Georgia Southern @ ODU: 20068. I don't think that they quite captured how big ODU's crowd was. Sounded great though.
Wofford @ NDSU: 18267. It was a sell out so you'd think that number would be higher. Maybe they don't count the band or player tickets? If you tuned in when NDSU was on offfense, you'd be wondering if there was anybody there at all.
Sam Houston State @ Montana State: 16417. Simply put - that game looked big time. Great crowd too.
Illinois State @ Eastern Washingon: 7512. They've made great strides since 2010!

That's the stated capacity of Foreman Field. ODU has sold out every home game since they restarted football.

The "techno" chant got really annoying after the 100th time at Bozeman. How does that not get old for the fans there? Never seen something more overplayed. Maybe Fight On by USC.

Is that what they were saying? I could never make it out and they were doing it right across from me. What the hell is that supposed to be about?

Nah. I'm referring to the dance song that the crowd hums along to before kickoffs and other situations. Everytime I flipped to the game it seemed like they were doing it.

By "techno" he means it's crap that Europe has dumped on our shores via soccer stadiums. That did get old. Rule of thumb: If there's a "stadium remix" of a song, it's already gotten old. Can't blame it on the Bobcat fans though - they were great.

That's it! I'm too lazy to try to research it up. A lot of college teams are guilty of using too much anthem music instead of utilizing the bands more. But I think it's a little overboard there in Bozeman. But hey, if that's how they like it, can't blame them.

Atmosphere at ODU was off-the-hook. Very loud! Best FCS atmosphere I've ever experienced.

Michigan has a chant they do all game as well

Seven Nation Army is burned out too. I have a feeling I'm going to hear Gangam Style at every stadium I go to for at least the next 5 years.

Even at UC Davis where they have a superior band with 150+ members, they still pipe in some crap that I can't listen to, sometimes even over the band while playing.

I don't think any of us have said that's what we like.. Yeah it gets annoying, but we don't choose what they play, we just go along with what we're given.

I would have wanted to strangle whoever is in charge of the PA at ODU if they played that Ice Cream and Cake crap any longer.

It looked like there were some empty seats in the Fargdome. I'm guessing some fans who drive a long distance didn't make it due to the poor road conditions.

I don't know there was a class Alcorn vs Valley game back in the day that some way was probably one of the best experiences at a game they've ever been to FCS or FBS. I would imagine JSU vs SU has had some pretty lively game, and I understand the JSU vs Alcorn game was pretty lively this season

Loads of empties all over the home side of the field. There weren't really any huge clusters though, it was only a couple hundred.
