Nothing comes close
Having attended most the big home games from the early 90s on, nothing compares to that game or the game day atmosphere. Florida 2000 is second, and third for me was Alabama 2007 just because we needed that win so bad at the time.
Honorable mention to Bama '96 and Arkansas '98 because I ended up on the field after both, but damn the crowd at that Arkansas game was light considering what was at stake.

Nope. I have been to some good ones, but that one is head and shoulders above the rest.
Hard to top, for sure. Would say that Anthony Johnson 100yd pick6 and Pegues punt return were both couple of loudest responses I've heard in DWS.
When you consider the renovation and expanded crowd, the game day atmosphere with College Gameday there and the opponent plus the fact that win catapulted us to #1 NO home game ever will too Auburn '14.
Only Florida 2000 in my mind. And only because I was there for that one and not AU '14.
There was something special about that game. My friends and I knew from the moment we saw the 2000 schedule come out that we would win that game. We even chose our seats that day so we could easily jump the fence into faculty seating and move down to rush the field. Yeah, that level of confidence.

Bama 1996 would be the closest. They had won 15 in a row and 30 out of 31 or something crazy like that against us. It probably also saved Jackie Sherrill's job.

damn. forgot this one.
i think people often forget that game....night game at that.....that was a party for sure.....this game, Arky 98, UF 2000 were all top notch....AU 14 was great bc of the new atmosphere....
lookout for LSU 15 with it being 815, bells, whiskey, and enclosed stadium on espn......setting up nicely

Stoopid hunters.
That Ark game was awesome. But, I still get annoyed when I think about all of those empty seats considering what was riding on the game and the history of the program. It was like we had ever been in that position before. It should have been the greatest game crowd ever.
The Auburn 2014 game was the best atmosphere ever in that stadium with the best result. The atmosphere on campus pre-game was spectacular as well. I was at all of these other great games. A bunch were a lot of fun.
Thinking through it...1996 Alabama may come closest. I still enjoyed Auburn 2014 more.

I'd definitely say no. I will add that, if we had somehow pulled off the upset against #1 Florida in 09 that would likely still be tops in my mind. That was a rowdy crowd. But things settled down after the pick 6 and Florida slowly started to control the game.
Auburn last year was amazing.
The story I heard on all the empty seats was that Arkansas fans had bought up a bunch of tickets for that game then no-showed after the crushing loss to Tennessee (the Stoerner fumble) the week before. Back in those days we didn't sell out a ton of games, but when we were good and were playing a good opponent the 40k stadium was usually full.
The atmosphere for the Auburn game was just surreal. I got chills when the team ran onto the field. The crowd got insanely loud. Whoever decided that Shipping Up to Boston would be our intro song last season made a very good choice. I hope that stays the same this year.
I just remember being in total shock when we started taking knees at the end. The magnitude of what that win meant didn't hit me until it was over, that feeling was just awesome.
I was lucky enough to be there for all three games during that stretch. The Auburn game was fantastic, but I've never had more fun at a game than I had when we won in Baton Rouge. Seeing that place empty in the third quarter was amazing.
We've got a chance to create that incredible atmosphere again when LSU comes to town in Week 2. That's where it starts. Win that one and we are off and running again with a chance to have another really special season.

Nope. The only thing that could have made it any better...
would be for Auburn to have been ranked # 1 that day.

You are taking the literal meaning Of ever. I was referring to games played. Not games to be played.
Absolutely agree. I didn't think anything would be able to top the LSU game home or away. Seeing 25,000 in Tiger Stadium in the 4th quarter was very gratifying. Then the Auburn game came a few weeks later and topped it. Everything surrounding the game was amazing.
Bama 96 is second, but not that close. I have not experienced anything close to the Auburn game last year. The atmosphere was simply electric. Watched the replay the other night and got chill bumps again. the entire day, and long into the night was simply special.
2014 Auburn is #1 now but 1998 Ark was until then. In that 98 Ark game, that was the most raucous crowd I've ever been a part of at MSU with the crowd that was there. I just remember everyone there standing the entire last quarter, screaming their heads off and stomping on the bleachers. SO much drama with so much on the line.
'91 vs Texas...Jackie Sherrill was getting it rolling...it was hot, then it rained, then it was hot again...and it was my first date with my wife, so that beats the Auburn game for me.
But just barely.
