) going watch Hawks @AFH. ONE LOSS?!? I was at the 2013 Okla St gm where we blew a late 4-6pt lead to Marcus Smart & Cowboys. Smart was so excited? He did a backflip mid-court. Met Patrick Richey just passing bye for 2nd time that gm. 1st time was in 1999. Waiting in line refill my beer at a home UMKC gm. Had free season tickets to Roos fr 98-02. They actually had good team of local boys. Michael Jackson was their star player. They almost made NCAA Tournament in 01 with Quinton Day out Paseo. Will Palmer out Truman. It was great venue at Municipal Auditorium.Season Tix came with 4 free tix/free underground park/unlimited free beer fr Alumni Room. Those Valparaiso gms were CRAZY then! Roos beat em couple times those yrs.5

KU imo just picked up IN MY OPINION THE BEST transfer available in that big body 6'6 Wing out TTech. Man I would now give up 18 FF banner for no postseason ban. Cuz teams play loose and Self will coach loose after winning Natty. 09 Sweet16 KU was 3mins away fr 2009 Elite8! Up 5pts w/ 3mins left vs Mich St in 2009 Sweet16. Uggh! Sherron & Cole with Morris Twins as Frosh. I think Marcus Morris may be best all around player Self has ever had. Mason prob is best or Simien. Julian Wright was the most GIFTED player Self had imo. He stays Jr season? Has a 10-12yr NBA career. But man! Morris Twins were apart some head-scratcher L' s in NCAA Tournament. (Even tho we beat a Duke team in 18 Elite8 who's ENTIRE starting 5 went in 1stRd 2018 NBA Draft. Like 3-4 lottery picks. 6 total Duke players off that team were eventually drafted! Belive we had Graham & Svi in 2ndRd? Lololol!)7

The Kevin Durant game belongs on this list.

The Truth

How is the west Virginia game not number one? That's literally when they broke the record for loudest indoor stadium but it's like 6 on the list???

Go ku it’s so loud I’ve been to there twice

And forgot the Dunk by Wayne Seldon

PAY HEED ALL WHO ENTER

Uhhh...number 7 is literally the loudest indoor stadium moment in the world? How is it 7th? 130.4db

dont see unranked Kansa much but the hawks still won!! heck yeah

OU #1 vs KU#1 not on the list? Triple overtime. Best f

This doesn’t have the loudest. GBWR loudest. A month after uk set the record in Rupp, we broke it. Against uk?

Look at skinny Greg Gurley!

TIMEOUTTTTT OKLAHOMAAAAAAA!!!!!!! FULL TIMEOUT!!!!!!

Cameron>Allen fieldhouse>the field

Missouri lost the privilege to play KU, they aren't even worthy enough to stand on the same court

Most overrated venue in sports only loud during tv timeouts and absolutely most uncomfortable venue to watch a basketball game
