The back-and-forth between Alabama football and Tennessee continues amid Week 8’s fake crowd noise debacle. After radio announcer Chris Stewart clarified his comments on Neyland Stadium piping in fake crowd noise to amplify the ambiance of Tennessee football’s 24-17 win against the Crimson Tide, Alabama football’s video producer is speaking out.
Alabama football video producer Patrick Greenfield corroborated Stewart’s claim, retracting that Tennessee football wasn’t pumping in fake crowd noise. Instead, the noise is “amplified” with its speakers placed directly behind the Crimson Tide’s bench, and it was deafening.
“There were literally 3 speakers on each sideline with eardrum-busting level crowd and band noise,” Greenfield posted to his X, formerly Twitter. “Never seen that before.”
Then, Greenfield added a photo to his post for its proper context.
“Here is a picture of one of the speakers at Neyland that pumps in crowd/band noise,” he wrote, accompanied by a photo with the speaker circled.
