Nothing like TS. Not many people claim BDS to be hostile. I surely don't. Most people will just be milling around the quad, lots of stuff for kids to do but the circus type atmosphere at TS is not even remotely close to what you will see. Most folks at BDS are there for the game. Some schools I honestly believe folks get off more on the tailgating. It's a subdued, kind of almost quiet crowd. The loudest thing you'll hear are Denny Chimes before the game.
You'll have an appreciation of the fans. Nobody bothers you and you can be comfortable. Even Iron Bowls are civil compared to some places. A great place for a visiting fan to come.

I wouldn't say subdued but more relaxed. Tons of people tailgating on the quad. Band playing out there. Lot more rowdy on the strip.

I'm one of the ones that just goes to tailgate and rarely goes to the game. Our tailgating spot is near the strip and the weird thing is we can barely hear the stadium crowd from our spot. Some of that is due to the TV and a small generator sometimes running, but now that BDS is fully enclosed, the sound doesn't travel as well. We used to be able to hear the stadium from my friend's apartment downtown.
