    If our games were played and Hong Kong or Beijing we would be at full capacity.

    I haven't been to games since the season before @Owen12, but I would venture to guess that it's a combination of things, some of which you mentioned above.

    Crowd doesn't know how to be a crowd. I do blame mobile devices to an extent.

    The AD doesn't know how to create and sustain an atmosphere.

    Some of the blame is on Petersen's offense. They need to start fast and put their cleats on the other teams balls and stomp them into the ground. Do what works until the other team stops it. Getting inopportune three-and-outs will frustrate the fans and they'll tune out. Keep them engaged.

    Goods points Bazey. At this point, it seems like we can only get it up any more for Oregon, top 10 Stanford and the Kewg. It felt like we had no home field advantage with ASU, although I think ASU's game plan played a role in deflating what little energy the crowd had to being with.

    Husky Stadium was technically sold out on Sat (Band Day though) and that's the quietest I've ever heard for 71,000 fans.

    I'm guessing the gameday experience is very sterilized & they run a lot of annoying promos, but that's no excuse.

    I went to the Fiesta Bowl and thought the stadium atmosphere sucked. However, the Pedo State fans knew how to be loud. They were engaged. I know they are a bunch of backwater inbreds, but still.
