Virginia Tech's Entrance vs. #10 North Carolina

College Football is BACK, and the Hokies' Enter Sandman tradition is as hype as ever as they welcome the #10 North Carolina Tarheels.

well, they had plenty of footage of 2 Hokies players standing under the canopy for half the video which was not too exciting.

Premier league teams have on average more than 50k spectators and the atmosphere in somewhat any British voetbal stadium is better than this.

[@Steven-uk2fz]

@@LomuHabana Nah. Even Anfield famed for its "Magestic atmosphere" dies out after the first 10 mins and comes back for the last 5 mins. If you want a good example of lively crowds, go to Eastern Europe, and even then violence doesnt necessarily make a good crowd.

[@LomuHabana]

@@Steven-uk2fz I didn’t say Anfield is great, I said most English football games have better atmosphere than this. But I would say also in Western Europe, you Have great atmosphere. You just have to go to a club which isn’t as corrupted by money as the big teams/leagues. Lower tier club in Germany (like Dynamo Dresden, Fortuna Düsseldorf and Chemnitz) have great fans and fill quite big stadiums without having to be extraordinarily successful. Some exceptions in the Bundesliga as well (Frankfurt and Köln are the best examples). In England you have Millwall which are quite fanatic, as well as clubs like Bolton Wanderers. Sadly the English concept of commerce is destroying the culture for most bigger clubs, even in the Championship (2tier). And of course you have clubs from smaller countries like the Scandinavians,however they do not have that large crowds, usually.
