3rd down bell
I was watching some old home games today. When the 3rd down bell chimes (AC/DC- BAck in Black) it get s me wound up. The players seem to really react to it too.
Anyway, it got me thinking...is that something that is Ohio State's, or does it happen at other stadiums?
And please, nobody even compare it to that annoying Nitany Lion roar!

That song has been used by other stadiums and sports...San Diego used it in the '90s when their famous bullpen closer (can't recall his name) came in. I've heard a couple times in other venues...

Hells Bells is commonly used in sports, but I can't recall anybody else that sounds the bell on third downs.

That is what I was wondering. It is notorius in the Shoe on 3rd downs to get the defense fired up, but I don't know of any other team that does that.

I must admit, that bell is pretty badass. It's pretty much an instant boost for the crowd, especially in a big game.
I've got a fever.....and the only prescription is some more 3rd down hells bells.

probably not what you are looking for, but I happen to like the Lions Roar at Happy Valley on 3rd downs.
Im sure if you were a PSU fan you'd love it. I am not one, but when the sun goes down and I take my scarlet shades off i'll admit to admiring it.
maybe we should come up with a sound by dropping a bunch of nuts on the floor as our 3rd down shoutout.

Are you serious? They play that stupid roar seemingly every play. Annoying as hell if you ask me. | |
