Having lived the McWilliams years and seeing 10s of thousands of empty seats in almost the same scenario (capacity 77,809 - so if every ticket holder showed up - ha! - 64% full - in reality a lot less and as depressing as the final score) in a very similar scenario - vs same team after Thanksgiving - and technically not a lot to play for - I was impressed with the energy of the crowd and how many showed up. That was great to see and really encouraging to see how the game day experience has changed for the better over just the last few years!
But wow, they definitely turned the scoreboard up to 11 now!
