The home football game vs. Utah a few years ago was as good an atmosphere as any.
The reason it's been down the last few years is the team hasn't had a special season in a while. It's just not fun to watch our team get walloped by utah state, beat every year by utah, etc.
The atmosphere will improve as the team does.
Just think about the basketball atmosphere (when we were making the tournament). It's among the best in the nation when we're good.
