Byrd Stadium atmosphere...

[retro44]

other than the tailgate there was no game atmosphere.

I hope the big 10 was not peeking in on them

After Miami, VT, and BC joined the ACC in 2004 and ESPN paid the conference what was - at the time - a ton of money, ESPN must have mandated their talking heads talk up the ACC. I remember Herbie talking about how great the ACC was, the wonderful game day atmosphere, the speed of the game, blah blah blah.

At the time I wondered if he felt at all like a whore, because he had to know every single word coming out of his mouth was a naked lie. The ACC was and is the Big East with name recognition. The fans are equally weak, the stadiums are equally mediocre, the game day atmosphere is substandard compared to the SEC/Big 12/Big10...it's just that people in Peoria had heard of NC State but had no idea what USF was.

Outside of Florida State and Clemson, the rest of the ACC is pathetic.

Jeezum, tell us how you really feel

On tv it appeared to be a great atmosphere... if one was wearing orange. Great to see road support in similar numbers to what we did to the Hoyas in their "home" games.

What was the actual attendance?

announced at 37.000 but that was not the number at the game.

It's all Ravens/Redskins in this area - no one cares about Maryland, they're such an afterthought.

We live 8 miles down the road in Kensington and we've remarked the same thing.

Way too much fun up in 305. WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!

Wow, feel sorry for the Terp fans. That place was a bummer. I don't know how many times they flashed that "Make Some Noise" graphic on the big screen and just nothing from the crowd. You'd think they're 0-8. Most people in my section did get there until the middle of the 1st and a bunch of them left at halftime. Too cold, they said! What a bunch of p#ssies! Will be going to the bball game at Comcast. Maybe the basketball fans are more into it.

I stopped in to look at the b-ball court at the Comcast Center. Impressive, big arena!
