How was it without a crowd? More enjoyable being able to spread out and hear action or lame due to poor atmosphere?

I’ve been to two. Had a great time with both. Sat in the stands at one and a box for the other. The box wasn’t any different as everyone was sans mask and it was like a normal game once you entered the suite. Sitting in the stands was way better than normal because you got to stretch out. We pumped in crowd noise big time so it was still plenty loud in the stadium. Honestly, other than not sitting in my normal seats, I can’t complain about how Arkansas has handled the situation.

Went to the UGA game. Did not like it at all and will not go to another game this year.

went to the AU/Ark game. Was surreal more than enjoyable/unenjoyable given the pandemic + the hurricane.

Going to the LSU game this weekend as well

I had a great time. No lines anywhere, freedom to move, and my team won handily.

MSU @ UK & A&M @ MSU

We had a great time. Certainly not as loud or an "electric" environment, but in some ways more enjoyable. No lines anywhere. Plenty of space to spread out in your seats.

Half time is a bore. They just slap the band nerds on the jumbotron. Apparently they can play safely in the stands, but marching on the field is super duper spreader activity...that is entirely different than the much safer activity of playing football.

Went last week...it was great to actually have some space to yourself, but Mizzou totally botched the experience with piped in crowd noise that was so high pitched it gave half the crowd a migraine...if they do that all year I won't go back.

Well,that's the type stuff they need to be told about. If a group of people relayed those sentiments then they would adjust the tone or amount of noise ,I'm pretty sure.

Been to all of them except the opener @arkansas.

It is nice having more space and no lines at bathrooms and concessions, but I'd take a real game day 10 times out of 10. It almost feels like watching a scrimmage

My two kids and I went last week, LSU. The pregame sucked ballz with no tailgating. Tried to get into a bar or two to no avail. Game was good but for the price was not.

Went to the UGA/Tenn game and it was just weird. I agree, it felt like a scrimmage. Just didn't have the normal buzz.

It came through on the broadcast and Twitter made a pretty big deal about it...even some articles written about it so hopefully they kill it for the rest of the season. It was great to be at a game but the experience was...lacking.

I've been to Chapel Hill for the UNC v VaTech game. Nice being able to spread out. Due to state restrictions, only 3,500 fans allowed in the stadium.

The only negative were the mask Nazi's who insisted I put my mask on between sips of beer - outside with no one around me.

I am just grateful for games this year. I hope it gets to finish without some shite show interruption.

Been to AM and UGA. On one hand it’s awesome not dealing with crowds and on the other hand I want it to be wild and crazy.

It was good there was 12k people the cowbells were still loud though I think at some point they were pumping in some noise. I was able to buy beer for the first time in Davis Wade so that was cool. And then after that I was sad. So sad. Ver very sad. But that's cause we don't run the ball and all and it makes me want to jump down a flight of stairs and fall because a pass against 3-8 isn't the right call. That's all.

Went to the Bama-A&M game. Only complaints were the fake piped in crowd noise and no video monitors in the concourses. Liked the lack of lines and traffic.
