I sat in section 128, one of the official SU sections. Was extremely impressed by Reliant Stadium. It is a structure with the seating attached directly to the walls, so there is no recession between the decks of seating. This makes for great sight lines and intimacy.
They spent a lot of money on amenities too, including the world's largest scoreboards (one in each end zone). Great facility.
Hard to judge from inside it all but I think UM had around 25% more fans. Their fans sat almost exclusively in their university seating where the SU fans were more distributed through the stadium. In terms of loudness, it sounded very close to me.
The UM fans I encountered were Minnesota nice and I have nothing bad to say about them. Classy bunch.
