Easier to be loud when you pump in artificial crowd noise

^^^ This. Utahs fake home field advantage. A loud sound system.

So bush league. Truck-stop university.

He's not super reliable on this. Said Utah fans didn't need to be told when to

Ok, this fits more in what I was thinking. I've been to a lot of stadiums where

Watched that video. He honestly looked like he was trying to find nice things to

I was just about to say this

Like Michigan, they have a mic for the band amplifying the sound.

It's also the stadium design wrapped tightly around the field.

LES doesn’t have to pump fan noise in.

Drake came to two games: BYU at Utah / SIU at BYU. Definitely an apples to apples comparison 😆

This. Guarantee if you ask him where he’d rather watch a holy war, he’d say LES.

Less kids + more alcohol = louder

Important to read the specifics...which actually tracks with my (admittedly out of date) experience

The ROC know ball better than the MUSS these days

puntersarepeople

Wouldn't disagree... but that's about 15% of each crowd

Meh- Rice Eccles had a huge bump from the visiting BYU fans.

PJMort

That's true. The noise level from BYU fans was impressive!

Drake loved his BYU experience and if he comes next year for the rivalry game, he'll change his opinion.

RES is tolerant of alcohol getting inside.

RES is a newer stadium with multiple upgrades since 2002.

They have to go to something completely subjective because they don't have any

Rocketman

I'd love to hear Drake's analysis if he had worn blue on Saturday.

Cosmos-beard-card

He didn't say that. He said the intensity was higher at RES. Rivalry week, bowl

This 100% - I was at RES on Saturday night on Row 6 behind the BYU sidelines.

A combo of artificial noise & hard liquor creates for an obnoxiously loud crowd
