Go to the Games (Home Game Attendance) because

For those who haven't seen the new stadium… you don't need 100,000 for a big time college football atmosphere. 45k seat stadium for a school with 13k undergrad and 15k total students, similar to us. And this is a Baylor program that really did come from the bottom of the Big 12 to become one of the top teams in the country.

NOTE: second video link is a different video of the opening game. Player entrance before first game in new stadium, opened this year

good attendance never affects game play.
I disagree with this. A big, loud crowd can impact the game in a few different ways. It can disrupt the opponent on offense by hampering communication. If you watch enough football, you will see games every season, both college and NFL, where the QB can't communicate with his team because of crowd noise. Sometimes it leads to forced TOs, other times it leads to the ball being snapped before the QB is ready, resulting in a fumble. Anyone remember the 1st play in the last Super Bowl? That was a direct result of crowd noise.
I also believe that emotion plays a role in football. A large, loud crowd can lead to a higher level of play from the home team. It can hurt sometimes as well, as some players get too "amped" which can hamper their performance until they settle down.
