    I assume Hamilton’s run is over in the Seattle area since the stadium appeared pretty full

    The stadium was about 75-81% full at its peak. That's between mid 2nd quarter when people make it to their seats from tailgating and getting snacks then through them taking selfies for an hour and then heading back out to the tailgate and snacks.

    This was moments before kickoff



    It was very loud, I think that's what matters
    Is it? Could it be louder? How loud was it?

    118-120 standing decibel on the average offensive play according to my nerd friend's apple watch. Which is insanely loud.

    You girls shrieking into an Apple Watch doesn’t count.
    I had your wife shrieking in joy a couple hours after the game.

    You could see what a clusterfuck 520 was well into the 1st quarter and that definitely contributed to a lousy crowd at kickoff. The people who made it did their jobs though making it tough on MSU. By the 2nd q things had cleared up and this is what peak attendance probably looked like:

    We are now getting to Hamilton level shit. People know when the game starts. The have technology at their fingertips to navigate and plan for traffic. The game is a minute 30 in. Traffic is no excuse.

    The pattern is the same for every game. Late arriving crowd, peak mid 2nd quarter, an hour of peak crowd (with selfies and phone malarkey ) then dwindles after halftime. 520 had zero to do with that scenario playing out yesterday. I don't think I've seen a close to packed house at kick off for 30 years or more

    I was there and from my perspective it was 85-95% full.

    And it was definitely loud, but could be louder. Husky stadium still has enough juice to make a difference in the game and did.

    75% is a lie, we get it's not 1991, but that atmosphere wasn't embarrassing and it's going to get better if the team continues to improve and win games.

    75-80% is very accurate at its peak. Zoom in on any crowd shot throughout the game and tell us otherwise.
