I didn’t think the game atmosphere was poor to begin with. RES started out rocking, the first third down Stanford had the entire stadium was standing and yelling. I even sit in a pretty mellow part of the stadium (W10, row 60) and people were into it.
The atmosphere definitely diminished as the game went on. That’s the thing with fans, you gotta give them something to cheer for and feed off of. There really wasn’t much of that in the second half. People started to bail mid way through the 4th quarter.
I stayed until the end and my voice still hasn’t recovered.
