First trip to Louisville, so here are some thoughts about the game environment and such.
Our fans really showed up. Good numbers, and loud and excited from before the kick until the end. Way better than Pitt or USF. Wish we could have that sort of energy at home.
Louisville fans were fine. Nobody said anything to us or got hostile or anything, they just left us alone. It was a pleasant environment.
All their stadium seats are non-folding plastic bucket seats. Kinda comfortable and nice, actually.
Their crowd was pretty sparse - no way it was the 51k announced. More dense on the visitor side than the home side, but pretty light.
They give visitors decent seats - a whole lower deck section kind of on the goal line. Some of the better road tix I’ve gotten through Tech.
Their band was surprisingly small and hard to hear at the opposite end of the stadium.
They didn’t bombard you with ads and announcements and PA music. There were some, but not too frequent and at a reasonable volume. Wish our home team would pay attention to stuff like that.
They seem to have a random mishmash of traditions. They have a sledgehammer, ring a bell, spell, wear hard hats, play Enter Sandman, etc. Didn’t seem to really have a signature identity thing that I could identify.
