So the field will be warmer than the air so we won’t get the best effect but I bet it will still be very loud.

The FIELD will be warm. I'm guessing that heat will dissipate EXTREMELY fast in the air above the field.

Sound travels faster in warm air, so I doubt the record is beaten. Unless it’s colder on the field than above, in which case refraction might come in to play.

Someone should put together a really well designed guide/rules for going to a home game. Things like.. plan on standing 95% of the time. To create more noise do "x" things, etc.

I don’t think the cold is going to have as great of an impact on noise as some seem to believe.

The Oakland game a couple years back was like 6-10 degrees alll night and it was really loud all game. This is a much, much bigger contest.

It would be awesome if CP members around the stadium started some chants that could be heard on tv.

Sound does, indeed, "carry better" when air is calm and bitterly cold. Sound normally travels outward in all directions from its source. However, when air is bitterly cold, a strong "temperature inversion" (warm air above cold air) exists, and this resists the usual upward movement of sound. Sound waves heading up tend to reflect off the sharp temperature (and density) boundary that exists between the cold and warm layers, and sound waves return to the surface--often at a considerable distance from their source.

Frigid air is also extremely dense--sound waves travel well in such air. And, with no wind, background noise is at a minimum. Distant sounds can be clearly heard.
