RE: Crowd noise
If you weren't in the building, pretty much impossible to know how loud it was. Its the loudest I've ever heard The Barn. Sustained noise, bursts of noise, noise when on a run, noise when needing a stop, noise when the call went for us, noise when the call went against us. I sat down at 7:34 and felt like I was late. The entire student section was packed when I got there.
People were freaking fired up for the game. I got to Sally's around 5 and couldn't get a table (ended up at the bar) and by the time I left, had trouble getting out of the place because it was so full.
I’ve heard the Barn be louder more than a few times, but this was the best in ages. It shows that for all the gimmicks and so forth, there’s nothing like a good Gopher team playing a good opponent to get fans in the seats in full voice. Had they not fallen behind for such stretches in the second half it would’ve been louder for more sustained periods.
