stadium noise

Fans cheering loudly

Stadium noise is the collective sound of a large crowd at a sporting event—cheering, chanting, booing, stomping.

The term often appears in football contexts, where crowd noise can disrupt the opposing team's communication: The stadium noise made it impossible for the quarterback to call an audible.

Teams sometimes measure it in decibels as a point of pride.
