I have been at all of the games listed so far all were great games and moments ,but I would have to say the loudest moment would be the play where Hicks returned the tipped pass for a TD against Iowa in 05.
Loudest Moment in JTS

Yeah that was loud! I'm somewhat surprised people are mentioning the 07 Iowa game, but there is no mention of the 05 Iowa game. I think the 05 game was MUCH louder!
I know the '05 Colorado game was loud, and the noise when Curvey returned the ball for a touchdown had to be unbelievable in the stadium. I say that because we had to leave just before it happened, and we could hear the cheering a half-mile away just like still being inside. I remember thinking, damn, what did we miss now?
I think I rank "The Run" and the 07 Iowa Game FG as my two loudest moments. I was fortunate enough to be there for both. On "The Run" I was sitting in the south endzone with my parents and remember watching the Wagner block setting up. Then the next game I went to that year they played P.O.D "Boom" and they had the "here comes the BOOM!" timed up with that massive block. I also remember screaming "get rid of the ball!" only to watch Seneca run the "S" and having my mom (who really doesn't care for sports with the exception of ISU beating Iowa) even being excited about that play. I remember 07 clearly because I was a freshman and was pretty sure we were going to lose that game. (still nearly did on the following kickoff after the FG :/ ) And I was screaming at the top of my lungs when the referee's put their hands up saying that it was good. I had Iowa Statesmen on the monday following that game and my voice was still shot from screaming so much. Also definitely personally my most memorable moment at JTS as it's one of the 2 games I've rushed the field for.
I think that 01 game was one of the loudest as well. That play, the play where Seneca got intercepted only to have the hawk fumble it pack, and and then the punt that Kalil Hill? muffed and ISU recovered.
Then throw in 9/11 caused the game to be moved to Thanksgiving weekend, bowl positioning was riding on the game, and the atmosphere was electric.
Too bad this will never happen every year. Rivalry games at the end of the season seem to be much more exciting.
2007 has to be right up there I remember not having a voice for probably 2 weeks after that one.
The most electric game I recall being at was the '02 season during the NU game. We could do almost nothing wrong, NU couldn't do anything right, national tv, packed house, ISU was top 20 or right there.
Opening kick to final gun, the game was just awesome.

Great game - I was there in person and while it was loud that day, it just doesn't compare to the other moments mentioned.
Electric - yes. Loud - I remember louder moments.
This gets my vote and it probably peaked when "Big Play" Curvey got the pick 6.
That was just a crazy day and game. The wind blew around 40 mph the whole game. I talked my father-in-law from Eastern Iowa (season ticket holder for Iowa) into coming to the game with us and he said that that was one of the best atmosphere's he had ever been around and that mean a lot cause he hates ISU.
